About MY Bharat

• Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched ‘Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat)’ platform for youth of the country on National Unity Day, i.e., on October 31st 2023 at Kartavya Path, New Delhi. 
• Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat) is an autonomous body that is being set up by the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports to provide an overarching institutional mechanism powered by technology for youth development and youth-led development. 
• This mechanism would provide equitable access to opportunities for youth to actualise their aspirations and build an Amrit Bharat by 2047.
• The platform connects youth with programs and learning opportunities in Businesses, Government Departments and Non-Profit Organisations. 
• Such engagement would deepen youth understanding of the issues of the local community and would allow them to help in generating constructive solutions.
• MY Bharat would offer such experiential learning programs. Given that modern youth have good exposure to digital networks and digital tools, such learning programs can also provide local communities with useful inputs and at the same time provide an opportunity to youth to help others.

• The Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat) portal has reached a historic milestone with over 1.45 crore registrations as on 31.01.2024.
