Lucknow, 05 September: To make the state successful on the economic front, the Yogi government has been a big success in giving various amenities to the traders.

The state has achieved second place in the country by performing extremely well in terms of ‘ease of doing business’.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on this achievement that the remarkable journey decided by Uttar Pradesh in last one year in the Ease of Doing Business Rankings is a testimony that the government has succeeded in meeting the demand of industries and meeting the expectations of the entrepreneurs.

State Industrial Development Minister Satish Mahana has also expressed happiness over this success of Uttar Pradesh.

He said that Uttar Pradesh has done excellently under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The Chief Minister promoted transparency in processes through the use of technology, which has led to this achievement.

The ranking, released every year by the central government, aims to introduce competition among states to improve the business environment to attract domestic and global investors.

Rankings of states are measured on hundred indices such as construction permits, labour laws, environmental registration, access to information, land availability and single window systems.

The Ease of Doing ranking for all states and union territories is prepared by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade under the Business Reform Action Plan.

Earlier this ranking was released in July 2018. Andhra Pradesh was at the first place then. Telangana was second and Haryana third. Uttar Pradesh was ranked 12th.

This time, Andhra Pradesh has secured first place in the country and Uttar Pradesh second in the Ease of Doing Business rankings for the year 2019.

At the same time, Telangana has slipped to third place. In this way, Uttar Pradesh has taken a very high lead by taking the second place from the 12th position, with a bang. It is considered a major success of the Yogi government.

In fact, the Yogi government has announced several new policies to ease the process of setting up industries in the state during the last one year.

Now NOC is available within just 72 hours to set up industry in the state. This is giving a lot of convenience to the businessmen and they have appreciated it very much.
