WB president Ajay Banga to meet CM Yogi

Lucknow, May 8 (UNI) World Bank President Ajay Banga will visit Uttar Pradesh on Friday to witness firsthand the remarkable transformation of the state, now widely recognised as the 'growth engine of the nation', official sources said here on Thursday.
Sources said that Banga's visit reflects the increasing global interest in UP's rapid development under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, as the state moves steadily toward its ambitious goal of becoming a 1 trillion dollar economy.

He is scheduled to participate in a series of meetings and programs at Hotel Taj, including a round table discussion with stakeholders in the presence of Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh.
