Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has set a target to achieve one trillion dollar economy for the state. Deoria, known for its fertile land is planning to contribute an additional ₹10,000 crore to the state economy in the next 10 years.
Sharing the border with Bihar, Deoria is known for growing sugarcane, wheat, and rice with major rivers such as the Ghaghara, Rapti, and Chhoti Gandak flowing through it.
To meet the chief minister’s target, the Member of Parliament of Deoria, Shashank Mani Tripathi has launched Amrit Prayas (nectar effort), a 10-year strategy aimed to generate employment, create new opportunities, substantially increase the per capita income and provide an ease of doing business for entrepreneurs in the Deoria Lok Sabha constituency.
Shashank Mani, Member of Parliament, Deoria said the Amrit Prayas endeavour is to create an additional GDP of ₹10,000 crore for Deoria over the next 10 years.
The objective is to generate prosperity for the 2.8 million citizens of the constituency and in turn fulfil the mission of Viksit Deoria Lok Sabha constituency under the leadership of the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister, he said.
The Amrit Prayas strategy was formulated over 4 months and keeping in line with the Sabka Prayas philosophy, inputs were received from over 2,000 stakeholders, which included constituency and state leaders, citizens, business owners, social institutions, the district administration and the state planning division. Inputs were also taken from the Union Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI) and Niti Ayog.
The strategy will be implemented by the Deoria Development Alliance or Viksit Deoria Manch, which is a group of individuals, institutions, enterprises and companies that were consulted during the strategy formulation.
