Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced that 2027 will be celebrated as the 'Year of Youth' in Madhya Pradesh. Key initiatives include opening 12 new medical colleges (one every month), establishing 12 new universities, conducting MPPSC exams twice a year, and creating a Rs 5 crore state-level idea fund to promote youth startup ideas.
Madhya Pradesh is amending its admission rules to reserve 30 percent of private medical college seats for the management quota while keeping a 15 percent NRI quota. To stop misuse, the NRI quota eligibility has been tightened following Supreme Court guidelines, requiring candidates to prove that the NRI sponsor is a parent, sibling, or closely related legal guardian via proper documentation.
In addition to linking one lakh youth to skill upgradation schemes and launching an idea fund, the state is building AI and Knowledge Cities in Bhopal and a Science City in Ujjain. The state will also organize the Global Investors Summit in 2027, construct working women hostels in every division, and provide startup grants of up to Rs 5 lakh for youth.
