MY Bharat Launches Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue (VBYLD) 2027 in Maharashtra

The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, through MY Bharat, has launched the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue (VBYLD) 2027 in Maharashtra. Restructured from the National Youth Festival to mark the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, VBYLD 2027 invites youth aged 15–29 years to participate in a multi-stage, merit-based process spanning digital quizzes, essays, district championships, and state editions. Maharashtra falls under the Konkan – Financial & Creative Economy Region (along with Goa), focusing on innovation, tourism, and creative industries. Selected youth will advance to the national dialogue at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, to present solutions contributing to the Viksit Bharat @2047 vision.
