New Delhi: MY Bharat record earned Guinness World Records recognition after 390,812 participants successfully completed an online quiz within one week, Union Youth Affairs and Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya announced on Wednesday.
The recognition came under the category of “Most Users to Take an Online Quiz in One Week.” Guinness World Records officials presented the certificate at a ceremony held at Shram Shakti Bhawan in New Delhi.
Mandaviya said the achievement belonged to the youth of India and reflected their trust in the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047. He added that MY Bharat had emerged as a platform that enabled young people to contribute ideas and participate in nation-building.
The record was achieved through the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders’ Dialogue Quiz. The initiative aimed to increase awareness and participation among youth regarding India’s long-term development goals.
