What is Viksit Bharat Ambassador?
Viksit Bharat Ambassador Programme is a youth outreach and citizen engagement initiative launched by the Government of India under the Viksit Bharat @2047 vision — India's ambitious goal of becoming a developed nation by its 100th year of independence. The programme officially launched its Sampark (Connect) activities in 2023-24, with large-scale ambassador registrations across colleges and institutions in 2024-25. Student Ambassadors: College students, university graduates, and young professionals (18-35 years) volunteer as Viksit Bharat Ambassadors at their institution, spreading awareness about government flagship schemes in their community. Activities include: conducting Viksit Bharat Surveys (digital feedback forms on government policies), sharing scheme information via WhatsApp/social media, organising gram sabha awareness sessions, and mobilising beneficiaries to apply for 9+ flagship schemes. My Bharat Platform: The programme runs through 'My Bharat' digital platform (mybharat.gov.in) — a national youth digital platform connecting 1 crore+ young volunteers with government programmes. Volunteers earn experience certificates, skill badges, and in some cases internship opportunities at government departments. Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra: The massive outreach campaign (December 2023–February 2024) covered 2.55 lakh gram panchayats across India using van campaigns, connecting 10 crore+ citizens with 9 flagship schemes.
