UP CM Yogi Adityanath invites private universities for investment

While interacting with chancellors, vice-chancellors, directors and other representatives of private universities, he said that the investment made in education never goes in vain.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has invited prominent private universities and higher education institution groups of the country to invest in the state.

He interacted with the chancellors, vice-chancellors, directors and other representatives of private universities and higher educational institutions from the south and the central parts of India and said that the investment made in the education never goes in vain, as reported by Free Press Journal.

"A state with a young population like Uttar Pradesh has endless possibilities in the field of education. The private sector should take advantage of this and the government will provide all possible help to the institutions setting up universities in unserved districts," he added.

"Since ancient times, UP has been the main centre of education and Kashi is the best example of this. Kashi, Ayodhya and Mathura have been ancient cities of culture and civilisation. However, in the last few decades, a sense of alienation towards education was seen. But today, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a positive attitude towards education has awakened in the country and the state," he said.

He also added that infrastructure and inter-state connectivity have improved in the state. 

"Before 2017, there were 12 medical colleges in the state but after the efforts of the last six years, today government medical colleges are operational in 45 districts, while 16 are under construction and 16 more medical colleges are being established on PPP mode," he said.
