The Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2026 (VBYLD-2026) State Championship is currently happening at Kalinga Stadium, Bhubaneswar (as of Dec 12, 2025), with over 500 shortlisted youth competing in an in-person event after online quizzes and essays to present ideas for India's 2047 vision.

This event, part of a larger four-stage national competition organized by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports via the MY Bharat platform, aims to empower young leaders (ages 15-29) to contribute to nation-building, with winners potentially meeting the Prime Minister at the National Youth Festival in January 2026.
