Led by Bhadohi, UP contributes over to 60% of India's carpet exports: CM Yogi
Lucknow: Crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the revival of the carpet industry, Yogi Adityanath said that the industry faced severe challenges around 10 years ago. However, the govt provided workers with a conducive environment, and now UP contributes 60% of the country's carpet exports, with Bhadohi alone accounting for more than 60% of that. The district has also received a GI tag for its carpets. In Bhadohi for a few hours before he went to Varanasi on Monday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath held a review meeting of ongoing projects and gave immediate approval for two projects. These included a bridge over the Ganga near Dengurpur in Sitamarhi and a railway overbridge between Gopiganj and Mirzapur. "Bhadohi's craftsmanship has given both the state and the country a unique identity. Multiple govt-led initiatives have been launched to support entrepreneurs and artisans. The aim is to further promote and support India's ancient handicrafts and establish a stronger international market presence," he said. The CM directed officials to prioritise residential facilities for officers and staff at the district headquarters and also sought a report on the status of outsourced sanitation workers under the panchayati raj department. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mini House for 60 sqm for Seniors with Toilet and Bath (Click Here) Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo He directed officials to improve road connectivity to the district headquarters and expedite work on the approved mini stadium.
