MP to observe 2027 as Year of Youth, says CM Mohan Yadav
Indore, July 11
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Saturday said the state government is committed to supporting young people and announced that 2027 would be observed as the Year of Youth.
Addressing the 'My Youth-My Pride Conclave-2026' in Indore, Yadav said India is the world's youngest country and Madhya Pradesh has a large youth population.
CM Yadav said the government is working to create opportunities for young people.
"The Madhya Pradesh government is ready to provide every possible support for the future and dreams of our youth. They should make the best use of the opportunities available to them," the Chief Minister said.
During the programme, youth representatives presented Chief Minister Mohan Yadav with a draft of the 'Youth Resolution Document' for a developed Madhya Pradesh. He also flagged off a bicycle rally.
The Chief Minister said the government is providing financial assistance to youth for setting up homestays and making education loans easily available for medical studies. He added that industries creating employment are being given government support of Rs 5,000 per worker.
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav also highlighted the Rahveer Yojana, under which people helping road accident victims receive Rs 25,000, and said the PM Shri Air Ambulance service is being provided to poor and needy people during medical emergencies.
Referring to freedom fighters Chandrashekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh and Madan Lal Dhingra, the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister urged young people to contribute to the country's development.
"The year 2027 will be dedicated to the youth. Their participation is important for building a better future, and every elected government should work according to the aspirations of the people," Yadav said.
Principal Secretary, Industries, Raghvendra Singh, said the conclave gave young people an opportunity to share their suggestions on education, skill development, sports, healthcare, innovation and natural farming.

Finally someone talking about youth aspirations! The Rahveer Yojana for accident victims is brilliant - we need more such citizen-friendly schemes. But please focus on quality education first, not just loans. Our youth need skills that match industry requirements. 👏
As someone from Indore, I appreciate the sentiment. But talk is cheap - show us results. The bicycle rally and conclave are photo ops. Where is the roadmap for 2027? What measurable targets? Our youth need jobs, not just declarations. Still, glad he mentioned Bhagat Singh and Azad - inspiration matters.
This is good news for MP's youth. The homestay financial assistance and medical education loan initiatives are practical steps. But what about rural youth who can't attend such conclaves? Need to take these schemes to villages. Also, air ambulance is great for emergencies - hope it reaches remote areas quickly. 🇮🇳
Dedicated year for youth sounds progressive. But I'm skeptical - every government announces such things. Remember 'Year of the Youth' in 2010? Nothing much changed. CM sahab should focus on ground-level implementation of existing schemes first. The draft resolution looks promising but execution is key. 😕
Love that they're including suggestions on natural farming and innovation! MP has huge potential in agri-tech and sustainable tourism. The PM Shri Air Ambulance is a lifesaver for poor families. Hope the Youth Resolution Document actually gets implemented and not just filed away. Young people are watching! 🌱
