Lucknow, Oct 4 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday shared the story of Uttar Pradesh’s development with the people of the state.
On his social media account ‘X’, the CM wrote, “Earlier, Bhadohi's talent had to find its own way, but now the government is opening new doors of growth, markets and opportunities. In the last 10 years, UP's exports have grown 2.27 times to over Rs 2 lakh crore, making it the 5th largest exporting state, with Bhadohi carpets being a major contributor.”
The CM added that the same hands that took Bhadohi’s carpets to the world through their craftsmanship had, before 2017, continued to wait for basic facilities and opportunities.
Today, under the double-engine government, the same craftsmanship is being connected with development and the global market. The demand for Bhadohi’s hand-made carpets is today the highest in the world, earning recognition for UP’s craftsmanship on the global stage, he added.
The CM stated, “Today he will inaugurate the golden jubilee edition of Asia’s largest international handmade carpet trade fair, ‘India Carpet Expo’, and interact with exporters, sellers and entrepreneurs of the carpet industry. Respect for the artisan’s hands, expansion of enterprise, employment for the youth and prosperity for Bhadohi - this is the new identity of the confluence of heritage and development in the new Uttar Pradesh.”
Moreover, CM Yogi further noted that on this occasion, 112 development projects worth more than Rs 1,340 crore to be gifted to the Bhadohi, Aurai and Gyanpur Assembly constituencies, and beneficiaries of various schemes will be provided benefits.
