NEW DELHI: India has the largest youth population in the world with 65 per cent of it below the age of 35. With a vision to channelise the youth and their creative energies for nation-building, CNN-News18 in association with India's International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) has launched News18 Yuva Bharat.

Keeping youth at the core of its content strategy, CNN-News18 aims to sensitise and give voice to the next-gen to express themselves on issues of critical importance to them. Airing on weekends, News18 Yuva Bharat will serve as a platform which brings young achievers, aspirational entrepreneurs and newsmakers who are poised to become tomorrow’s leaders to the forefront, thereby enabling the nation to achieve its goal of becoming a superpower. From education, jobs and politics to social issues, deeper discussions into some of the most vital matters are focused to enable and craft a larger vision for Bharat in the future.

Hosted by CNN-News18 executive editor Anand Narasimhan, News18 Yuva Bharat will feature freewheeling conversations with young aspirants to address the unresolved questions in their minds. The show will telecast every weekend for a half-hour.
