Vision 2047 targets to make UP $6 Tneconomy, raise PCI to Rs 26L: Yogi
Yogi Adityanath
said on Thursday that the blueprint sets the target to make UP a $6 trillion economy.
"The govt is also committed to raising the per capita income to Rs 26 lakh per annum by 2047," he added.
The CM asserted that Uttar Pradesh would lead India's march to 'Viksit Bharat'. "India can become a developed nation only when every state meets its responsibility, adding that UP would be at the forefront of this mission," he said.
Sharing that the blueprint for Viksit Uttar Pradesh has been built on 3 themes and 12 sectors, the CM said: "Building on eight years of progress, the government aims to make Uttar Pradesh a $1 trillion economy by 2030, and chart a course toward $6 trillion by 2047, increasing the state's GDP share from 9.3% to at least 16%, he stated.
Yogi said that the current national per capita income is about Rs 2 lakh, while Uttar Pradesh's average is much lower. "The goal is that by 2047, the state's per capita income should be at least Rs 26 lakh annually, equal to or above the national average," the CM said, adding "there is a roadmap to raise the average growth rate to 15%."
The CM said that to advance the three themes -- Arth Shakti, Srijan Shakti and Jeevan Shakti -- 12 major sectors have been identified, based on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 5T principle of Trade, Tourism, Technology, Tradition, and Talent.

"Short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals will be pursued in these sectors step-by-step so that by 2047, Uttar Pradesh becomes the country's leading state in economic, social, and cultural fields," he added.
Thanking the 187 MLAs from both the ruling party and the opposition who took part in the discussion during the marathon, the CM lauded their serious and engaging participation, calling the marathon discussion a testament to the strength of democracy and the dedication of its members.
Asserting that only holistic development would help achieve the goal of 'Viksit UP and Viksit Bharat', Yogi said that 2047, the centenary year of India's independence, will be the year of 'Ram Rajya' in which basic facilities like education, medical care, housing, water, and electricity would be provided to every person.
Yogi said that the state planning department would make the final draft of the 'vision document' after coordinating with experts from various sectors and NITI Aayog.
The exercise would involve gathering suggestions invited over a period of one month. The final Vision Document will subsequently be put forth before the state assembly for its formal approval.
"This is not merely a 'Ghoshna Patra' but a 'mahaabhiyan' of UP's pledge, hard work, and astha," he said. "2047 sirf tithi nahi hai…ye hamare lye sapnon ka gantavya bhi hai …(2047 is not just a date…it is also a dream destination for us…)," he said.
The CM said that history will be created when 25 crore people work towards one goal.
He said that 2047 was a 'sankalp' to make UP the most prosperous state and put forth the ideals of humanistic values before the world.
Yogi said that this would be a journey of fulfilling the dreams of youth and women. He said that this would be the hope of a farmer working in a field, the hope of a student dreaming of a golden future, and the hope of a labourer who is laying the foundation of development.
He said the state would have to be established as a 'growth engine' of the country. At the same time, he said, the state will seek to sync the cultural and spiritual heritage with development and a modern outlook.
"UP will become the centre-point of spiritual awakening," the CM said. He added that Viksit Bharat, Viksit UP was no less than a pledge for the govt.

