Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat), the flagship youth engagement platform of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, was awarded the Guinness World Records certificate for the “Most Users to Take an Online Quiz in One Week” with 390,812 participants, said an official on Thursday.
The Certificate was presented to My Bharat by Guinness World Records Adjudicator Rishinath at a ceremony held on Thursday at Shram Shakti Bhawan, New Delhi, in the presence of Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Mansukh Mandaviya.
The recognition was conferred for the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders’ Dialogue (VBYLD) Quiz, a nationwide youth engagement initiative aimed at strengthening awareness and participation among young citizens in the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047, said a statement.
During the official Guinness World Records assessment period from October 25 to October 31, 2025, more than 8.39 lakh quiz participations were recorded on the platform, it said.

Conducted through the MY Bharat portal, the quiz attracted over 50.42 lakh youth from all 28 States and 8 Union Territories, making it one of the largest digital youth engagement exercises undertaken in the country.
Mandaviya congratulated MY Bharat and the entire team on this remarkable achievement, saying that the portal is catering to the aspirations of India’s youth who constitute nearly 65 per cent of the country’s population below the age of 35 years.
He stated that the trust young people place in the portal is evident from the fact that, in just three years, MY Bharat has recorded 2.19 crore registrations.
