Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 16 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the state government has engaged 300 intellectuals, including retired chief secretaries, secretaries, deputy secretaries, and vice-chancellors, to help frame a roadmap for a ‘Developed India–Developed Uttar Pradesh 2047’.

Addressing a workshop on the subject, the Chief Minister said that these experts are visiting academic institutions across the state to hold discussions and gather ideas from people regarding the state’s development goals for 2047.

‘We gathered 300 intellectuals from the entire state, including retired chief secretaries, deputy secretaries, secretaries, and vice-chancellors, and asked them if they could visit various academic institutions of Uttar Pradesh and move ahead in the direction of discussing the vision and resolution of Developed Uttar Pradesh. They said they would, and this programme is ongoing. These teams are talking to people about it and taking ideas and suggestions from them,’ CM Yogi said.

Earlier in the day, Adityanath launched the NaMo Yuva Run in Lucknow and highlighted key initiatives and the vision of a developed India as part of the Seva Pakhwada programme.

Speaking on the occasion, he said that the Seva Pakhwada, being conducted from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday to Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary, emphasises health and youth participation.

‘The Seva Pakhwada programme will run from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday to Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday, also known as the Father of the Nation. The Prime Minister firmly believes that if women are healthy, the youth will also be healthy. As part of this initiative, a blood donation camp has been organised, and youth from across the country are participating in the programme. The entire nation is progressing with this concept of India,’ he said.

The Chief Minister underscored the importance of health for self-reliance, linking it to initiatives like World Yoga Day and the Khelo India movement.

‘Every individual is eager to contribute in their respective fields. We must work towards the development of our village and region. The foundation of self-reliance lies in maintaining good health, and a crucial step towards this is participating in the ration programme. June 21 is celebrated as World Yoga Day, and an initiative has been taken to promote health awareness through the Khelo India and Fit India Movement sports competitions,’ he added.
