“Viksit Bharat 2047” is an initiative aimed at realizing India’s aspiration of becoming a developed nation by its Centennial Year of Independence.   

To advance this goal of developed India by 2047 among youth, the “Viksit Bharat Ambassador -Yuva Connect” program has been conceptualized with the aim to foster youth engagement and leadership in the developmental transformation of India. These events are organised around discussions on the concept of Viksit Bharat with young people in educational institutions throughout India. Youth also get an opportunity to interact with eminent speakers.

Interactions with college students significantly contribute to their understanding of responsibilities in nation-building through various educational and experiential avenues.

Through these programs, emphasis is laid on values such as national identity, civic engagement, social cohesion, human capital development, critical thinking, and empowerment, so that students are better prepared to contribute positively to their societies. These interactions not only enhance individual growth but also strengthen the fabric of the nation as a whole.

MY Bharat portal is an overarching enabling mechanism-    powered by technology, for youth development and youth led development through ‘Kartavya Bodh’ and ‘Seva Bhaav’, during the Amrit Kaal.

Further, MY Bharat provides an institutional mechanism to equip   students with problem solving skills, leadership skills through experiential learning opportunities and volunteer initiatives.

The events on youth volunteering activities, mega events, Experiential Learning Programs (ELPs), Financial Literacy Programmes, Mentorship Programmes etc. are also hosted through MY Bharat digital Platform. Photos-videos of the events are also uploaded by volunteers which can be accessed by all for awareness and benefit of society. Such provision encourages more and more youth to participate in these initiatives and get the benefits.

This information was given by Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.
