UPGIS-2023: Prime minister Narendra Modi has asserted that if India is a bright spot for the world, then it is Uttar Pradesh that is driving the country’s growth.

After inaugurating the summit, PM Modi said, “Within 5-6 years, UP has established a new identity for itself. Now, UP is being identified by good governance, better law and order, peace and stability. Now, wealth creators here will get new opportunities,”

He further added that Uttar Pradesh, which was earlier known as a ‘BIMARU’ state, is today known for good governance.

BIMARU is a term used earlier to refer to states that have poor economic conditions. The acronym BIMARU comprises the first letters of four states – Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh.

Moreover, the prime minister has mentioned the benefits of millet, which is also known as ‘mota anaj’ and has emerged as a superfood today.

To emphasize the importance of millets, which is now called ‘Shri Anna’, PM Modi said that millets have very high nutritional value. Our effort is that India’s ‘Shri Anna’ addresses global nutrition security. He said, “Today, the aspirations of the society of India are giving a push to the governments. And these aspirations are also bringing speed to the developmental works.”

“Today, India is carrying out reforms not out of compulsion, but out of conviction,” he added.
