On Monday, CM Yogi Adityanath highlighted Uttar Pradesh’s economic progress and welfare initiatives while marking eight years of the state’s NDA government.
He stated that the unemployment rate has dropped below 3% from 19% in 2016, while per capita income has risen from Rs 46,000 in 2017 to Rs 1,24,000. UP has also transitioned from a deficit economy to a revenue-surplus state without imposing additional taxes, with banking transactions reaching Rs 29.66 lakh crore.
Infrastructure has grown significantly, with UP leading in expressways and metro operations and hosting India’s first rapid rail service. The government is developing state development regions around cities like Lucknow, Varanasi, and Kanpur to boost urban expansion. At the same time, welfare programs provide free rations to 15 crore people and housing for 56 lakh families.
In the energy sector, electrification has nearly doubled, with 1.21 lakh more villages connected since 2017 and solar power production rising from 228 MW to 2,653 MW.
Healthcare and education have expanded significantly, with medical colleges increasing from 12 to 80, alongside nursing and paramedical institutions improvements. The CM reaffirmed his commitment to making UP a $1 trillion economy.
