Millions of Indian youth unite for service and celebration: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will kick off the 27th National Youth Festival in Nashik, Maharashtra, addressing the nation’s young minds. In a unique twist, National Youth Day (January 12th) won’t be confined to one stage. Instead, youth across all 763 districts will join hands for a day of volunteerism, cultural showcasing, and learning.
MY Bharat volunteers at the forefront: Over 88,000 volunteers, registered through the MY Bharat platform, will spearhead activities:
- Road safety awareness: Trained volunteers, flagged off by dignitaries, will tackle traffic issues and spread awareness in cities and district headquarters.
- Empowering children and communities: Volunteers will visit Anganwadi centers for storytelling and share information about government schemes.
- Celebrating diversity and talent: Each district will host a mega program featuring floral tributes to Swami Vivekananda, cultural performances by Yuva Utsav winners, and stalls showcasing local initiatives.
A platform for engagement and opportunity: Partner ministries will set up stalls focusing on traffic awareness, nutrition, entrepreneurship, and more. The MY Bharat platform allows youth to find nearby activities, share their experiences, and connect with a nationwide network.
National Youth Day 2024 embodies the spirit of Swami Vivekananda: This expansive celebration underscores the government’s commitment to engaging and empowering India’s young demographic, the driving force behind the nation’s future. As millions of youth across the country unite to serve, learn, and showcase their talents, National Youth Day 2024 promises to be a vibrant and empowering experience for all.
