Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said the proposed Global Investors Summit-2023 (GIS-2023) in February would create job opportunities for a million (10 lakh) youngsters in Uttar Pradesh.

Addressing a gathering after inaugurating the 90th Founder’s Week celebrations of Maharana Pratap Education Council, he also said India was proceeding towards major transformation in terms of research, infrastructure and development.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had assumed leadership of the G20 group that owns 80% the world’s resources, he said.

India would guide the whole world in the days to come, he added.

He emphasised the duty of every citizen to take part in transforming the country into the world’s number one economy and Uttar Pradesh to the leading economy in India.

The chief minister sought to inspire students by giving examples of former President APJ Abdul Kalam and former Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria.

Yogi Adityanath said, “The ones who do not give up even after defeat become a new inspiration.”

He said discipline was the backbone of every big achievement and applauded the New Education Policy.

Yogi Adityanath recalled that Mahant Digvijayanath had established Maharana Pratap Education Council foran educational renaissance in eastern Uttar Pradesh.

Referring to Gorakhpur as a model of development, he said today, the people of Bihar were eying Gorakhpur for job opportunities.

A decade before, people of the district had not imagined six-lane roads or expressways, but now it had become a reality, he said at a programme at Digvijayanath Park.

Promotion of tourism and infrastructure reforms would bring more investment to this region, he added.

Earlier, he distributed prizes to winners of the Mahant Avaidyanath All India Kabaddi championship. He listed the steps taken by his government for sports promotion.

Since 1994, no government had revised the sports budget but his government had enhanced it, he said.
