The record was achieved through the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders’ Dialogue (VBYLD) Quiz, a nationwide initiative designed to increase awareness and participation among young people in the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047.
Massive Youth Participation Across India
Conducted through the MY Bharat portal, the VBYLD Quiz attracted participation from more than 50.42 lakh young people representing all 28 states and 8 Union Territories.
