The MoU was signed in the presence of Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister of Youth Affairs & Sports and Labour & Employment, and Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon'ble Union Minister for Railways, Information & Broadcasting and Electronics & Information Technology.

The event was also graced by S Krishnan, Secretary, MeitY; Dr. Pallavi Jain Govil, Secretary, Department of Youth Affairs (DoYA); and other senior officials from DoYA, MeitY and DIC.

Nitesh Kumar Mishra, Joint Secretary, DoYA and Nand Kumarum, MD & CEO, Digital India Corporation signed the MoU of the MY Bharat 2.0 platform.

Speaking on the occasion, Hon'ble Union Minister for Railways, Information & Broadcasting, and Electronics & Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw said "Today, as we build public digital platforms that transform lives, the idea behind MY Bharat is no different from what we have done with UPI, DigiLocker, or the Common Compute Facility. The objective is the same: scale with purpose, impact with speed."

Hon'ble Union Minister for Youth Affairs & Sports and Labour & Employment, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, expressed: "65% of India's population are youth-our greatest strength and our greatest opportunity."

Following the signing of the MoU, the MY Bharat platform will now undergo a comprehensive upgrade to evolve into MY Bharat 2.0. This enhanced version will introduce new features aimed at improving user experience, accessibility, and functionality. The platform will be completely rebuilt using a modular architecture approach to ensure scalability and flexibility. In addition, a fully functional mobile application for both Android and iOS will be developed.

Support functions such as a dedicated call centre, training modules, cloud services, MIS (Management Information System), and communication tools including email and SMS services will be established to strengthen the platform's backend infrastructure.

Speaking on the occasion, S. Krishnan, Secretary, MeitY, stated "Technology must be leveraged to build secure, scalable, and inclusive platforms for the youth."

Key AI-driven features will be introduced, including a Smart CV Builder, personalised Digital Profiles, and AI-powered chatbots. Speech-to-text capabilities, WhatsApp Integration and voice-assisted navigation will further improve usability and accessibility for all users.

Dr. Pallavi Jain Govil, Secretary, Department of Youth Affairs, stressed

"Our focus must be on value, aspiration, opportunity, learning, and community connection."

Integrated dashboards will allow event-organising institutions and educational bodies to analyse and monitor outcomes effectively. Location intelligence and geo-tagging tools will help youth discover nearby opportunities based on geography or interest. Additionally, interactive learning modules and quizzes will be included to increase engagement and foster continuous learning.

MY Bharat 2.0 will also offer seamless integration with national digital platforms such as Aadhaar, DigiLocker, Bhashini, and MyGov, ensuring interoperability and a unified user experience. The upgraded portal will comply with the latest data protection and privacy norms, ensuring a secure and trustworthy digital environment for all users.

Nand Kumarum, MD & CEO, Digital India Corporation, voiced:

"This partnership is a model for how digital governance can empower future generations."

Further, the enhanced version of the platform will include dedicated sections for National Career Services, a Mentorship Hub, and a Fit India section to promote career growth, personal development, and health and wellness among youth. These integrations will help realise the vision of MY Bharat as a comprehensive one-stop digital gateway for youth engagement and empowerment.

The upgradation marks a strategic fusion of technology, governance, and youth energy, aiming to transform India's demographic dividend into a developmental dividend. MY Bharat 2.0 is set to play a crucial role in harnessing the potential of the Amrit Peedhi and advancing the vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047.
