Yogi Adityanath credits women’s empowerment for Uttar Pradesh’s economic surge

During a Navratri prayer, Yogi Adityanath highlighted that women’s empowerment drove the state’s progress, noting that in nine and a half years the GSDP, per-capita income, budget and female labour-force participation have each roughly tripled. He added that Uttar Pradesh has maintained a revenue surplus, attracted investment proposals exceeding ₹50 lakh crore, and now holds about 60 percent of India’s expressway network. Agricultural growth has risen from 8 percent to 18 percent under his tenure.
