Uttar Pradesh (UP) Chief Minister (CM) Yogi Adityanath has emerged as a 'Vikas Purush' (growth leader) of the state. UP's all-around rapid growth, spanning its economy, cultural tourism, agriculture production, and the micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) sector in the past seven years, has had the state's policymakers credit it to 'Yoginomics'.
At the recent Business Standard Samriddhi round table held in Lucknow, Awanish Kumar Awasthi, advisor to the UP CM, elaborated upon the tenets of Yoginomics. He said the first step in Yoginomics is the absolute enforcement of the rule of law and zero tolerance for crime.
In August, while addressing the UP Assembly, Adityanath cited data from the National Crime Records Bureau to buttress his claim that the crime rate was lower during the Bharatiya Janata Party government's tenure since 2017 compared to the preceding Samajwadi Party government.
The UP CM said that there has been a decline of 78.17 per cent in cases of robbery, 70 per cent in cases of kidnapping for ransom, 67.42 per cent in riots, and 43.21 per cent in murders.
Second, Awasthi said, was to provide each government department access to the latest technology to facilitate maximum coverage of the government's welfare schemes, both those of the Centre and the UP government. UP should be no. 1 in the number of beneficiaries covered in the central government schemes and ensure cent per cent saturation of schemes of the state government, he said.
Currently, UP is no. 1 in the country in the number of beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. It is the topmost state in the country in the coverage of the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana and also in the Pradhan Mantri Swachh Bharat Yojana.
UP, Awasthi said, is also the no. 1 producer in the country of foodgrain, potato production, milk production, and peas.
