In a significant move to empower the youth and shape the nation’s future, Startup India has partnered with MY Bharat, an initiative dedicated to harnessing the potential of India’s younger generation. This collaboration is set to play a crucial role in India’s journey towards building Amrit Bharat by 2047.
Empowering India’s Youth
India’s youth are at the forefront of this transformation, and their active participation is essential to achieving the vision of Amrit Bharat. Recognizing this, MY Bharat aims to create opportunities and avenues that improve young people’s capabilities and connect them with community activities. The initiative seeks to foster a sense of responsibility, leadership, and innovation among the youth.
MY Bharat Reaches a Historic Milestone
The Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat) portal, launched by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on National Unity Day, 31st October 2023, at Kartavya Path, New Delhi, has rapidly become a pivotal tool for youth development. As of 31st January 2024, the portal has achieved a historic milestone with over 1.45 crore registrations. This remarkable achievement can be attributed to the portal’s user-friendly interface, which allows for quick and easy registration.
The MY Bharat portal, envisioned as a technology-driven facilitator for youth development, combines physical activities with digital connectivity, reflecting the modern and dynamic nature of the platform. It offers 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 across India to assist in road safety and traffic management.
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, speaking to NCC and NSS Volunteers on 27th January 2024, highlighted the overwhelming response to the MY Bharat portal, describing it as the largest platform for the twenty-first-century youth of Bharat. The platform’s swift and impactful outreach is a testament to its relevance and effectiveness.
A Strategic Partnership
By joining forces with MY Bharat, Startup India is poised to extend its support to a broader spectrum of young Indians, enabling them to pursue entrepreneurial ventures that align with national goals.
This partnership is designed to provide India’s youth with the resources, mentorship, and networks they need to succeed. It will also ensure that young entrepreneurs have access to a platform where their innovative ideas can be nurtured and transformed into impactful solutions.
Through this partnership, both organizations are committed to nurturing a generation of young leaders who will steer India towards becoming a global leader in innovation, entrepreneurship, and social development.
India’s journey to Amrit Bharat by 2047 is not just a government initiative but a collective effort that involves every young citizen. With the combined forces of Startup India and MY Bharat, the youth of India are set to play a pivotal role in this monumental journey, shaping a brighter and more prosperous future for the nation.
