Speaking during the budget session of the assembly, Adityanath outlined the government’s strategies and emphasized the role of the Maha Kumbh in boosting Uttar Pradesh’s economic growth.
Adityanath stated that the Maha Kumbh Mela would play a significant role in helping Uttar Pradesh achieve its economic goals, estimating that the event will contribute over Rs 3 lakh crore to the state’s economy.

Responding to Sonkar’s question about the government’s specific action plan and timeline for reaching the $1 trillion target, Adityanath revealed that the government had set up an organized strategy to meet the milestone.

Key Contributions From Various Departments
Sonkar had also asked which departments were contributing the most to Uttar Pradesh’s economic target. While the Chief Minister did not provide specifics in his speech, his emphasis on the comprehensive action plan suggests a multi-sector approach, with various departments playing integral roles in driving economic growth.
As Uttar Pradesh continues to position itself as an economic powerhouse within India, the government remains committed to meeting the $1 trillion goal, with strategic initiatives and key events like the Maha Kumbh driving significant growth in the coming years.
