Richest district in Uttar Pradesh, its per capita income is higher than Japan, not Ghaziabad, Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra, the name is...
यूपी का सबसे अमीर शहर लखनऊ नहीं... New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh, under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has witnessed massive transformation. From 2017 to 2024, UP's transformation is nothing short of remarkable. The state has shifted from being a 'Performer' to a 'Top Achiever' in EoDB. The Yogi government is working relentlessly to change the state's business environment and make it an investor's heaven. In 2017, Uttar Pradesh was a mere 'Performer' in the EoDB rankings, but by 2022-23, it had ascended to the prestigious 'Top Achiever' status. This leap is no small feat, especially considering the complexities of achieving such a rank There is a district in Uttar Pradesh whose income has surpassed that of Japan. All you need to know about the district: Gautam Buddh Nagar, which includes Noida and Greater Noida, is the richest and fastest-growing district in Uttar Pradesh. The income level in Gautam Buddh Nagar (based on Purchasing Power Parity or PPP, which takes the cost of living into account) is now being compared to that of developed countries like Japan. Gautam Buddha Nagar district is now the largest industrial district in Uttar Pradesh. Many companies are located in Noida. Noida is one of the fastest-growing and most developed cities in the country. It is also known for business, engineering, and technological advancement. According to a report by The Times of India, the per capita income in Gautam Buddha Nagar is Rs 10.17 lakh, which is ten times higher than the state average. In the financial year 2023–24, Gautam Buddha Nagar's GDP was Rs 2.63 lakh crore, accounting for more than 10% of Uttar Pradesh's total economy and nearly double that of Lucknow's economy. The per capita income of some districts in eastern Uttar Pradesh—such as Pratapgarh, Jaunpur, and Ballia—is so low that it is comparable to that of poor countries like Afghanistan or Mali. The income levels of Gautam Buddha Nagar are approaching those of developed countries It is important to note that there is a significant disparity in Uttar Pradesh's economy. The top five districts — Gautam Buddha Nagar, Lucknow, Ghaziabad, Agra, and Kanpur — together contribute more than 25% to the state's GDP. In contrast, the bottom five districts contribute less than 2.5 percent.

Security concerns: Drone ban in several UP districts
Lucknow: In the wake of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's directive to tighten enforcement of drone regulations across Uttar Pradesh, several districts including Ayodhya, Muzaffarnagar, Mathura, Meerut and Bijnor have imposed bans on unauthorised drone operations to prevent the misuse of drones and curb rising public anxiety caused by circulating rumours and false videos, officials said . In Ayodhya, where drone restrictions were earlier limited to the temple town area surrounding the Ram Janmabhoomi complex, a blanket ban on drone operations has now been enforced across the entire district. Ayodhya District Magistrate Nikhil Tikaram Funde, exercising powers under BNSS Section 163, declared the ban at a joint press conference with Senior Superintendent of Police Gaurav Grover on Monday. "Suspicious drone activity has been reported from several districts, which could potentially aid criminal acts or trigger panic," the DM said, adding that only police and authorised security agencies will be exempt from the order. Private individuals and organisations must obtain prior written permission to fly drones. The order in Ayodhya follows a high-level videoconference chaired by Chief Minister Adityanath on Sunday, where he instructed district magistrates and police officials to strictly monitor drone activity in light of 17 FIRs and 29 arrests linked to drone-related rumours.
