Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat) Portal surpasses 1.45 Crore Youth registrations in three months
The Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat) portal has reached a historic milestone with over 1.45 crore registrations as on 31.01.2024. This has been possible due to the user friendly interface that allows registration to be completed within a few minutes. The portal is already having an impact on mobilizing the nation’s youth towards constructive and transformative endeavors.
The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi launched ‘Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat)’ platform for youth of the country on National Unity Day, i.e., on October 31st 2023 at Kartavya Path, New Delhi. The MY Bharat portal is envisioned as a pivotal, technology-driven facilitator for youth development and youth-led development, with the overarching goal of providing equitable opportunities to empower the youth in realizing their aspirations and contributing to the creation of a “Viksit Bharat” (developed India). It is a ‘Phygital Platform’ (physical + digital) comprising physical activity along with an opportunity to connect digitally. The fusion of physical activities and digital connectivity reflects the modern, dynamic nature of the platform.
Youth across the country can register on the MY Bharat portal (https://www.mybharat.gov.in/) and sign up for various opportunities and events available on the portal. MY Bharat has rapidly emerged as a pivotal tool for youth development, offering a diverse array of opportunities, events and volunteering activities with Police, Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and various Ministries. On National Youth Day, 12th January 2024, over 1 lakh volunteers worked with traffic police pan-India to assist in greater road safety for commuters and better traffic management.
Talking about the success of MY Bharat, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, talking to NCC and NSS Volunteers on 27th January 2024 talked about the overwhelming response to the MY Bharat portal within such a short span. He said that this is the largest platform for the twenty first century youth of Bharat, highlighting the platform’s swift and impactful outreach.
Looking ahead, MY Bharat aims to introduce new features and initiatives to further enhance its impact. The platform is keen on expanding its offerings in emerging sectors, and deepening its engagement with educational institutions and youth organizations. As it continues to evolve, MY Bharat remains committed to its mission of providing equitable opportunities and promoting a culture of continuous learning among the youth. Mera Yuva Bharat aims to enhance efficiency by converging existing programs, making the most of available resources and expertise. It is not just an organization, it’s a vision for India to be ‘Viksit Bharat’ by the year 2047.
