• Proposed National Youth Policy (NYP) 2026 — successor to NYP 2014, drafted by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports to align youth development with Viksit Bharat 2047.
• Marks a shift from a broad guiding framework (NYP 2014, 11 priority areas) to a structured, outcome-oriented paradigm with six consolidated focus areas.
• Important for UPSC as it links demographic dividend, NEP 2020, Skill India, Fit India, and India's Amrit Kaal goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047.
