  • In light of the last edition’s enormous effect, which includes broad participation from young and aspiring authors in 22 more Indian languages in addition to English, YUVA 2.0 is now being produced.

  • 75 authors will be chosen as part of an All India Contest that will be held on https://www.mygov.in/ between October 2 and November 30, 2022.
  • The received ideas would be assessed between December 1, 2022, and January 31, 2023, with the winners being revealed on February 28, 2023.
  • The young authors will receive instruction from renowned authors and mentors from March 1 through August 31, 2023.

YUVA 2.0 programme : Execution

As the implementing agency, the National Book Trust of India (under the BP Division of the Ministry of Education) will see to it that the Scheme is carried out under clear-cut phases of mentoring.
