Review Meeting on Uttar Pradesh Economic Plans
Earlier this week, the Chief Minister chaired a high-level review meeting focused on several major economic and administrative initiatives in the state.

During the review of the Uttar Pradesh Data Centre Cluster initiative, Yogi Adityanath said the project would become an important part of the state’s future artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure plans. He stressed that data centre development should not remain limited to the National Capital Region and directed officials to expand connectivity to other districts as well.
The meeting also included a review of “Project Ganga,” a programme designed to create digital entrepreneurship opportunities for young people. The Chief Minister instructed authorities to provide high-quality training to selected youth participants so they can work effectively in technology and survey-related services.
Focus on Modernising Mandis and Food Security
The Chief Minister additionally reviewed proposals connected to wheat processing and agricultural market reforms. He emphasised the need to improve mandi tax and fee structures in order to support local processing industries.
Yogi Adityanath also directed officials to modernise mandis across the state by improving cleanliness, lighting, infrastructure, and management systems. He asked authorities to remove encroachments and ensure proper maintenance, especially during festive periods.
During the meeting, the Chief Minister referred to concerns surrounding the possible impact of El Nino conditions on agriculture in the coming years. He said Uttar Pradesh must strengthen food security measures and maintain adequate foodgrain reserves to handle any future challenges affecting crop production.
