Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the ‘Mera Yuva Bharat’ or ‘MY Bharat’ platform, emphasizing its pivotal role in shaping the future of the nation in the 21st century. This launch took place at an event marking the conclusion of the ‘Meri Maati Mera Desh’ campaign and the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav at Kartavya Path. Additionally, the prime minister laid the e-foundation stone for an Amrit Mahotsav Smarak and Amrit Vatika.
Before the official launch, Prime Minister Modi symbolically contributed soil to the Amrit Kalash and marked his forehead with a ’tilak’ using the sacred earth. The Amrit Mahotsav Smarak and Amrit Vatika are planned to be situated near the iconic India Gate.
During his address, Modi expressed that future generations would be reminded of this historic occasion through the memorial and garden. ‘Mera Yuva Bharat’ (MY Bharat) operates as an autonomous entity with the mission of directing the government’s attention towards youth-driven development and making young individuals the “active drivers” of progress, as outlined by the Union culture ministry.
The prime minister underscored that this platform will play a significant role in the nation’s development throughout the 21st century.
