Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday announced the launch of ‘Mera Yuv Bharat’, a new autonomous body for youth and youth-led development, on the occasion of Sardar Ballabhai Patel’s birth anniversary on October 31. Highlighting how the youth can play an active role in nation building through this platform, Modi appealed to the youth to register on MYBharat.Gov.in.
Addressing the nation in the 106th episode of his flagship monthly radio program ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on Sunday, the Prime Minister said that the foundation of a nationwide ‘Mera Yuv Bharat’ platform is being laid on October 31, the birth anniversary of Sardar Patel. It will provide opportunities to the youth to play an active role in various nation building programs.
It is a unique effort to bring together the youth of India to build a developed India. Mentioning that youth between the ages of 15 and 29 can take advantage of this platform, the Union Cabinet announced less than a fortnight ago that the government will set up a platform to develop leadership skills among the youth so that they can become social innovators and community leaders. Recalling Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s birth anniversary on October 31, Modi paid her “heartfelt tributes”. Before Diwali, Prime Minister Modi reiterated his call to be a ‘Vocal for Locals’. Together we will fulfill the dream of a self-reliant India,” he said.
