Gorakhpur, December 9: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said that Uttar Pradesh is the youngest state in the country. Its youth are extremely talented. Their talent is in demand in many countries both nationally and internationally. By connecting youth with training, the state will be transformed into a hub of skilled human resources for the country and the world.
CM Yogi was addressing the gathering after inaugurating the newly constructed Government ITI (Industrial Training Institute) in Narkattha, Piprauli block area of ​​Gorakhpur on Tuesday afternoon. This ITI was constructed at a cost of ₹18 crore from the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) fund of Powergrid Corporation of India. It will be operated by the state government.
At the inauguration ceremony of the ITI, the Chief Minister stated that Uttar Pradesh is the largest state in the country in terms of population. 55 to 60 percent of the population is working, meaning young. Therefore, it is fortunate that Uttar Pradesh is the youngest state in the country. There is a large population of youth here, and this scale must be linked to skills.
–Youth will be trained in trades according to industrial demand.
The Chief Minister stated that the government is training youth in trades according to industrial demand. Training is being provided through the NIELIT branch in GIDA. This will enable youth to be accommodated in local industries through campus selection. He added that the ITIs established by Powergrid will also skill youth in trades according to industrial demand.
CM Yogi stated that the government, in collaboration with Tata Technologies, is working to equip more than 150 ITIs with cutting-edge technology. The work is underway to advance youth by connecting them to two types of training programs in ITIs: long-term and short-term. Under the long-term plan, youth are being trained in electric vehicles, advanced CNC machines, the Industrial Internet of Things, industrial robotics and digital manufacturing, and 3D printing. Similarly, under the short-term plan, training is also being provided in electric vehicles, maintenance, water distribution, automatic welding machines, and automatic manufacturing.
He said that unskilled youth receive a low honorarium, but once they become skilled, they will receive a higher honorarium.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that the youth from Uttar Pradesh who were sent to Israel are receiving between ₹1.25 lakh and ₹1.5 lakh per month, with free accommodation and food. Uttar Pradesh youth are in demand in countries around the world, including Germany and Japan. Providing training and language skills to Uttar Pradesh youth will be extremely beneficial to the country and the world. This will not only benefit these youth, but in the future, we will establish ourselves as a hub for providing the best manpower within the country.
Chief Minister stated that an ITI in the GIDA area is essential. Training youth through this initiative will provide them with jobs in the industries being established there. He added that guaranteeing employment to every youth is the commitment of the double-engine government. Powergrid has also contributed to fulfilling this commitment by establishing ITIs.
CM Yogi stated that industries are now being established not only in GIDA, but also in Dhuriapar. Referring to his recent visit, he said that marriage halls like the ones in Gorakhpur city are now being built in every village in Dakshinanchal. Every village is vibrant, meaning development has now reached the villages as well.
Chief Minister noted that Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya had said that the measure of economic development is not a large mansion, but rather development plans that have reached the final stage. He said that the development reaching villages due to the double-engine government demonstrates this.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that in the last eight years, an investment of 12 to 15 thousand crore rupees has been made in GIDA alone, providing direct employment to approximately 50,000 youth. Geeta Press is coming up next to Varun Beverages in GIDA, and other new industries are being established. Other industries are also coming up, including Gallant and Ankur Industries. In addition to Gallant’s cement factory, a cement factory is also going to be set up in Dhuriyapur.
CM Yogi Adityanath said that previously, after harvesting, stubble was considered waste and burned. This reduced the fertility of the fields and polluted the environment. Now, stubble is a source of income. Indian Oil has installed a compressed biogas plant in Dhuriyapur. Providing stubble there will earn a price, while also protecting the environment. This means you’ll get the fruits and seeds as well.
Chief Minister said that if the environment is protected, we will remain healthy. And, if we remain healthy, we will contribute to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a developed India.
