Young India

Shri A. Revanth Reddy
Chief Minister of Telangana

'Young India is my brand'

Chief Minister of Telangana Shri A. Revanth Reddy is scripting a bold new chapter for youth empowerment through the launch of the ‘Young India’ brand, a visionary initiative that integrates education, skills, and sports under one transformative mission.

Laying the foundation stone for the Young India Police School, Shri A. Revanth Reddy shared his vision stating that education is the focal point of TelanganaRising 2047.

“One of the key pillars in my vision for our state — #TelanganaRising — is education. We have to create great new institutions and improve the quality and standards of most of the existing institutions. We have to provide affordable education of world-class standards, which can serve as a role-model for the entire society.”

“Telangana will lead the nation in skilling. Young India Skills University will not just be a State asset — it will be India’s pride.”

“Uniformed personnel are often away for long hours and for days, unable to focus on their children’s education. The school, which is supported by the State government, will provide quality education to children of uniformed personnel, focusing not only on academics, technical skills, and sports, but even on creating conscientious citizens of the future.”

Skills for all… jobs for all:
Young India Skills University

At the heart of this movement is the Young India Skills University (YISU) which was established on October 11, 2024, and began operations on November 4, 2024. Envisioned as a national role model, this institution aims to produce a new generation of job-ready youth, equipped with globally relevant skills.

The government has already allotted 150 acres of land and earmarked Rs 100 crore for the project. YISU aims to —

  • Equip India’s youth with the skills and knowledge required for the evolving job market.
  • Provide high-quality, industry-integrated education.
  • Stay committed to nurturing talent, and fostering innovation.
  • Prepare students for dynamic career opportunities across sectors and fast-evolving global industries.
  • Ensure equal access to high-quality education for all.

The university offers 17 specialised courses in areas such as Logistics, Medical and Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, Banking, Financial services, Insurance (BFSI), and English and Soft Skills.

With a focus on innovation, inclusion, and employability, YISU is shaping a generation ready to lead in India and beyond.

As Telangana aims to become a skilling hub of India, YISU stands at the forefront – boosting youth employment, enhancing economic resilience, and creating opportunities at scale.

Shri A. Revanth Reddy has appealed to corporates to join hands in this mission and contribute to a corpus fund that ensures sustainable, industry-integrated skill training.

In a historic move, Telangana will also see the rollout of Young India Integrated Residential Schools in all 119 Assembly constituencies.

Young India Sports University

Taking the momentum forward, the government has announced plans to establish the Young India Sports University on 200 acres, with a massive investment of Rs. 1,000 crore.
