Varanasi, September 17 (HS). State Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that everyone has seen the changed Kashi after 2014. Just as Kashi has changed, similarly the country-Uttar Pradesh has also changed. This India is feeling proud of its development-heritage. India has world-class infrastructure today. The vision of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat has come true. The most backward India has become the fifth largest economy in just ten years under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. India will become the third largest economy in the next three years. The Prime Minister has presented the roadmap of 2047 in front of the countrymen. If 140 crore countrymen, 25 crore people of UP are happy, then the credit for this goes to Kashi, because Prime Minister Modi represents Kashi in the Parliament.
The Chief Minister on Tuesday launched Vishwakarma Jayanti and Swachhata Hi Seva Program-2024 at Rudraksh Convention Center. He provided e-vouchers, training certificates, loan cheques etc. to the beneficiaries of PM Vishwakarma Yojana. By pressing the button, Vidya Shakti Yojana was launched in collaboration with IIT Chennai in 104 council schools of Varanasi and smart classes were inaugurated in 1143 council schools. The Chief Minister inaugurated the QR codes installed in 54 thousand houses in Bhelupur zone of Varanasi Municipal Corporation. CM Yogi also launched the facility of depositing monthly rent of shops through QR code, plantation program at Kanchanpur Park and Sarang Talab site under Upvan Yojana.
Everything is possible under the leadership of PM Modi
Addressing the people in the program, Chief Minister Yogi said that ten years ago, did anyone think that Kashi Vishwanath would be built so grandly. The connectivity, air connectivity, waterway connectivity here would be so good. Four-lane roads, beautiful ghats, the system of monasteries and temples will be beautified. Heritage will get recognition. Prayagraj Kumbh can be grand and divine. A grand temple of Shri Ramlala will be built in Ayodhya. Article 370 will be removed in Kashmir. India's borders will be safe. 4 crore poor people will get housing, 10 crore poor people will get toilets, 12 crore poor people will get Ujjwala Yojana connection, 80 crore people will get free ration facility, but now all this has become possible.
Before 2014, corruption had become the hallmark of the government
Chief Minister Yogi said that before 2014, anarchy was at its peak. There was a total lack of faith among the people. The security of the country was in danger. Terrorism, separatism, extremism were at their peak. Corruption had become the identity of the then government. Youth were unemployed and businesses were in disarray. There was lack of basic facilities and no place for self-employment. India stood like a spectator in the last row in the world. Infrastructure was very poor. Forget connectivity, there were no basic facilities in rural areas. Governments used to play with the faith of India by climbing to the pinnacle of appeasement. They used to conspire to ensure that India did not get an opportunity to feel proud.
Modi is completely dedicated to his parliamentary constituency
Yogi said that even an ordinary MP does not give as much time as Prime Minister Narendra Modi gives to his parliamentary constituency. Kashi has been presented on the global stage while maintaining its water, land and air connectivity, spiritual and cultural identity. India is continuously progressing under his leadership.
Prime Minister Modi has given a vision to the country
Chief Minister Yogi said that Prime Minister Modi has given a vision to the country. Digital India is one of them. On one hand, an innovative effort has been started for the students of first, second and third classes through the Vidya Shakti program with IIT Chennai. Smart classes are also being started in all the schools here. Education is the foundation of a priority, civilized, cultured and capable society. The Prime Minister has brought many changes in the lives of the youth through new revolution and various schemes in the country and the world through DBT. He has also given new wings to the aspirations of the youth to fly.
Village artisans working as Vishwakarma
CM Yogi said that PM Vishwakarma Yojana is realizing the vision of Gram Swaraj of Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi. Our villages were never dependent, their dependence on the government was negligible. The artisans are being given respect, training, honorarium, tool kit. There is a program to link them with the bank after skill development and training. The village artisans are working as Vishwakarma.
Cleanliness campaign will reach new heights in 694 villages of Kashi
Chief Minister Yogi said that the cleanliness campaign will reach new heights in all the 694 villages of Kashi. There will also be cleanliness and sanitization. To avoid viral diseases, caution will have to be taken in this season. Typhoid will not occur if you heat the water, cool it and filter it before drinking. If there are mosquitoes and flies, then malaria, dengue, kala-azar, chikungunya will occur. Regular cleaning and fogging will never cause disease. Efforts to prevent them have begun. The Municipal Corporation is also working towards achieving the goal of self-reliance.
PM Modi fulfilled the dream of smart city
CM Yogi said that smart cities were a dream in the country, but Prime Minister Modi had developed 100 cities as smart cities. UP also has 10 cities in this. All 17 municipal corporations are being developed as smart cities. Through door to door garbage collection, solid waste management program, pure drinking water, integrated traffic management system, one can operate the traffic system by sitting at one place. One can monitor garbage collection. Every house should be monitored through QR code. The Municipal Corporation has taken one ward as a pilot project in this.
Kashi Nagar Nigam is a role model for the country in many ways
CM Yogi said that Kashi Nagar Nigam is a role model for the country in many ways. We still have to take it further. Technology is being used better here. The common people will be able to pay their various taxes through QR code. The Nagar Nigam has 2200 shops. Rent will be paid on time through the online portal. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, corruption is being attacked through Digital India-DBT.
Millions of people joined the call for a tree in the name of mother
CM Yogi said that the Municipal Corporation is also making arrangements for City Forest for plantation. PM Modi often discusses this in Mann Ki Baat. Vehicles were flagged off for garbage collection and cleanliness in urban and rural areas. CM Yogi said that crores of people have taken it to new heights of success by joining the call of 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam'. More than 35 crore saplings have been planted in Uttar Pradesh in a single day. A person cannot live without oxygen. It is the basis of our life. The CM appealed to plant trees to save the environment and get rid of plastic. On the call of PM Modi, Municipal Corporation Varanasi has decided to develop the land as City Forest by freeing it from illegal occupation. The Chief Minister asked the District Administration, Development Authority and Irrigation Department to provide green field roads on both banks of Varuna River. When the water level inside the river is low, then check dams should be built at various places. When the water level of Ganga is high, the gate should be closed there and the water from here should be sent to the other side through the regulator. Due to the high water level, there will be no danger of floods for the people living on both banks of the Varuna river. We can do a comprehensive program of road and plantation for transportation. This will help the Varuna river to regain its ancient glory. Varuna and Assi have been the identity of Kashi. We have to revive the Assi river. After this we will start working on it.
Modi is an advocate for cleanliness
CM Yogi said that Prime Minister Modi is insistent on cleanliness. Swachh Bharat Mission has brought about a massive change in the lives of common people. Every person should become a part of this campaign. Do not litter at places of faith, railway stations, public places, roads, and do not let others litter.
