The MY Bharat program has a new date for volunteers. Young people can now apply until August 27. MY Bharat is a government website for youth.

Public banks want to use this website too. They want to find young workers. This plan is called 'Banking for Youth'.

The banks want to reach Gen Z. Gen Z means young people born after 1996. Banks think MY Bharat can help them find these young people.

Many young people use the MY Bharat portal. A portal is a website with many services. The extra time will help more young people join.
