Union Minister Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya launched the MY Bharat Mobile Application in New Delhi on 1 October 2025. This move enhances accessibility of the MY Bharat platform—an online youth leadership and social engagement portal—by bringing key services and opportunities to the fingertips of India’s young citizens. The app complements the existing platform, making it easier for youth to participate via phones, especially in remote and rural areas.
Key Features of the MY Bharat Mobile App

- Multilingual support: Initially in Hindi and English, with plans to add more Indian languages for inclusivity.
