Rural Development and Employment
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has described small industries as the backbone of the state’s economy. He said that employment generation and economic self-reliance of families is possible only through small industries. The Uttar Pradesh government launched the One District One Product Scheme in 2018.
Through which traditional industries have been encouraged. As a result of this scheme, the state’s exports have increased 250 times. Apart from this, under the MSME policy, entrepreneurs do not need any NOC for 1000 days. Which is helping them in setting up business.
The tourism development of Karubaba Bhagwan Temple located in Chandaura village panchayat of the Naraini development block of the district will be done with the efforts of regional MLA Ommani Verma.
Similarly, the tourism development of the birthplace of Rishi Vedvyas located in Gram Panchayat Lasda/Vasdhari has been approved by Minister of State for Jal Shakti/MLA Tindwari Ramkesh Nishad. To remove the plight of tourist places, the government had sought action plans from all the districts of Bundelkhand.
In some places, financial approval was not received for a long time. Recently, financial approval has been received. In Banda district, 6 projects have been approved in the financial year 2024-25 under the Tourism Department. Special schemes have also been made for employment generation in urban areas.
Under the proposal, urban local bodies have been given the responsibility of decentralised employment generation. In this, employment opportunities are being provided to local youth in urban waste collection, sanitation, and construction of public infrastructure.This is reducing urban unemployment and improving the cleanliness of cities.
