Budget will provide new direction to Aatmanirbhar, Viksit UP vision: CM Yogi

CM Yogi Adityanath says UP's massive budget provides a new direction for a self-reliant, $1 trillion economy and Viksit Bharat 2047 goals.

"The budget... will provide new direction, new energy, clear policy-vision and concrete action plan - CM Yogi Adityanath"

Lucknow, Feb 11

The Yogi government is set to present its 10th Budget in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly on Wednesday. This will be the last full Budget of the BJP-led government's second term.

The Budget size is Rs 9.5 lakh crore, significantly exceeding previous budgets.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that this Budget will provide a new direction and a clear policy vision to achieve the goals of 'Aatmanirbhar' and 'Viksit' Uttar Pradesh.

Taking to X, CM Yogi said, "Under the illustrious guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Mod ji, 'New Uttar Pradesh' is continuously advancing towards the construction of a strong, self-reliant and prosperous state with the policy of good governance, inclusive development and public welfare."

"The budget for the financial year 2026-27, presented today in the Uttar Pradesh Legislature, will provide new direction, new energy, clear policy-vision and concrete action plan to the resolution of 'Aatmanirbhar' and 'Viksit' Uttar Pradesh," he added.

The Chief Minister further said that the Budget will also "ensure the state's progress towards achieving the $1 trillion economy target".

"Keeping the dignity of the poor, the self-respect of the youth, the empowerment of mothers and the prosperity of farmers at the centre, this Budget will become a strong foundation for the construction of 'Viksit Bharat 2047' and the bright future of 'New Uttar Pradesh'," CM Yogi added.

The proposal will be finalised after a Cabinet meeting under the chairmanship of the Chief Minister, after which, Finance Minister Suresh Khanna will present the Budget in the Assembly at 11 a.m.

According to the government, agriculture, education, health, and infrastructure have been given special emphasis in this Budget. Apart from this, job creation, industrial investment, and women and youth empowerment are also given priority.

The Budget is anticipated to allocate sufficient resources for the balanced development of Purvanchal, Bundelkhand, and other underdeveloped regions, aiming to reduce regional disparities.

In terms of social welfare initiatives, there may be an increase in funds for old-age pensions, assistance for destitute women, and support for the disabled.

Additionally, a possible rise in the honorarium for Shiksha Mitras and instructors could positively impact millions of teachers.

Finally, special emphasis on women's empowerment and support for destitute women is mentioned. As a mother, I hope the 'empowerment of mothers' isn't just a slogan. We need concrete schemes for childcare and skill development. Let's see the actual allocations.

The $1 trillion economy target for UP is an ambitious vision. For Aatmanirbhar UP to work, we need to boost MSMEs and reduce red tape for local businesses. Hope the budget has clear incentives for small entrepreneurs, not just big industrialists.

I'll believe it when I see it. Every year there are big announcements, but the quality of government schools and hospitals in my town hasn't improved much. Increasing the honorarium for Shiksha Mitras is a good step, but they need permanent status and proper training.

Infrastructure development is crucial. If they can improve connectivity between cities and ensure 24/7 power for industries, investment will follow. The focus on balanced regional development is the most important part. Western UP gets a lot, time for the east to shine! 💪

Watching from abroad. If UP, with its population size, truly becomes a $1 trillion economy, it would be an economic miracle on a global scale. The scale of the budget is impressive. Hope the emphasis on health and education yields long-term human development dividends.
