Inspiring Interaction with ISRO Astronauts launches Day 3 of Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2026
- VBYLD 2026 is the 2nd edition of the Government of India's flagship youth-engagement platform, held 9–12 January 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, organised by the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports (MoYAS).
- Day 3 (11 Jan 2026) was anchored by an interaction with Gaganyaan astronaut-designates Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla and Group Captain Prasanth Nair, linking youth aspirations with India's human spaceflight programme.
- Aspirants must connect this with Amrit Peedhi, Viksit Bharat @2047, National Youth Day (12 Jan – Swami Vivekananda's birth anniversary), and Gaganyaan — all high-probability Prelims/Mains hooks.
