UP's Great Transformation: Yogi Adityanath Hails Women's Power and State Growth
CM Yogi Adityanath details UP's transformation since 2017, highlighting women's empowerment, economic growth, and a zero-tolerance crime policy.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has detailed a sweeping transformation of Uttar Pradesh, asserting that the state has evolved from a region plagued by lawlessness into a hub of prosperity and celebration. In a recent post on X, the Chief Minister highlighted the pivotal role of Yogi Adityanath Uttar Pradesh development initiatives, focusing on women's empowerment, economic stability, and a revamped security apparatus since 2017.
The Power of Women in Progress
While seeking the blessings of Maa Siddhidatri during Navratri, CM Yogi emphasized that the women of Uttar Pradesh are now central to the state's trajectory of growth. He noted that through their self-confidence, resolve, and inherent capabilities, women are playing a decisive role in ensuring the state's prosperity.
Drawing upon the Sanskrit verse “Yatra naryastu pujyante ramante tatra devatah,” the Chief Minister underscored that the respect and dignity of women are fundamental prerequisites for the overall happiness and well-being of society.
From Chaos to Law and Order
The Chief Minister drew a sharp contrast between the current state of affairs and the period before 2017. He alleged that prior to the current BJP-led administration, public life and the safety of women were severely compromised by frequent riots, criminal activities, and a general state of lawlessness.
According to the CM, the "double-engine government," guided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, implemented a strict zero-tolerance policy toward crime. This shift, he claims, has successfully restored the rule of law and transitioned the state from a place of disturbance to one of celebration.
Economic Surge and Job Creation
The Chief Minister presented a series of economic indicators to illustrate the state's rapid ascent over the last nine and a half years:
- Financial Growth: The Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), per-capita income, and the state budget have all tripled.
- Investment: Uttar Pradesh has attracted investment proposals exceeding ₹50 lakh crore.
- Industrial Expansion: The number of large-scale factories has surged from 14,000 to 35,000.
- Employment: These investments have reportedly generated jobs for over 65 lakh youth, complemented by 9.5 lakh government recruitments.
- Entrepreneurship: The startup ecosystem has seen an explosion, growing from a mere 120 startups to more than 24,000.
Infrastructure and Agricultural Milestones
Beyond the economy, the Chief Minister pointed to massive strides in physical and rural infrastructure. He revealed that Uttar Pradesh now accounts for 60 per cent of the entire expressway network in India, significantly enhancing connectivity across the region.
In the agricultural sector, the state has seen a dramatic rise in its growth rate, which has jumped from 8 per cent to 18 per cent.
"The administration is working towards the vision of 'Empowered Women, Prosperous Uttar Pradesh' and a developed India alongside a developed Uttar Pradesh."
With these milestones, the state government reaffirms its commitment to continuing this trajectory of holistic development and empowerment.
