Name[edit]

History[edit]

On 11 October 2023, in a momentous decision, the Union Cabinet approved the establishment of the autonomous body, Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat) to benefit the youth in the age-group of 15–29 years, aligning with the definition of ‘Youth’ in the National Youth Policy.[8]  

The Government of India decided to establish MY Bharat to engage the youth through empowering opportunities, utilizing high-velocity communications, social media, digital platforms, and emerging technologies in sync with today's rapidly changing world.[9]

Vision[edit]

India’s youth, pivotal in shaping the nation’s future, are crucial players in the transformative journey towards Viksit Bharat (developed India), which necessitates a unified platform for rural, urban, and rurban youth. Mera Yuva Bharat aims to bridge this gap, using technology to engage present-day youth. Through a phygital ecosystem, MY Bharat empowers young individuals to become "Yuva Setu" between the Government and the citizens to foster community transformation. MY Bharat presents the youth with Experiential Learning Opportunities, Volunteering Opportunities for Events, Mentorship, Community Engagement, Personalized Learning and more.

The establishment of Mera Yuva Bharat paves way for Leadership Development in youth, Better alignment between youth aspirations and community needs, Enhanced efficiency through Convergence of existing programs, Creation of a centralized youth database, Improved two-way communication to connect youth with government initiatives, and Seamless accessibility through a phygital ecosystem.

Reception[edit]

After the grand unveiling of MY Bharat, the platform resonated powerfully with India's dynamic youth community, garnering widespread acclaim across the nation. Remarkably, within just four months of its inception, MY Bharat surpassed 1 crore 50 lakh registrations as on March 5, 2024, recording more than 60,000 registrations every day, cementing its status as one of the most rapidly growing and influential youth communities in India.[10][11]

Fueling this remarkable growth are MY Bharat's diverse offerings, including experiential learning opportunities, volunteering programs, and events among many others. As the platform continues to expand with partnerships with a wide spectrum of Government Ministries, Departments, and Organizations, MY Bharat has been consistently delivering on its mission to empower every Indian youth with the tools and opportunities they need to shape a brighter future for themselves and the nation.

MY Bharat community is becoming India’s great strength in shaping a bright future for India. This sentiment was echoed by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi while addressing the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra when he said that India’s youth through ‘MY Bharat Volunteer’ are strengthening the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat.’[12] In his address during the Veer Baal Diwas on December 26, 2023, the Prime Minister invited every youth of India to register on the MY Bharat portal while stating that MY Bharat is becoming a big institution for the young daughters and sons of the country.[13]
