India stands at the cusp of a demographic advantage, with its youth brimming with dynamic potential. Youth today are fresh, vibrant, aspirational, and deeply connected to a fast-evolving world. As young citizens navigate an increasingly interconnected global landscape, the Department of Youth Affairs envisions a nurturing and inclusive ecosystem- one that empowers and supports youth to explore their full potential across all spheres of life, beyond the bounds of age or background.
The Department’s mission remains anchored in the twin objectives of personality development and nation-building. Through dynamic programs, the Department aims to channel youth’s creative, academic, cultural, and community energies into purposeful action- thus, fostering disciplined service, civic innovation and leadership rooted in social responsibility.
As the world evolves through rapid technological advancements, so too must our approaches. Initiatives like MY Bharat are reimagining youth engagement- fusing tradition with innovation, and experience with opportunity. With firm belief in the boundless potential of our young citizens, the Department remains committed to expanding pathways, integrating technology, and creating meaningful opportunities for collaboration and leadership.
As we step deeper into Kartavya Kaal, it is the realisation of collective moment of responsibility that will propel us towards the vision of a Viksit Bharat- a developed nation rooted in equity, excellence and shared progress. The limitless possibilities of youth are not only India’s strength- they are the foundation on which the future is being built
