Uttar Pradesh, one of the most populous states of India, has made extraordinary progress in most departments where its CM is in charge—Adityanath Yogi. Whether enhancing electricity production, developing more tourism destinations, or producing better infrastructure, Uttar Pradesh is in the full process of revolutionising.

Growing Air Connectivity

One of the most striking developments in Uttar Pradesh has been the astronomical growth in air passenger traffic, which has risen an impressive 100 times from the fiscal year 2016-17 to 2023. This growth not only indicates rising economic activities in the region but, more importantly, a strong commitment by the state towards connectivity.

Further making transportation options accessible to the people has been taken care of by establishing the inland waterways authority recently for passage through rivers. Uttar Pradesh governance The recent multi-modal terminal commissioned in Varanasi has been one giant leap forward in the same direction, as the state has been well connected through multiple modes of transport.

Taking a leap forward in power generation

Power generation in Uttar Pradesh has also moved a long way. It had a total power generation capacity of 5,600 MW in 2016-17. Today, this potential has been increased to 8,688 MW and the state government is planning to increase it to 12,800 MW by the end of this year.

It will provide electricity supply to even the remotest places in the state. In the year 2017, electricity supply was given to 1,28,494 villages, whereas last year it reached 2,49,818 villages, which means that now all hamlets in the state have been electrified. 

Solar Energy Revolution

Uttar Pradesh is also performing rather well in the renewable energy arena, especially in the sector of solar power. Where the installed capacity for solar energy projects had just been 288 MW back in 2017, now it stands at a breathtaking 2,596 MW today. The tenfold increase in solar projects over the past seven years proves that the state has dedicated itself to sustainable energy solutions. Ayodhya and Kashi have been developed as Solar Cities, while the Bundelkhand expressway has been prepared as a solar expressway, which will be an outstanding investment in clean energy. Ayodhya, on the other hand, has created a world record with its 10-km stretch through solar-smart streetlights.

Improving Law and Order

Along with all these infrastructural and economic advancements, the state government has also focused on the law and order of this state. Yogi government achievements The Yogi Adityanath government has made strict efforts to ensure the state becomes a crime-free zone.

It has undertaken some radical changes in the security systems for its citizens. Police commissioners have been stationed in the big cities of Lucknow, Kanpur, and Agra. A cyber cell has also been put up in all 75 districts to combat cyber crimes efficiently. Setting up Advanced Cyber Forensic Labs in Lucknow and regional police stations would further consolidate the commitment of the state towards citizen safety.

Preparation for Kumbh Mela 2025

Already, preparations for the 2025 Kumbh Mela are already in place. Officials anticipate that twice as many pilgrims will visit compared to 2019. Preparations ahead of the influx of pilgrims are thus being made by developing infrastructure. Nine railway overbridges have been constructed, while another is under construction. Moreover, more than 250 roads have been expanded and strengthened. There are also 114,500 toilets.

A Flourishing Tourism Industry

Uttar Pradesh has emerged as the most preferred destination for tourism, thereby providing hundreds of thousands of jobs and tens of crores to the state exchequer. The State Government has established various Teerth Development Councils, such as Ayodhya, Sri Devipatan, Braj, Vindhya Dham, etc., for planning and developing sites of pilgrimage on an all-round basis. This is a type of religious tourism that involves local communities also in this traffic boom.

In short, it can be said that Uttar Pradesh under Yogi Adityanath has been entering a metamorphosis phase in many sectors. It is progressing with power generation, increased use of solar energy, better law enforcement, and thriving tourism. The development trajectory of the state during these initiatives only promises good for the future of its residents and becomes a model for growth and progress in India.
