Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar has said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the progress of India is unmatched and Uttar Pradesh has played a special role in it. In eight years, Uttar Pradesh has become Uttam Pradesh and now it is rapidly moving towards becoming an enterprise state. Mr Dhankhar said this while inaugurating a three-day program in Lucknow on Uttar Pradesh Foundation Day today. Talking about the Maha Kumbh, the Vice President said, the whole world is surprised how such a big event is being organized in Prayagraj in such a systematic manner.
The Vice President said that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is dedicated to the development of Uttar Pradesh with determination. Appreciating the decline in crime in the state, he said, this has led to a significant jump in the ease of doing business.
As part of the celebrations, six distinguished individuals who have brought international recognition to the state’s growth and pride were honoured with the ‘Uttar Pradesh Gaurav Samman’. Each recipient was presented with 11 lakh rupees, a certificate of appreciation, and a ceremonial stole by the Vice President. During the event, the Vice President also launched the e-portal for the Mukhyamnatri Yuva Udyami Vikas Abhiyan (M YUVA). The initiative aims to make young people self-reliant and entrepreneurial by providing interest-free loans.
