Need:
• Role of Youth in Amrit Kaal: India’s youth are to play a critical role in defining the future of the nation, especially at the pivotal juncture of India’s 75 years of independence, as the country embarks on a paradigm-shifting development journey over the next 25 years of building an Amrit Bharat by 2047.
• Inclusion of All Youth: Vision 2047 requires a framework that can bring rural youth, urban youth, and Rurban youth under a single platform. MY Bharat aims to create such a framework.
