Yogi Cabinet Greenlights 22 Major Projects to Transform UP
CM Yogi Adityanath's cabinet approves 22 proposals covering healthcare for 10 lakh teachers, a massive textile park, and a robotics hub in UP.
In a sweeping move to accelerate development across the state, the Uttar Pradesh cabinet, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has approved 22 key proposals during its session on October 27, 2026. These decisions, which were passed unanimously, aim to overhaul critical sectors including healthcare, education, infrastructure, and high-tech industrialization.
Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna confirmed that the agenda items covered a diverse range of needs, from supporting animal husbandry to building cutting-edge technology hubs, signaling a comprehensive approach to the state's growth.
A Massive Healthcare Boost for Educators
One of the most significant outcomes of the cabinet meeting is the introduction of a cashless medical treatment facility. The government has approved coverage of up to 5 lakh rupees for employees of several educational institutions, including:
- Aided and unaided secondary schools
- Sanskrit schools
- Aided junior high schools under the Basic Education Council
This healthcare initiative is expected to be a game-changer for approximately 10 lakh teachers and staff members. More importantly, the coverage extends to their families, meaning nearly 50 lakh people will now have access to critical medical support without the immediate burden of out-of-pocket expenses.
Infrastructure and Urban Development in Prayagraj
The cabinet has also prioritized the living standards of judicial officials and the female workforce in Prayagraj. Financial approval has been granted for the construction of 845 residential units in Devghat-Jhalwa for Allahabad High Court officials. This housing project will consist of 533 Type-3 units and 312 Type-4 units.
Furthermore, to support women entering the professional workforce, the government has sanctioned the construction of a dedicated hostel for working women in Prayagraj, ensuring safer and more accessible accommodation.
Industrial Revolution: Textile Parks and Robotics
Uttar Pradesh is eyeing a massive leap in industrial capacity and employment. The cabinet has approved the selection process for a master developer to create a 1,000-acre textile park across the Lucknow-Hardoi region. Operating under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, this ambitious project is projected to:
- Attract significant large-scale investments.
- Create over 50,000 direct job opportunities for the local population.
Moving beyond traditional industry, the state is embracing the future with the establishment of PRAGATI (Park for Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, GPU Clusters and Advanced Technical Innovation). This robotics park is designed to position Uttar Pradesh as a leader in emerging technologies. Complementing this is the decision to set up a Cyber Security Operations Center (UP-COCS) at IIT Kanpur to fortify the state's digital security infrastructure.
Support for Animal Husbandry and Dairy
Recognizing the importance of the rural economy, the Yogi cabinet has introduced substantial measures for cattle owners and dairy farmers. The government has approved a grant of 50,000 rupees per cow and has committed to covering 85% of the costs for cattle insurance.
To further streamline and boost dairy production, the state will also form the State Live Mission, ensuring that the livestock sector remains sustainable and profitable for farmers across the region.
