‘Mera Yuva Bharat’ platform for emerging young leaders
On Wednesday, the Union Cabinet approved the creation of an autonomous body named ‘Mera Yuva Bharat’ or MY Bharat. The platform’s purpose is to provide young people with suitable opportunities for voluntary work in their preferred fields and help them discover such chances throughout the country.
This new platform, powered by technology, will allow the government to connect with and support the dreams and goals of young people. Its mission is to help India on its path to becoming a developed nation by 2047.

Thakur also said that, “Currently, India has around 400 million young people aged 15 to 19. This program aims to unleash their complete potential and provide them with chances to actively contribute to the development of our nation.”
With the new setup, where young people have access to resources and opportunities, they will play a vital role in transforming their communities and building the nation. They’ll act as a bridge, connecting the government and the people, like a “Youth Bridge,” Thakur added. The platform’s aim is to channel the abundant energy of the youth towards nation-building.
