What the PM Asked the Youth to Do
In a message shared on his official X account, the Prime Minister encouraged India’s youth to register for the Dialogue and to attempt the MyBharat quiz as the first step in participation. He said the ideas and insights of young Indians can chart pathways to a developed nation and urged them to make their voices heard through the Dialogue platform.
The quiz—hosted on the government’s MyBharat portal—serves as an entry point, designed to engage participants with themes around governance, innovation, skill development and public service. According to official guidance, responses will feed into broader consultations that inform sessions and interactions under the Young Leaders Dialogue programme.
Why the Dialogue Matters
Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2.0 aims to be more than a talk shop. It seeks actionable inputs from youth on policy, technology, education, entrepreneurship and social inclusion. Stakeholders from government, academia and industry will review ideas gathered through the Dialogue, offering a potential route for innovative youth-led solutions to influence policymaking and implementation.
By channeling youth energy into structured consultation, the initiative aims to foster leadership skills and civic engagement, while helping the government identify priorities that resonate with younger demographics.
How to Participate
Interested participants should visit the MyBharat quiz page to register and complete the short, thematic quiz. The quiz is designed to be accessible and thought-provoking; it aims to capture opinions and priorities rather than test rote knowledge. Successful participants may be invited to further rounds of interaction, virtual dialogues, and regional events linked to the Young Leaders Dialogue calendar.
Voices of Youth and Experts
Young leaders and student organisations welcomed the call, saying such platforms help connect grassroots ideas with national strategy. Educators noted that structured national dialogues encourage critical thinking, while industry representatives highlighted the potential for the programme to surface talent and ideas relevant for entrepreneurship, the start-up ecosystem and skill-building initiatives.
Experts advise participants to frame suggestions that are practical, scalable and sensitive to regional diversity, so that ideas can be tested and piloted at state or district levels before being scaled nationally.
Outcomes to Expect
While the Dialogue is consultative in nature, organisers expect the process to generate policy briefs, pilot project proposals and youth-led proposals for public-private partnerships. Selected participants may be invited for deeper engagement, mentorship and incubation support depending on the merit and feasibility of their ideas.
The initiative also aligns with broader government efforts to institutionalise youth participation in governance and to build leadership pipelines for India’s journey towards Viksit Bharat 2047.
