Trade show a platform to showcase UP before country: Yogi Adityanath

Highlighting the growth of start-ups, benefits under the CM Yuva Udyami Yojana, PM Vishwakarma scheme and increasing GI product registrations, he said: “Ten years ago, the PM had said the youth should become job creators and not job seekers. In a span of less than one year, 90,000 youths have received the benefit of several schemes.”

“In this UPITS 2025, more than 550 buyers from 80 countries and over 2,250 exhibitors are participating. With cooperation from all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh, stalls have been put up at the event,” Adityanath said.

“I welcome the PM on his first visit to the state after implementing the historic next-generation GST reform. We are grateful for the excellent Diwali gifts he gave to the poor, farmers, women, youth, middle class and MSMEs,” he added.

He noted earlier, businessmen faced multiple taxation slabs, but now GST reforms reduced them to two. “This will strengthen the economy,” he said. He recalled Deen Dayal Upadhyaya’s concept of ‘antyodaya’ and said Modi’s vision is transforming it into ‘Rashtrodaya’. He highlighted the revival of traditional enterprises, growth of start-ups, and benefits under the CM Yuva Udyami Yojana. “Today, UP is becoming a global hub for IT, semiconductors and electronics manufacturing. The state accounts for 50% of the country’s mobile phone production,” he added. He underlined improved infrastructure, connectivity and law and order in the state. —PTI inputs
