Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat)
represents a transformative shift in how
a nation engages with its youth. It is
rooted in the principle that empowering
citizens builds great nations by giving
them access to and ownership of nation
building. Civilisations advance not merely
through policies or institutions, but
through the active participation of their
people, especially their youth, who carry
both the energy of the present and the
vision of the future.
This vision is deeply anchored in
Bharat’s civilisational ethos, where
dialogue and collective wisdom have
always guided progress. The ancient
े
maxim ‘वाद वाद जायते तत्त्बोधः’ reminds
े
us that deeper understanding emerges
through continuous dialogue and
Dr Mansukh Mandaviya exchange of ideas. In many ways, MY
Bharat reflects this spirit by creating
Union Minister for Labour
and Employment; a platform where youth can engage,
Youth Affairs and Sports express, contribute, lead, serve, and
volunteer. It also nurtures a sense of seva
among young citizens along with a spirit
of responsive leadership.
In Bharat, this aligns with the belief
MY BHARAT that youth power is nation power, where
the aspirations of the next generation are
The MODIfied Vision of connected with national purpose. Today,
Bharat stands at a historic demographic
Youth for Viksit Bharat moment, with one of the largest youth
populations in the world. This includes
Gen Z and Millennials aged 15 to 29, who
are not just beneficiaries of development
but potential architects of the nation’s
future.
Recognising this immense potential
and the need for a unified platform that
caters to the aspirations of young people,
the idea of MY Bharat was conceived.
MY Bharat was launched on 31 October
2023 on National Unity Day as a national
platform dedicated to youth engagement
and youth led development. It is designed
as a next generation phygital platform
