Govt Schemes Not Just For Vote Bank, But To Help Society Achieve Self-Reliance: Yogi Adityanath
Yogi urged the educational institutions to ensure that the students are made aware of the central and state schemes, and initiatives so that they can avail maximum benefit.
New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said the government schemes are not just for “vote bank”, but a medium for the society to achieve “self-reliance”.
Speaking at the Bhoomi Pujan of a hostel run by Bhaurao Deoras Sewa Nyas, CM Yogi said, “The schemes are not only a vote bank but are medium for the society to achieve self-reliance.”
He also urged the educational institutions to ensure that the students are made aware of the central and state schemes, and initiatives so that they can avail maximum benefit.
“There are immense possibilities for startups in the agriculture sector in UP, we have to prepare the youth. MSME has the largest base in UP, our government’s little encouragement to UP’s exports has resulted in an annual export of Rs 1.60 lakh crores taking place today,” he said, adding, “The fourth phase of PM Skill Mission is about to start, we have to prepare our youth for this. It is necessary to make all the plans a part of the curriculum so that after getting their degree the youth do not have to wander anymore.”
Talking about the UP government’s efforts on gender equality in the state, CM Adityanath said, “Kanya Sumangala Yojana is not only curbing female foeticide but through a provision of Rs 15,000 as a package from the government level is enabling the daughters to achieve their dreams and fulfil all their essential needs.”
Schemes such as Mission Indradhanush are eliminating gender bias by ensuring every girl child gets proper healthcare, he added.
Yogi Adityanath further said that the students aspiring to set up startups must be made aware of the incentives given by the government and schemes like Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana, Mukhya Mantri Yuva Swarozgar Yojana and the ODOP (One District One Product).
He also said under Abhyudaya scheme, free coaching is provided to aspiring youths of the state. About 43 candidates qualified in the UP Public Service Commission through the Abhyudaya coaching and got selected.
“We are also making efforts to make youth technologically advanced through the provision of two crore tablets and smartphones,” he said.
