GBC@IV is poised not only to expedite industrial growth across the entire state but also to inject fresh momentum into industrial development within every district.
CM Yogi has directed that during the district-level Ground Breaking Ceremony events, exhibitions showcasing the 'One District One Product' (ODOP) initiative be set up. Additionally, the ground verification for ready projects for GBC@IV should be completed with 100 per cent accuracy.
Additionally, presentations during the district events will offer glimpses of the evolving landscape of Uttar Pradesh, transforming into 'Udyam Pradesh,' before investors and local entrepreneurs. Moreover, the main program of GBC@IV in Lucknow will be broadcast live during the district events, ensuring widespread coverage.
The state government organized the UPGIS -2023 in February last year.
Prior to this summit, government ministers and officials initiated dialogues with industries through roadshows held in major global industrial hubs and metropolitan cities. As a result, the state has received investment proposals of approximately Rs 40 lakh crores in the past year. Improved law and order, new policies formulated for various sectors, enhanced transport connectivity, and uninterrupted electricity supply have attracted industrialists from around the world to Uttar Pradesh.
