The initiative will be implemented by the Department of Youth Empowerment and Sports, with support from the Departments of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, Urban Development, Revenue and Education, he added.
Noting that each Sangha will receive an annual grant of Rs 10 lakh, the Deputy CM said one trainer from every Sangha would be provided an annual honorarium of Rs 24,000.
"Through the Bharat Jodo Yuva Sanghas, our objective is to nurture leadership qualities among the youth, empower them and shape them into responsible citizens," he added. PTI
