Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will address Khelo India Dialogue on 27th August at 11 AM via video conferencing. The programme aims to help the youth engage with India's sporting journey, share their aspirations, and contribute ideas for a stronger youth-led Viksit Bharat.
Organised by Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat), as part of the National Sports Day 2026 celebrations, the programme will be conducted across the country with participation of youth at two colleges in every district across States and Union Territories. The programme is being held in line with the Prime Minister's vision of building a fit, disciplined and sporting nation while placing the aspirations of youth at the centre of the national development agenda.
The nationwide Khelo India Dialogue will bring together sports, youth leadership, civic responsibility, volunteering, fitness and nation-building on a common platform. It will provide a direct channel for young people to engage with the country's sporting ambitions, while ensuring that their ideas and perspectives become part of the continuing conversation on India's youth and sports ecosystem.
The national programme will be followed by local interactions involving young participants, MY Bharat volunteers, local sportspersons and public representatives. A major feature of the initiative will be direct interaction between youth having interest in sports and leading Indian athletes and medal winners. A central feature of the programme will be Yuva Samvaad where Young participants will be invited to articulate their own ideas, perspectives and aspirations. The dialogue will be structured around five themes:
- improving India's sports ecosystem through better facilities, coaching, sports science and inclusive participation;
- nurturing talent for the 2036 Olympics via scientific talent identification, transparent selection and long-term athlete development;
- creating youth leaders through governance platforms and MY Bharat-led volunteering;
- empowering youth for Viksit Bharat by building civic mindedness, future-ready skills and structured volunteering;
- promoting a Nasha Mukt Yuva movement that leverages sport and peer networks to fight substance abuse, reinforced by weekly Jan Bhagidari activities under PM's 100-week nationwide campaign launched on 2 August 2026.
