The ‘Viksit Bharat Quiz’ is being organised through the MY Bharat Portal to engage young people across Assam and the country in understanding India’s achievements, heritage and development journey, while encouraging them to contribute their ideas towards building a developed India.

The quiz is being conducted as part of the 30th National Youth Festival–Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue (NYF–VBYLD–2027). The initiative seeks to provide young people in the age group of 15 to 29 years with an opportunity to participate in the nation-building process and foster leadership, innovation and creative thinking. The quiz is being conducted in 22 languages and will test participants’ general knowledge and understanding of India, including its heritage, achievements, development journey and various dimensions of the Viksit Bharat @2047 vision.

Under the Viksit Bharat Challenge Track, participants will progress through five stages based on their performance. Youth who perform well in the quiz will get an opportunity to advance to subsequent stages, where they will showcase their ideas, vision, innovations and solutions through essay writing and presentations. The Viksit Bharat Quiz is being conducted from 17 August to 30 September 2026. Successful participants will subsequently move to the Essay stage from 5 to 9 October, followed by the District Championship through presentations from 10 to 16 November. The State-level VBYLD presentation stage will be held from 17 November to 7 December 2026, leading to the National Dialogue scheduled from 10 to 12 January 2027.

The Challenge Track covers ten thematic areas, including Future Governance, Urban Transformation & Citizen Services; Climate Security, Borders & Sustainable Mountain Development; Demographic Dividend, Human Capital Development & Youth Development; Sustainable Industrialisation, Resource-led Growth & Promoting Sustainability; Act East, Cultural Leadership & Enhancing Connectivity; Manufacturing, Entrepreneurship & Green Growth; Tribal Leadership, Natural Resources & Inclusive Development; Innovation Economy, Tourism & Creative Industries; Technology, Innovation, Future Readiness & Creating Employability; and Blue Economy, Human Capital & Global Competitiveness.

The National Dialogue, scheduled from 10 to 12 January 2027, will be the culminating stage of the Challenge Track. Selected young leaders will get an opportunity to present their ideas, vision and suggestions relating to Viksit Bharat before the Hon’ble Prime Minister.

 

The National Youth Festival, organised annually since 1995 to commemorate the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda on 12 January, has served as a flagship platform for youth empowerment, leadership, national integration and cultural exchange. In 2025, in alignment with the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047, the National Youth Festival was restructured as the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue (VBYLD).
