He also pointed out that large-scale industrial expansion, MSME growth, startup promotion, and the ODOP (One District One Product) scheme have significantly reduced unemployment and curbed migration.

He said women’s participation in the workforce has increased, medical infrastructure has expanded, and better road, rail, air, and water connectivity has accelerated trade, tourism, and investment across the state.

Concluding his message, CM Yogi Adityanath said Uttar Pradesh Day is an occasion to reaffirm the collective resolve for a ‘Viksit Uttar Pradesh’. He called upon citizens to continue contributing to the state’s progress, stating that the journey from resolve to achievement will remain dynamic with public participation.
