PM Mentoring YUVA Scheme 3.0

PM YUVA 3.0 builds on the success of the earlier editions, YUVA 1.0 and YUVA 2.0. The scheme invites applications from aspiring writers through the MyGov India online portal. A competitive process shortlists young authors based on a well-defined evaluation criterion, and the National Book Trust constitutes the selection committee.

Applicants are required to submit a book proposal of 10,000 words, which is then reviewed by a panel. The shortlisted candidates go through a multi-stage selection process before the final selection. Selected authors receive a six-month mentorship programme with workshops, interaction with mentors and exposure to India's literary ecosystem.

Each selected author receives a scholarship of ₹50,000 per month for six months, which comes to ₹3 lakh in total. A lifetime royalty of 10 per cent is also payable on the published books. The books are published and promoted by the National Book Trust in multiple Indian languages.

Themes of YUVA 3.0

The themes of PM YUVA 3.0 are designed to cover India's past, present and future. The scheme helps develop a stream of writers who can write on different facets of India and present a complete outlook of the contribution of Indians across fields.

  • Contribution of Indian Diaspora in Nation Building: This theme looks at how the Indian diaspora, spread across around 200 countries, has contributed to nation building in political, economic and socio-cultural fields.
  • Indian Knowledge System: This theme covers India's rich knowledge in fields like mathematics, philosophy, arts, culture, architecture, astronomy, yoga and Ayurveda.
  • Makers of Modern India (1950-2025): This theme focuses on the leaders, scientists, reformers and visionaries who shaped modern India after independence.

Eligibility for YUVA 3.0

The scheme is open to Indian nationals, including those holding PIO cards or NRIs holding Indian passports. The maximum age of the contestant should be exactly 30 years or below as on 11 March 2025. There is no minimum age prescribed.

Applicants who were in the final list of selected authors of PM YUVA 1.0 and PM YUVA 2.0 are not eligible for YUVA 3.0. Only one entry per contestant is allowed, and the genre of the entry should be non-fiction only. Poetry and fiction are not accepted.

Selection Process

A total of 50 authors were to be selected under YUVA 3.0, with 10 authors for the Indian Diaspora theme and 20 each for the Indian Knowledge System and Makers of Modern India themes. The selection is made by a committee constituted by the National Book Trust.

The contest ran from 11 March to 10 June 2025, and submissions were accepted through MyGov only till 11:59 PM on 10 June 2025. The book proposal had to include a synopsis of 2000 to 3000 words, a chapter plan, two to three sample chapters of 7000 to 8000 words, and a bibliography.

YUVA 3.0 Results

The results of PM YUVA 3.0 were announced in December 2025 by the National Book Trust. Book proposals by 43 young authors below the age of 30 years were selected through an All India contest in 22 official Indian languages and English. Of the 43 selected authors, 19 are women and 24 are men.

A National Camp of the selected authors was organised during the New Delhi World Book Fair held from 10 to 18 January 2026. The first set of books under PM YUVA 3.0 is expected to be published in 2026, with the aim of nurturing a new generation of writers to represent Indian literature and thought in India and abroad.

Earlier Editions of the Scheme

The first edition, YUVA 1.0, was launched on 31 May 2021 as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations. The theme was National Movement of India, and 75 young authors were selected. The results were announced on 25 December 2021. Each selected author received a scholarship of ₹50,000 per month for six months and a royalty of 10 per cent on the published books.

YUVA 2.0 was launched in October 2022 with the theme of Democracy, covering institutions, events, people and constitutional values. It built on the foundation of YUVA 1.0 and helped young writers engage with India's democratic values, traditions and governance structures. The Union Minister for Education launched 41 new books under the PM YUVA 2.0 scheme at the New Delhi World Book Fair in February 2025.

Need for PM Mentoring YUVA Scheme

The National Education Policy 2020 lays emphasis on helping young minds and creating a learning ecosystem that can prepare young learners for future leadership roles. India is considered a young country because 66 per cent of its total population is young and can be tapped for capacity and nation building.

India is ranked third in the field of book publishing and has a wealth of indigenous literature. The scheme helps project this literature at the global stage and brings reading and authorship as a preferred profession at par with other job options. It also supports the vision of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat and helps establish India as a Vishwa Guru.
