Greater Noida, Sep 28 (UNI) Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday said that Uttar Pradesh has emerged as a model of multifaceted development under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership, significantly contributing to India’s status as the fastest-growing economy globally.
Speaking as the Chief Guest at the valedictory ceremony of a trade show, the Union Minister said, “The success of this trade show showcases UP’s increasing strength.”
He said that the influx of buyers expressing interest in the products will elevate the country’s industrial development to new heights.
Emphasising the state government’s commitment to skill development, he said that the rise in skilled employment is benefiting entrepreneurs. “The effective implementation of central schemes by the Yogi government is also noteworthy,” he said.
Goyal said that the state’s focus on skill development, improving the ease of doing business, and developing smart cities has made UP a source of pride for the nation.
During the event, the Minister of UP government Rakesh Sachan said that the current atmosphere in the state is attracting investors.
“In 2017, exports stood at just 88,000 crores, but today that figure has more than doubled. The government has set an ambitious target of reaching 3 lakh crores in exports within the next two years. This growth is driven by MSMEs and the One District One Product (ODOP) initiative. Under CM Yogi’s leadership, the state is creating new avenues for development across all sectors, including law and order, infrastructure, rail connectivity and new Airports,” he said.
