‘AI, green energy & agritech to help achieve USD 6trn economy by 2047’ | Lucknow News
Lucknow: To realise the vision of a ‘Developed Uttar Pradesh by 2047′, the state govt is formulating a concrete plan involving three core areas: holistic development, economic leadership, and cultural renaissance. “These can only be achieved through increased economic activity, creative power, and a young and healthy population. Targeting artificial intelligence, green energy, and agriculture technology, the govt is committed to delivering results in the next 22 years,” a govt spokesperson said.“Before 2017, Uttar Pradesh was considered a backward state in terms of development. Lack of police empowerment and smart monitoring frameworks resulted in weak crime control. Consequently, both employment and industry were stagnant, with many entrepreneurs migrating to other states,” he said.The spokesperson said that from 2017 onwards, when the BJP took over, consistent efforts were made to improve the delivery of govt schemes and policies with the help of technology. “In the recent investors summit, prominent companies from India and abroad proposed investments exceeding Rs 45 lakh crore, out of which Rs 15 lakh crore have already been realised,” he added.A senior govt official said that high-value services such as green manufacturing, agritech reforms, and modern technology would lead the state on the USD 6 trillion economy pathway. “Renewable energy, smart city infrastructure, and supply chain would create lakhs of job opportunities. Agritech and cold chain in rural areas will provide local employment and reduce migration,” he said.“To meet the target, the state must maintain continuous annual growth at the rate of 16%. Per capita income will significantly increase, and the state’s contribution to the national economy will reach around 20%. It will be possible only if private and public investments, cluster-building, human resource development, and a secure investment environment are consistently maintained,” the officer said.Those willing to contribute to the 2047 mission would also get to play their part. CM Yogi Adityanath has announced that a dedicated portal to collect and gather feedback of the state population and those willing to take the state on the path of prosperity by 2047 are welcome. The state has set up a portal (samarthuttarpradesh.up.gov.in) through which such suggestions and feedback would be collected.
