Register Online for Unnat Bharat Abhiyan | UBA Scheme Portal: The official Unnat Bharat Abhiyan portal for the UBA scheme is now active at unnatbharatabhiyan.gov.in. The Ministry of Education (formerly MHRD) introduced two phases of this initiative: the original Unnat Bharat Abhiyan and the upgraded Unnat Bharat Abhiyan 2.0. Under this government program, college and university students visit rural communities to better understand village life. These students act as catalysts for development, helping to empower rural citizens and contribute to national progress. This central government initiative offers students a unique opportunity to explore the realities of rural India.
The core goal of the UBA Yojana is to sensitize students to the daily challenges faced by villagers and help them devise practical solutions. Participants are encouraged to address issues involving healthcare, sanitation, waste management, tree planting, financial literacy, and child and women's welfare.
To ensure the success of this campaign, students must engage with local residents at every stage to foster Jan Bhagidari (people's participation). The central government has released an updated handbook for Unnat Bharat Abhiyan 2.0, which serves as an advanced version of the previous iteration.
