Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath addressed the News18 India Conclave in Gorakhpur, highlighting the rapid economic growth and development of Eastern Uttar Pradesh over the past nine years. He emphasized that the youth of the region are talented and hardworking, and when provided opportunities, they have proven their capabilities. Over the period, the state's economy has tripled, and per capita income has increased more than three times.
CM Yogi expressed confidence that within the next three years, Uttar Pradesh will move towards becoming a one trillion-dollar economy. He pointed out that the fault for not fostering development earlier lay with the system that failed to utilize the youth's potential, rather than the youth themselves. The Chief Minister also discussed the positive impact of the government's initiatives, stating that the neglect during the period of slavery has been acknowledged, but after Independence, there was no such issue regarding Eastern Uttar Pradesh's development.
He mentioned that the state's large youth population, constituting around 56-60 percent of the population, is talented and energetic, and the government is working on connecting them with quality education, skill development, employment, and self-employment opportunities. He highlighted the establishment of skill development centers, upgrading of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) with modern technology, and the introduction of courses in Artificial Intelligence, Drone Technology, Space Technology, Robotics, 3D Printing, and Internet of Things (IoT).
CM Yogi also emphasized the reduction in youth migration for employment, noting that this has positively affected industries in other states, making Uttar Pradesh more attractive for entrepreneurs. He further noted significant improvements in basic education, with a reduction in school dropout rates and the provision of essential facilities such as separate toilets, drinking water, digital libraries, smart classes, and better infrastructure.
