Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday laid the foundation for Lykli, a shopping destination to be developed by 2028 in Noida by Ingka Centres, which is part of the Ingka Group that operates Ikea Retail and Ingka Investments brands.

Adityanath said that Uttar Pradesh today has ventured into a “new century of development”. “With a focus on skill development of youths and embracing traditional industries, the government is focused on its vision of ‘One District One Product’,” he said, adding that this scheme has “become one of the most popular schemes in India today”.

The CM also said that the ease of doing business in Uttar Pradesh has helped the state see a decline in its unemployment rate. “Investment should be equated with employment and I think this (unveiling of Lykli) will set a true example of that,” Adityanath said.
