Announcing the event in New Delhi, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath says the State has set a goal to become a $1 trillion economy
Uttar Pradesh has set a target of attracting investment of ₹10 lakh crore through the Uttar Pradesh Global Investors Summit-2023, said Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath while formally announcing the schedule of the ambitious event in the national capital on Tuesday.
In a bid to make Uttar Pradesh the growth engine of India’s development, Mr. Adityanath said the State had set a goal of becoming a $1 trillion economy, following the Prime Minister’s plan to grow India’s economy to $5 trillion. The summit is expected to help the State in achieving the goal. “Our government is organising a Global Investors Summit in Lucknow from February 10 to 12, 2023, so that the country and the world can benefit from the immense business opportunities available in the State,” Mr. Adityanath said.
Inviting everyone to join “new India’s new Uttar Pradesh” in its journey towards growth and development, Mr. Adityanath noted that U.P.’s business climate has significantly improved over time as a result of offering effective policy assistance and top-notch infrastructure.
Giving information about the preparations for the summit, the Chief Minister said so far 21 countries have expressed their enthusiasm to participate in the event. The partner countries include the Netherlands, Denmark, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and Mauritius.
In the run-up to the event, the State government will be organising road shows in 18 countries and seven major cities of India to invite investors from all over the world.
For the ‘ease of investors’, Mr. Adityanath also launched an ‘Online Incentive Management Portal’ and ‘Customer Relationship Management Portal (Nivesh Sarathi)’ on the day.
Earlier, in the presence of ambassadors, high commissioners, and business leaders, the CM underlined that U.P. was the biggest market of labour and consumers, and went on to state that the environment of the State was favourable for industrial development.
“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
