Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi launched the 'Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat)’ platform for the 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.

The country can register on the MY Bharat portal

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.
