Irani made the appeal while addressing the media here on the initiatives her ministry has taken in the first 100-day's rule of the National Democratic Alliance government. "Since today is Sep 11, the day when Swami Vivekananda gave that historic speech in Chicago, I take this opportunity to appeal to all vice chancellors across all central, state and deemed universities that the University Grants Commission has proposed a plan whereby chairs can be set up in the name of Swami Vivekananda so that his philosophy, teachings and life can be researched upon and studied." Swami Vivekananda's speech at the World's Parliament of Religions on this day in 1893 made him famous as a "Messenger of Indian wisdom to the Western world".
