India has the largest youth population in the world, with nearly 65% of its population below the age of 35. Recognising the immense potential of this demographic dividend, MY Bharat (Mera Yuva Bharat) was launched in October 2023 under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. The initiative aims to place youth at the centre of nation-building by providing opportunities for volunteering, skill development, leadership and civic participation.

Enabled by India's strong Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) under the broader Digital India initiative, the platform seamlessly connects millions of young Indians with learning and nation-building opportunities, ensuring greater inclusion, accessibility and participation across the country. Through this initiative, young citizens are being empowered to actively contribute towards the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047.
