National Youth Festival Restructured to Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue
What Happened
In January 2025, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports restructured the traditional National Youth Festival into the 'Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue'. The event transitions from a cultural celebration to a merit-based, dialogue-driven forum.
Why It Matters
It shifts the government's youth engagement strategy from cultural participation to active policy contribution, allowing young Indians to directly pitch ideas for national development.
