ZIRO, Jul 28: Helmed by Deputy Commissioner Oli Perme, alongside ZPC Hibu Dumi and District Youth Officer Shaffali Yadav, the Department of Youth Affairs convened a vital strategic meeting to accelerate the deployment and impact of the Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat) initiative across Lower Subansiri district.
Held at the district headquarters (Ziro), the meeting served as a comprehensive planning session to transition the legacy of the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) into the new, technology-driven MY Bharat framework active from 2023 onwards.
The DYO detailed the vision of MY Bharat as a premier ‘Phygital’ organisation—harmonizing physical, grassroots engagement with digital accessibility to provide equitable opportunities to the district’s youth.
During the session, the DYO provided an in-depth overview of the core features accessible to youth aged 15–29 through their MY Bharat Profile. Key initiatives highlighted included Experiential Learning Programs (ELP), Volunteer for Bharat modules, Mega Events, Leadership Builders, and creative engagement streams such as Quiz, Essay, and Podcast competitions.
Additionally, plans were shared for the upcoming ‘My Bharat Mentors’ feature, which will directly connect local youth with experienced professionals for career and personal guidance.
In a key governance outcome based on suggestions by DC Oli Perme, the meeting finalized the formation of the District My Bharat Advisory Council (DMBAC) to ensure multi-sectoral leadership and inter-departmental synergy. The advisory body, championed by DC Perme and ZPC Hibu Dumi, will formally include the Superintendent of Police (SP), District Agriculture Officer (DAO), District Health Officer (DHO), and local representatives from across Lower Subansiri district to guide youth-centric policies.
The meeting concluded with a unanimous pledge by all participating officials and local administration heads to drive district-wide enrollment on the MY Bharat portal, ensuring that every young citizen across Lower Subansiri can actively contribute to and benefit from this transformational national vision.
