Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has constituted a special team of officials and educationists to introduce young people to various dimensions of the Global Investors Summit (GIS)-2023 and GBC@IV through a series of interactions with them.

This team, constituted ahead of the Ground Breaking Ceremony for industrial projects valued at over Rs 10 lakh crore, includes 12 retired officers from the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), four from the Indian Police Service (IPS), and seven from the Indian Forest Service, along with 19 senior educationists.

On February 17-18, the team members will engage and discuss with the youths at different universities/colleges, addressing their queries related to jobs, employment, and career planning. Additionally, they will raise awareness about the Global Investors Summit-2023 and GBC@IV.

Addressing the 42-member team at a special event at his official residence on Friday, the chief minister, said that the investment proposals of Rs 40 lakh crore received by the government during the successful completion of the GIS have to be implemented within a year’s time. This, he said would immensely contribute to the overall development of the state and provide employment and career opportunities for our youth in abundance.

“UP is a state of immense possibilities. To achieve the overall development of the country and the state, we must materialise these opportunities on the ground. Each of you possesses extensive experience in public life, having shouldered significant responsibilities. It is expected that our youth will benefit from your experiences, and your support in this endeavor is highly appreciated,” he said.

Claiming that initiatives such as the investors’ summit and the Ground Breaking Ceremony are not solely for the benefit of entrepreneurs but primarily for our youth, Yogi Adityanath said, “As industries are established, job opportunities will be created, directly benefiting our youth. We are also focusing on enhancing the skills of our youth and creating job opportunities for them.”

He said the Global Investors Summit-23 was crucial in the sense that it attracted investments for every district in the state. Now, industrial development is not limited only to the NCR or some selected cities, but every district is benefiting from it. The groundbreaking ceremony will benefit all 75 districts of the state. All districts will be connected to the main event on February 19.

“Your interaction with the youth in universities and other educational institutions before the organization of GBC@IV is crucial. During these discussions, kindly provide information about the plans to attract large capital investment in the state through various policies issued by the UP government. Familiarize them with the schemes run by the Indian government and the State Government for the welfare of the youth. Address their queries so that more and more young individuals can benefit from the schemes. Guide them on how this summit will be useful for their bright future,” he suggested.

The CM pointed out that a recent report indicated that 60,000 workers returned from Tamil Nadu to the state. All of them were employed in the textile sector. Their decision to return underscores their optimism for a prosperous and secure future in UP.
