Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 15 (ANI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday distributed appointment letters to 60,244 Civil Police Constables of Uttar Pradesh Police in Lucknow.
In his address, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Amit Shah, said that today more than 60,000 youth are going to become an integral part of the largest police force in India. He said that the Uttar Pradesh Police is the largest police force in the entire country, but for some years in the past, the law and order situation was deteriorating.
He said that in 2017, Yogi Adityanath became the Chief Minister of the state, and the Uttar Pradesh Police once again began to move forward on the path of achieving new heights.
'Among those selected youth, over 12,000 are young women, and seeing their confidence, enthusiasm, and joy on their faces brings great satisfaction. Reservation provisions made by the Modi government for women are being implemented in Uttar Pradesh with 100 per cent adherence,' he said.
He said that these youths are becoming a part of the Uttar Pradesh Police at a time when the state is moving towards reformation. Shah said that the journey of Yogi Ji from 2017 to 2025 and that of Prime Minister Modi Ji from 2014 to 2025 is a period of transformation for India.
He said that these youths are joining the UP Police during the Amrit Kaal. He said that by 2047, our country will be number one in every field in the world, and Uttar Pradesh will have the biggest contribution in that.
He said that whether it is the industrial sector, education, law and order, infrastructure development, electricity and piped water supply to every village and household -- in every field, under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, Yogi Ji has successfully implemented schemes at the grassroots level to bring about the change. He said that now it is the responsibility of these youths to make Uttar Pradesh not only developed but also secure. (ANI)

Karnataka leads country in adding wind power capacity
BENGALURU: Karnataka has topped the country in wind power capacity addition for 2024-25, adding 1,331.48 MW — the highest among all states. The achievement was recognised at the Global Wind Day 2025 celebrations, held under the theme 'Pawan-Urja: Powering the Future of India'. Tamil Nadu and Gujarat followed, with additions of 1,136.37 MW and 954.76 MW, respectively. Energy Minister KJ George, who received the award from Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi, mentioned that Karnataka's total installed wind power capacity has now reached 7,351 MW and that the state has a commitment to the national goal of 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, including 100 GW from wind. Joshi said, 'As a proud Kannadiga, it's meaningful to celebrate Global Wind Day in Karnataka — the land of Hanuman, the original symbol of wind power. Just as he embodied the power of the wind, we are now capturing it through modern offshore turbines.' Highlighting India's growing capabilities, Joshi said, 'In 2014, our solar manufacturing capacity was just 2-3 GW. Today, we manufacture 90 GW worth of modules. The same is happening in wind – nacelles, gearboxes, turbines – all are now being made in India.' He added that domestic manufacturing of high-end electronics like mobile phones, including Apple devices, has risen significantly because of government policy. 'Today, 97% of Apple phones exported to the US in March and April came from India,' he noted. The minister identified three key challenges - ensuring 24x7 power and grid stability through integration of wind, solar, and pumped storage, offering competitive power tariffs and boosting domestic manufacturing to position India as a global leader in green energy. Joshi also released a report titled 'Ramping Up Local Manufacturing for Wind Turbines in India', which outlines a strategy to strengthen India's wind turbine manufacturing ecosystem.
