Cabinet Approves Creation Of ‘Mera Yuva Bharat’ Platform To Ensure Youth-Led Development

New Delhi: The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved the establishment of an autonomous body — ‘Mera Yuva Bharat’ (MY Bharat) — to serve as an overarching enabling mechanism to ensure youth-led development, Union minister Anurag Thakur said.

The body will be dedicated to the nation on the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on October 31. It will provide equitable access to youths to actualise their aspirations and build a developed India by utilising their energy, he said.

Briefing reporters on the decisions taken by the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Thakur said the primary objective of ‘Mera Yuva Bharat’ (MY Bharat) is to make it a “whole of government” platform for youth development.
