As someone who has worked in Singapore, their urban planning and digital economy are world-class. A partnership focusing on data centres and skill development is exactly what UP's youth need to compete globally. Good to see the focus on future-ready sectors.

MoUs are signed all the time. The real test is implementation. We've seen many such announcements in the past. I sincerely hope this time the projects see the light of day and don't get stuck in our infamous red tape. The employment generation promise is crucial.

Hyperscale data centres in UP! That's huge for the state's tech profile. It will attract more IT companies to set up offices in Noida, Lucknow, and Prayagraj. This is the kind of development that changes a state's destiny. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Skill development partnership is the most important part. Singapore's ITE model is excellent for vocational training. If we can replicate that in UP's ITIs, it will solve the biggest problem of skilled manpower for these new industries. A very practical focus.

While attracting foreign investment is good, I hope the state government also ensures that the benefits reach the local communities and small businesses, not just large corporations. Inclusive growth should be the ultimate goal of such partnerships.
