The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports said that its flagship initiative, Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat), has crossed over 2 crore registrations. The achievement marks a significant step in mobilising India’s youth towards the vision of a Viksit Bharat @2047.
Launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 31, 2023, coinciding with National Unity Day, MY Bharat has rapidly grown into one of the country’s largest youth-centric digital ecosystems. The platform serves as a technology-driven, one-stop solution for young citizens aged 15–29 years, connecting urban and rural youth to opportunities for learning, service, and leadership in nation-building.
Union Minister for Youth Affairs & Sports and Labour & Employment, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, described the milestone as a reflection of the energy and determination of young Indians.
“Crossing 2 crore registrations is a proud moment for the nation. It reflects the enthusiasm, energy, and determination of India’s youth to take part in nation-building. MY Bharat has become the heartbeat of young India, where enthusiasm meets opportunity and service meets purpose,” he said.
Minister of State for Youth Affairs & Sports, Raksha Nikhil Khadse, added that the platform is helping turn aspirations into action.
“Every new registration represents a young Indian stepping forward to build a stronger, confident, and self-reliant nation,” she said.
Since its inception, MY Bharat has created a vibrant ecosystem for youth participation, introducing initiatives like Volunteer for Bharat and the Experiential Learning Programme (ELP) that promote community service, leadership, and employability skills.
The platform also offers innovative features such as Public Profiles and a CV Builder, enabling youth to showcase achievements and connect with peers and mentors. Recently launched Quiz and Essay Modules have further increased engagement through interactive and knowledge-based activities hosted by partner organisations.
MY Bharat now serves as a hub for national youth movements including the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue, Viksit Bharat Yuva Connect, Viksit Bharat Padyatra, and Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat, which have seen participation from lakhs of young Indians.
With over 14.5 lakh volunteering opportunities and a network of 16,000+ youth club members and 60,000+ institutional partners, including government departments, educational institutions, and NGOs, MY Bharat has become a model of collaborative youth engagement. Partnerships with corporate entities such as Reliance have further expanded its reach through leadership bootcamps and civic action programmes.
As a phygital (physical + digital) initiative, MY Bharat bridges online engagement with real-world impact. It continues to grow with more universities, colleges, and development partners joining hands to offer structured programmes that nurture civic responsibility and leadership.
Guided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision, MY Bharat aims to unite and empower the Amrit Peedhi – India’s youth – to play a pivotal role in building an Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat by 2047.
