Aim of the Programme

The programme will aid in the growth of a pool of authors capable of exploring the many dimensions of Indian democracy. The programme would also give young people who want to be leaders a chance to express themselves and offer a thorough understanding of democratic values in India on both domestic and international stages.

The inauguration of YUVA 2.0 (Young, Upcoming and Versatile Authors) is in line with the Prime Minister's objective to inspire young people to understand and value India's democracy, mentioned the Ministry of Education's official statement. As a part of the India @75 Project (Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav), YUVA 2.0 seeks to creatively and innovatively highlight the perspectives of the younger generation of writers on the THEME: "Democracy (institutions, events, people, constitutional principles - past, present, future)". Thus, this programme will aid in creating a pool of authors who are capable of writing on a variety of topics to further Indian heritage, culture, and the body of knowledge.