79th Independence Day: CM Manik Saha says Tripura's GDP rose by over 12%, urges youth to unleash passion for Viksit Bharat
Recalling the martyrs of India's freedom struggle, Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha on Friday highlighted the different initiatives adopted by his government in different sectors, including law and order, agriculture, education, employment, etc, and urged youths to pursue their passion for Viksit Bharat. He said Tripura has seen significant economic development in recent years, with over 12 per cent hike in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) last fiscal, catapulting the state to second position in the North East region. 'On this 79th Independence Day, let's ignite our souls with the heroic valour of Operation Sindoor, where our bravehearts redefined courage. I appeal to the Youths to unleash your passion for a #ViksitBharat & New India—fuel nationalism, dream big, and shape a glorious future,' CM Saha wrote on X. 'Tripura's economy is mainly based on agriculture. Last year, some initiatives were taken by the government for farmers' development', said CM. While detailing about the initiatives, he said that the state government spent Rs 15 crore under Mukhyamantri Integrates Crop Management to expand 92,588 hectares area for rice cultivation, brought another 20,161 hectares area under organic farming, distributed 11,444 agricultural equipment among farmers and 35,661 soil health cards, disbursed Rs 450 crore as farmers' loan under Kisan credit card scheme, provided Rs 201 crore to 2.38 lakh farmers directly in their bank accounts till this August under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme. He said his government provided Rs 109.34 crore to over 2.13 lakh farmers who were affected by the flood last year. Around 25,000 farmers were enrolled for Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, and the state government provided Rs 32.75 crore as assistance and subsidy under Mukhyamantri Fasal Bima Yojana in the 2020-21 fiscal. In the dairy and poultry sectors, the state produced over 2.47 lakh tonnes of milk, 59,700 tonnes of meat, and 36 crore eggs in the 2023-24 fiscal year. During the period, the state produced 85,800 metric tonnes of fish and 45.65 crore fish fingerlings that helped the state to attain self-sufficiency in fish production and export fish to neighbouring states. 'Tripura has topped in egg production and second in meat and milk production in the Northeast Region. Tripura is in the second position in fish production in the region,' said the CM. CM Saha highlighted that the crime rate in the state declined last year, with 19.4 per cent fewer crimes than the cases in 2023 and 12.35 per cent fewer crime cases in the first five months this year compared to 2024. The state also achieved success in combating drugs, as records showed a 106 per cent rise in the seizure of drugs and other narcotic items last year. The officials also destroyed a massive amount of drugs during the period, a rise of 132 per cent, he said. Highlighting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal for Atmanirbhar Bharat, CM Saha stated that it was not only a mere slogan but a resolution for 140 crores Indians to become self-reliant. The CM emphasised the need to push for Swadeshi products, saying that the Tripura government launched 'Vocal for Local' to prioritise the state-produced products. Saha said that the state is focusing on the indigenous people's overall development by implementing several schemes for their socio-economic development. The state would launch the 'Super 100' programme under the Mukhyamantri Janajati Unnayan Mission to impart training to the meritorious students, he added. In the tourism sector, CM Saha stated that different facelift works for Chaturdash Devata temple, Chhabimura, Kasba Kalibari, etc., are in progress. The chief minister said the government filled up 19,765 regular posts at different departments since 2018. Former Tripura Chief Minister and Lok Sabha MP Biplab Kumar Deb hoisted the national Tricolor at his residence in Agartala and celebrated the day by donating blood at Amarpur in Gomati district, interacting with security personnel, and visiting Shantikali Ashram in the area. Forest Minister Animesh Debbarma, who was elected from Asharambari in Khowai district, took part in the Independence Day celebrations in the district. Recounting Mahatma Gandhi, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Sardar Ballabhbhai Patel, and others who struggled for the Independence of the nation, Debbarma said that Independence isn't a gift, but a duty to ensure that people can live together with equal rights everywhere in the country. Chef Whip Kalyani Roy, while taking part in the celebrations at Teliamura, said that the motto of this Independence Day is 'New India' and said the spirit of freedom is not about anecdotes of the past alone, but a vision for the future as well. At Udaipur in Gomati district, Finance Minister Pranajit Singha Roy joined the celebrations at Udaipur Sports Complex. He paid homage to the brave freedom fighters who made a supreme sacrifice in the struggle for Independence. 'Independence Day is a Red-Letter day for all of us. We should never forget that our nation got freedom due to the sacrifices of our freedom fighters,' he said. Social Welfare Minister Tinku Roy joined the Independence Day celebrations at Unakoti district and said the central and state governments in Tripura are working to develop education, healthcare, infrastructure, agriculture, employment, and other crucial sectors to fulfill the dreams of freedom fighters. Meanwhile, in a sharp critique of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress MLA and veteran legislator Gopal Chandra Roy said, 'The BJP was born in 1980. Before that, there was the Jana Sangh and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP). They had no role in the nationalist movement. The BJP was not there. The BJP and VHP had sided with the British; they were 'Razakars' (pro-Pakistani activists who were active in different parts of India before the Independence). They never participated in the Independence movement. The Congress, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, fought against the British, and eventually, the British had to flee'. The Opposition CPI(M) celebrated the day by hosting the Tricolor at the Communist Party headquarters in Agartala, which was attended by former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar, Opposition Leader and politburo member Jitendra Chaudhury, and former deputy speaker Pabitra Kar. 'Democracy in the country is under attack. There is a concerted conspiracy to destroy secularism and change the Constitution itself. The working class, which comprises more than 75 per cent of the population, is still struggling to make ends meet. All democratic people of the country need to unite today and work towards developing these sectors, fight against communalism, and develop democracy, secularism. Only then, the spirit of Independence would be honoured,' Manik Sarkar said after joining a voluntary blood donation camp in Agartala. Congress Working Committee (CWC) member and former minister Sudip Roy Barman joined the Independence Day celebrations. He reminded that it was the Congress that had struggled to free India from British colonialism. 'The freedom fighters belonged to the Congress party. We are soldiers of the same party. Even today, the Congress party is struggling to protect the rights of Indians under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi,' he said.

Karnataka govt. will safeguard interests of people displaced due to dam projects: Madhu Bangarappa
Minister for School Education Madhu Bangarappa, who is also the Minister in charge of Shivamogga district, has said that the Karnataka government will safeguard the interests of people displaced due to the Sharavathi dam project, and of the bagair hukum cultivators of the district. Speaking to reporters after hoisting the national flag in Shivamogga on the occasion of the 79th Independence Day on Friday, the Minister said that the government would not evict any cultivator.

'Almost 80% of the work has been completed. The farmers will get the rights over the land they have been cultivating,' he added. On the issue of improving the facilities at McGann Hospital in Shivamogga, the Minister said that he had spoken to the Ministers concerned, and appealed for additional facilities, including a trauma care centre. He said that he would make efforts to develop the hospital into a super-speciality one, as hundreds of patients from Shivamogga and neighbouring districts visit the hospital every day. Besides that, the Minister said that the government was planning to construct a district office complex close to the KSRTC bus stand in the city. The people should get access to all important offices at one place, he added. Earlier in the day, Mr. Bangarappa hoisted the national flag at Nehru Stadium. As many as 29 platoons of policemen, home guards, municipal workers, school children, and NCC cadets took part in the parade. The Minister felicitated meritorious students and achievers in different fields at the event. Students from Nandan Education Trust, Police Public School, and Ananya High School presented dance-drama shows on the occasion. Legislators S.N. Channabasappa, Dhananjaya Sarji, and Balkhees Banu; officers including Deputy Commissioner Gurudatta Hegade, Superintendent of Police G.K. Mithun Kumar, and Zilla Panchayat CEO N. Hemanth; and others were present on the occasion.
