Lucknow, February 11

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday marked a milestone by overseeing the presentation of his government's 10th budget, which proposes a significant allocation of over Rs 43,565 crore for new schemes. The Chief Minister highlighted that the 2026-27 plan prioritises economic stability to drive growth across the state.

Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, said, "In the budget, an amount exceeding Rs 43,565 crores has been proposed solely for new schemes. An amount over Rs 2 lakh crores is for capital expenditure... It plays a major role in strengthening the economy, and from here, employment generation will also happen...This is our government's 10th budget, and for the first time, a Chief Minister has had the opportunity to present the 10th budget in a state like Uttar Pradesh."

"In the last 9 years, Uttar Pradesh has made efforts to change its perception... This budget represents those very sentiments... In 9 years, Uttar Pradesh's budget has increased more than threefold. This budget focuses on the safety of women, the capabilities of youth, the welfare of farmers, and employment", Yogi Adityanath added.

Earlier, Uttar Pradesh Finance Minister Suresh Khanna on Wednesday presented the State Budget for 2026-27 in the Legislative Assembly, highlighting what he described as "all-round development" achieved during the previous and current tenures of the Yogi Adityanath government.

Highlighting the state's improved national standing and industrial progress, the Uttar Pradesh Finance Minister cited improved rankings in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

"Uttar Pradesh's ranking in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) India Index has improved from 29th in 2018-2019 to 18th in 2023-2024. The state government successfully organised the fourth Global Investors Summit in February 2024. MoUs worth approximately Rs 50 lakh crore have been signed so far, potentially creating approximately 1 million jobs. Of these, four groundbreaking ceremonies have been held for over 16,000 projects involving an investment of approximately Rs 15 lakh crore," Khanna said while addressing the state assembly.

The Budget Session is scheduled to run from February 9 to February 20, with the state budget for the 2026-27 financial year to be presented on February 11.

Glad to see women's safety as a budget priority. UP needs it. But the real test is whether these funds reach the ground – better street lighting, faster police response, and support systems in every district. Let's see the detailed plan.

The numbers are impressive, no doubt. Budget tripling in 9 years and moving up in SDG rankings from 29th to 18th is progress. But as a farmer's son from western UP, I want to know what exactly "welfare of farmers" means this time. Last year's promises on MSP and timely payments were patchy.

The focus on capital expenditure (over ₹2 lakh crore!) is the key takeaway. That's what builds roads, ports, and power plants – the real backbone for long-term growth. If the MoUs for ₹50 lakh crore actually materialize, it could change UP's economic landscape completely.

A tenth budget is a milestone. The improved investor sentiment is visible. My concern is equitable development. Eastern UP still lags far behind the west and NCR. Hope the new schemes specifically address that imbalance. Jai Hind!

As a teacher in a government school in Varanasi, I read these big numbers every year. What we need on the ground is better school infrastructure, teaching aids, and toilets. I truly hope some of this 43,000 crore finds its way to education meaningfully.
