PM-YUVA 3.0 Results: 43 Young Authors Selected
The PM-YUVA 3.0 scheme has chosen 43 young authors from all over India to write books in 22 different languages and English.
These authors are under 30 years old, and 19 of them are women.
They will get to work with famous scholars for six months and receive money to help them write their books.
The books will be about important topics like history, culture, and how India is connected to the world.
Next year, these books will be published, and the authors will meet at a big book fair in New Delhi.
The goal is to help new writers share Indian stories and ideas with everyone.
43 young authors selected under PM-YUVA 3.0 across 22 Indian languages and English.
Selected authors will receive a six-month mentorship from eminent scholars.
Each author will get a scholarship of Rs 50,000 per month and a 10% lifetime royalty on their published book.
Themes include the contribution of the Indian Diaspora, Indian Knowledge System, and Makers of Modern India (1950–2025).
A National Camp for selected authors will be held during the New Delhi World Book Fair in January 2026.
