Lack of resources will not hinder youth's talent: Yogi

Lucknow, Nov 15 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said his government is committed to ensuring that a lack of resources does not become an obstacle to the talent and progress of the state's youth.
In a post on social media platform X, Adityanath said today's youth wanted to make their mark in the world through their talent and hard work and needed better opportunities and access to modern resources.
He alleged that previous governments in the state had kept the youth entangled in caste, regional and nepotism-based politics instead of focusing on their future. They had also failed to take concrete steps to connect young people with modern technology, he said.
The chief minister said the BJP government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has worked to change the situation.In line with the vision of Digital India, smartphones and tablets have been distributed to more than six million youths so far under the Swami Vivekananda Youth Empowerment Scheme, he said.
Adityanath said the next phase of the initiative, involving the distribution of an additional 2.5 million tablets, would be launched from Lucknow on Sunday.
The initiative is aimed at providing young people with better opportunities in education, employment and skill development by connecting them with modern technology and digital resources, he said.
The state government wants every youth to script a success story through hard work, talent and determination, the chief minister said.
Empowering young people through technology and providing them with the necessary resources to progress remain the government's priorities, he added.
He also extended his best wishes to the beneficiaries of the tablet distribution scheme.
