On October 11, 2023, Information and Broadcasting Minister Mr. Anurag Thakur announced that the Union Cabinet has granted approval for the establishment of an autonomous entity called “Mera Yuva Bharat” (MY Bharat).
The primary objective behind the creation of Mera Yuva Bharat is to establish it as a government platform dedicated to youth development. Minister Thakur revealed that the official dedication of this body to the nation will take place on October 31, coinciding with the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
This platform is envisioned to serve as a comprehensive hub for youth-related activities and initiatives, providing an avenue for engagement. It is intended to facilitate two-way communication, fostering interactions between the government and the youth of the country.
Minister Thakur emphasized the significance of the youth demographic in India, noting that there are approximately 400 millions young individuals aged between 15 and 19. As a result, the introduction of the “Mera Yuva” (My Youth) Bharat platform is intended to cater to this substantial segment of the population. He made this announcement during a briefing to the Cabinet.
