Youthinfo India is a portal that provides exhaustive data on the young people of India. It supports the idea that the youth of India have special needs which need to be served by programmes and policies that are especially designed for them. Youth comprise around 19% of India’s population (Census 2011). This can be a tremendous advantage for the country if the young get the opportunities they need in terms of education, skill-building, jobs, health and family planning services, among other things, to maximize their life’s potential. There is evidence to suggest that various aspects of young people’s lives need attention. One in two young women marry before they are 18, and around 16% of them have a child or are pregnant before they turn 19. Young couple needs reproductive health and family planning services to ensure that pregnancies are planned and wanted. Young people should be seen as a unique group whose issues need to be understood and addressed. This portal is aimed at drawing the attention of policy-makers, media, researchers, interested individuals and, of course, youth themselves towards the diverse aspects of their lives.
