CM: Work to make state a one-trillion dollar economy

Besides making Uttar Pradesh the country’s number one economy, Adityanath said, Udyami Mitras would play an important role in achieving the goal of ‘Ease of Doing Business’.

“You have to see that no one can point a finger at you anywhere. There will be an attempt to lure you and break your morale. But you must keep in mind the 25-crore people of the state and carry out your duties with unwavering commitment and dedication to establish the state as one trillion-dollar economy and as the country’s biggest economy,” the chief minister told the recruits.

Making the investment process for industrialists smooth in Uttar Pradesh, the state government has hired graduates (called “Udyami Mitras”) from top institutes of the country and abroad, including IITs and IIMs to act as a link between the investors and different government departments to expedite the procedure by resolving problems faced by them at different stages.

“Udyami Mitras will try to resolve investors’ problems and if there is no solution available at their level, they will apprise the department concerned to find it,” he said. “More than 100 Udyami Mitras have been selected here, who after receiving 14 days’ training inspected some of the industrial sites. You are about to start new innings of life. Within the next three years, you will contribute strongly to furthering the possibilities of investment in Uttar Pradesh under these programmes. Your work will be evaluated every month,” said the chief minister.

Adityanath added that after the successful tenure of three years, any Udyami Mitras associated with industrial development or willing to join any service of various authorities or government would be given age relaxation and special weightage.

“All selected candidates have come from respected universities. Graduates and postgraduate candidates applied from top educational institutes, including the University of Wales, the UK, IIM-Lucknow, IIM-Indore, BHU and NIT-Prayagraj. It is an appeal to all of you that this is an opportunity for you to work, to prove yourself and to use your potential in the interest of the state,” he said.

Adityanath also appealed to the entrepreneurs to invest more and more in the changed Uttar Pradesh and create
employment. “We have also started CM Internship Scheme. Under the scheme, youth will work with you for a certain period and later be adjusted elsewhere. We have set a target to connect 7.5 lakh youth with this within the next one year in UP,” he added.
