Lucknow: On the fourth day of the Monsoon Session, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath presented the UP Vision Document 2047 in the Assembly, outlining short-, medium-, and long-term goals to position the state as a global economic, social, and cultural leader. The roadmap prioritises boosting farm productivity, adopting advanced techniques, diversifying crops, promoting exports, expanding storage, raising farmer incomes, and transforming UP into an export hub through food processing units and mega food parks, alongside doubling livestock productivity and improving breeds.
The Chief Minister said Uttar Pradesh will be developed into a major MSME hub, with a target to quadruple exports in the next five years through facilitation, certification, and tech upgrades. Key thrust areas include aerospace, defence, EVs, batteries, and semiconductors. Plans also include setting up AI Cities in Lucknow and Kanpur, transforming Noida into a Global Capability Centre, enabling at least 10 startups to achieve unicorn status, and establishing world-class incubators in every division.
The Chief Minister announced that with ISRO’s cooperation, Uttar Pradesh will launch its own satellite, which will provide disaster management and information of weather. Along with this, the goal is to make UP a global leader in emerging fields like Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, and quantum computing. Work will also be done on building IT parks and converting IT opportunities into jobs.
To make Uttar Pradesh the cultural capital of the world, tourism corridors such as Naimisharanya, Vindhyachal, and Mathura-Vrindavan will be developed. Ramayana Circuit, Krishna Circuit, and Buddhist Circuit will be promoted along with encouragement for eco-tourism. World-class facilities will be provided for domestic and international tourists.
The Chief Minister said Jewar Airport, set to be India’s grandest international airport, is in its final phase and will be inaugurated by year-end, serving as a major cargo transit hub to drive economic growth. The focus ahead includes smart grids, renewable energy, and green hydrogen, with new solar parks planned in Bundelkhand and Purvanchal. Every city will be developed as a solar city, and forest cover will be expanded to 13–14%.
To promote women empowerment, education, and health facilities, several schemes will be launched. The plan is to increase women labour force participation to 50%, establish Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar working women’s hostels in every division, and create employment zones in memory of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in every district. New AIIMS and pharma parks will be set up to bring maternal and infant mortality rates to the national average, fight malnutrition, and promote medical tourism, CM Yogi pointed out.
The goal is to include 15 universities of Uttar Pradesh in the NIRF top 100 list in the next five years. Theme-based universities will be established in AYUSH, agriculture, sports, and forestry. Along with new IITs and IIMs, teacher-student exchange programs will be initiated with global universities.
For security and good governance, a CCTV network and AI-based surveillance system will be developed. The goal is to achieve zero accidents and zero fatalities in transportation. District development plans and master plans will be prepared for every district, which will increase economic strength and investment opportunities.
