"Awaken 5 children around you about computers and AI. Dedicate at least one hour every week for 'Gyan Daan'. - CM Yogi Adityanath"

Lucknow, Dec 30

Ahead of ringing in the New Year, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday wrote an open letter to state residents on the AI and governance milestones achieved in 2025, urging youth to take a pledge to spread computer awareness among kids in next year.

"I would like my young companions to take a special resolution for the year 2026. Awaken 5 children around you about computers and AI. Dedicate at least one hour every week for 'Gyan Daan' (knowledge donation)," wrote CM Aditynanath in the letter signed by him and uploaded on the social media.

In his letter, the Chief Minister said, "This is the time to enter the English year 2026. The year 2025 will be remembered for establishing new benchmarks of innovation in technology, AI, and data. Uttar Pradesh is forging new standards of forward-looking development."

The reign of good governance in the state has empowered 'Brand UP' across the world. Uttar Pradesh has now become a state of trust for investors, he said.

Highlighting the BJP government's focus on improving law and order in the state, CM Adityanath said, "Investments can be secure only when society and the state are safe. The state's good governance has strengthened 'Brand UP' worldwide. Uttar Pradesh has now become a state of investor confidence."

Shedding light on future plans on innovation in technology, AI, and data, the Chief Minister said, "Preparations are underway to establish 'AI City' in Lucknow and Noida. A semiconductor unit is being constructed in Jewar at a cost of Rs 3,700 crore. The success of the data centre policy, made with 'Swadeshi Centre, Secure Data' in mind, is beginning to show positive results."

"Commercial use of 5 hyperscale data centre parks has begun. The target is to invest Rs 30,000 crore in the data centre sector. Software technology parks have been established in 9 cities. We are also setting new records in drones, robotics and mobile production. Ten lakh citizens are being given AI training through 'AI Pragya'. Thousands of new jobs are being created," he wrote.

Seeking citizens' cooperation, CM Adityanath said a joint effort with the government can realise the dream of 'Viskit Uttar Pradesh'.

I appreciate the focus on tech, but I hope this 'AI Pragya' training reaches the smaller towns and villages of UP, not just Lucknow and Noida. The digital divide is real. Also, "Swadeshi Centre, Secure Data" is a good slogan, but we need to see the implementation details to ensure data privacy.

As someone from Meerut who just got a job in a Noida tech park, I can see the change. Roads are better, there's a sense of safety at night which wasn't there before. If the semiconductor unit in Jewar comes up, it will be huge. UP is finally on the map for something other than politics!

The 'Gyan Daan' concept is beautiful – dedicating one hour a week to teach kids about computers. It reminds me of community teaching initiatives elsewhere. Building an "AI City" is an ambitious goal. Hope the execution matches the vision and creates sustainable, high-quality jobs.

All these big numbers - Rs 30,000 crore, Rs 3,700 crore - sound impressive. But what about the basics? In my city, power cuts still disrupt online classes. Tech boom is good, but let's not forget to fix the fundamental infrastructure first. A balanced approach is needed.

My brother got trained through a government skill program and now works with drones! It's life-changing for our family. If 'AI Pragya' can do this for thousands more, it's a great step. The focus should be on quality training that leads to actual employment
