Vrindaban Sevashrama celebrated the National Youth Day on 12 January, 2026, through a small procession and a public meeting - sharing and discussing about various thoughts of Swami Vivekananda ranging from self-development, service to the poor and needy as God Himself to nation building and man making education. In all, around 450 people participated in the programme, the programme ended with the National Anthem and distribution of gift and food packet to students & a few staff members and refreshments to all. 

VVrindavan Dham is a refuge for devotees, sadhakas and the poor alike, many of whom are deprived of food, appropriate shelter and clothing. This year too, like previous years, we covered the needy people with blankets late in the night. On two different nights by 5 vehicles, blankets were distributed at all major spots of Vrindavan, like roadsides of the Vrindavan parikrama marg, bank of Yamuna river and in front of all main Temples. Moreover, on other separate night, full sleeve inner garments (woolly cotton) were also distributed among Sadhus and the poor on the streets in and around Vrindavan. Following are the counts of blankets and woolly cottons distributed:
