Lucknow, September 5, 2026 - The Uttar Pradesh government, under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, is investing heavily in rural development, allocating ₹454 crore in the budget for 2026-27 to establish digital libraries and Panchayat Utsav Bhawans in Gram Panchayats. The primary aim of these facilities is to provide digital resources, e-books, and competitive examination preparation materials to rural youth, while also promoting reading habits and digital literacy.
Construction of multipurpose Panchayat buildings totals nearly ₹57 crore, while Rs 100 crore will be spent on Panchayat Utsav Bhawans/Barat Ghars in rural Assembly constituencies. The government is emphasizing the development of these community hubs as centers for education, social activities, and governance, rather than merely administrative offices.
Accountability and monitoring are key components of the scheme, with a focus on responsible management, building maintenance, and citizen feedback. This initiative aligns with the Yogi Government's vision of equipping villages with modern facilities, better education, and a more connected rural life.
