What to Bring to the Yuva Sathi Camp
Before heading out, make sure you have all the necessary paperwork ready. Missing a document could force you to make a second trip, so double-check this list, and download the Yuva Sathi Application Form PDF beforehand if needed.
- Original Documents: Bring your Aadhaar card, Madhyamik (Class 10) certificate, and your active Bank passbook.
- Self-attested Photocopies: Prepare at least 2 photocopies of every document mentioned above and sign them.
- Photographs: Carry 2 recent passport-size photos (standard 35mm × 45mm size).
- Arrival Timing: It's best to arrive between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Avoid going in the final hour when camps get extremely crowded.
- Acknowledgement Receipt: Once you submit your application, the officer will give you an acknowledgement slip. Keep this safe! You will need it later to do your Yuva Sathi Status Check.
