India, Aug. 13 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
Amrit Peedhi for Viksit Bharat@2047
India is home to one of the world's largest youth populations, with nearly 65 percent of its citizens below the age of 35. Over the years, the Government has expanded investment across education, skilling, employment, entrepreneurship, sports, health, and civic participation to convert this demographic advantage into a development dividend. Together, these efforts are enabling the Amrit Peedhi to shape Viksit Bharat @ 2047.
MY Bharat: A Platform for Youth-Led Development
At the centre of this vision is Mera Yuva Bharat, launched in October 2023 for youth aged 15-29. The technology-enabled platform brings volunteering, experiential learning, leadership, skilling, career support and civic participation into a single nationwide ecosystem.
Digital Engagement and Civic Participation
Education: Access, Quality and Future-Readiness
The education ecosystem has expanded while becoming more flexible, digital and innovation-driven. National Education Policy 2020 places the learner at the centre and links schooling, higher education, skills and employability.
Higher Education and Innovation
Flexible Learning and Digital Access
Skilling and Employability
The Government has empowered over 6 crore people through its skilling initiatives. Skill India Mission has shifted training from basic certification towards a demand-led model connected with industry, apprenticeships, digital platforms, and emerging technologies.
Sports and Fitness
India has built a structured sports pathway that begins with local talent identification and extends to high-performance support. Sport is increasingly seen as a viable career, backed by coaching, infrastructure, scientific training and competition exposure.
Health and Well-being
Youth empowerment depends on physical, mental, and preventive healthcare. Government programmes have expanded adolescent-friendly services, mental-health counselling, substance-abuse awareness, and access to comprehensive primary care.
A Decade of Transformation
Twelve years of sustained, multi-sectoral investment have produced a measurable transformation in India's youth. More young Indians are staying in education, acquiring industry-relevant skills, entering formal employment, creating businesses, participating in community life, and competing at the highest levels of sport.
The shift has been from access to opportunity, from participation to leadership, and from youth as beneficiaries to youth as co-creators. Policy, institutions, and digital platforms have laid a strong foundation; the Amrit Peedhi is carrying it forward towards Viksit Bharat @ 2047.
