Ghaziabad: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Friday in Ghaziabad, released the book ‘Bharatvarsh ki Swarnabha Narendra Modi’ authored by former MP Ramesh Chandra Tomar. On the occasion, the CM called for advancing the commitment of ‘Viksit Bharat – Viskit Uttar Pradesh’ and urged the youth to connect with technology. The Chief Minister said, “Writing is a form of devotion, and this book is an inspiring work that preserves the achievements of Prime Minister Narendra Modi till now.” He suggested that it should be kept in universities, colleges, and libraries so that the younger generation can draw inspiration. At the same time, he urged youth to adopt AI and emerging technological knowledge.
CM Yogi Adityanath said, “Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, India today is the fourth-largest economy in the world and will soon reach the third position.”
“Uttar Pradesh too is rapidly moving towards development. Before 2017, UP was called a ‘BIMARU state’, but today it is the country’s second-largest economy. In 2016–17, UP’s GDP was Rs 12.75 lakh crore, and the target is to increase it to Rs 36 lakh crore by 2025–26”, the CM said.
CM Yogi appealed the young people to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technology. He said that technology does not snatch away jobs, but rather creates new opportunities. “Just as computers created new possibilities when they were introduced, in the same way, AI will also bring new possibilities in agriculture, education, and healthcare. If farmers adopt technology, their productivity can increase up to three times”, the CM said,
The Chief Minister further said, “Before 2017, Ghaziabad was identified with filth and gangsters. By spreading rumours, Gautam Buddh Nagar was turned into a den of loot. It was said that no Chief Minister could come here, and if he did, he would lose his chair. ”
He added, “The same notion was created for Bijnor and Agra as well. Fear and rumours were spread. I spent the night in Bijnor and visited the so-called haunted circuit house in Agra, and also went to Noida. Even then, the public blessed me again and made me Chief Minister. The truth about those spreading rumours had to come before the public. Today, Ghaziabad has become a hub of education and industry.”
CM Yogi said that the youth, farmers, women, and entrepreneurs of UP are our strength. He urged everyone to give their suggestions on the Samarth UP Portal. He said that the three best suggestions from each district will be felicitated at the district level, and the five best suggestions will be felicitated at the state level.
Referring to the Prime Minister’s “Panch Pran,” the Chief Minister said that Indians must come out of the mindset of slavery and take pride in their Indian identity. Narrating the story of the lion and the jackal, he said that we Indians must recognize our roar and abandon the mindset of considering foreigners as superior. CM Yogi said that before 2017, UP’s youth used to hide their identity outside the state, but today they proudly say they are from UP. He said that in the coming years, UP will become the number one economy of the country.
On this occasion, state ministers Sunil Kumar Sharma, Narendra Kashyap, MP Atul Garg, Rajkumar Sangwan, Narayan Giri Ji Maharaj, BJP regional president Satyendra Sisodia, Mayor Sunita Dayal, District Panchayat Chairperson Mamta Tyagi, MLAs Sanjeev Sharma, Ajit Pal Tyagi, Nand Kishore Gurjar, Dharmesh Tomar, Dharmendra Bhardwaj, Metropolitan President Mayank Goyal, District President Jayant Pal, regional vice-president Mansingh Goswami, convener and book author former MP Ramesh Chandra Tomar, former MP Anil Agarwal along with Ghaziabad’s intellectuals and a large number of students were present.
