The Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government has announced a colossal investment of Rs 1,24,389 crore for the Purvanchal region, traditionally considered one of the most underdeveloped areas in the country. This ambitious initiative is set to kick off during the upcoming Ground Breaking Ceremony (GBC).

Of particular interest is the allocation of the lion’s share of this investment to three districts in the region—Sonbhadra, Mirzapur, and Chandauli—formerly known for their Naxalite presence.

A staggering 30 projects, collectively valued at Rs 54,042 crore, will be rolled out in Sonbhadra, while Chandauli is slated to receive 46 projects worth Rs 16,161 crore, and Mirzapur will witness the launch of 46 projects worth Rs 5,957 crore.

The Purvanchal region has become increasingly attractive to entrepreneurs under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath‘s leadership. The development landscape has transformed with the introduction of new expressways, airports, inland waterways, and enhanced rail connectivity, fostering a conducive environment for economic growth.

Improved electricity supply, a reinforced law and order situation, and the dismantling of the mafia’s grip on the region have opened doors to prosperity in Purvanchal. Following the successful UP Global Investors Summit in February, the Yogi government is now gearing up for the groundbreaking ceremony, further signaling its commitment to fostering economic development.

The investment wave extends beyond major cities, capturing the attention of investors in smaller districts as well. Varanasi, Prayagraj, and Gorakhpur are set to witness substantial investments of Rs 13,949 crore, Rs 10,087 crore, and Rs 7,041 crore, respectively, through 105 projects, 249 projects, and 130 projects.

Similarly, other districts in Purvanchal are not left behind, with Ghazipur poised for 85 projects worth Rs 527 crore, Jaunpur for 90 projects worth Rs 2,299 crore, Bhadohi for 35 projects worth Rs 254 crore, Mau for 39 projects worth Rs 929 crore, Azamgarh for 93 projects worth Rs 595 crore, and Ballia for 33 projects worth Rs 1,586 crore—all during the groundbreaking ceremony.

Moreover, substantial investments are lined up for Deoria (Rs 711 crore through 66 projects), Kushinagar (Rs 635 crore through 54 projects), Maharajganj (Rs 572 crore through 83 projects), Sant Kabirnagar (Rs 484 crore through 25 projects), and Basti (Rs 1,339 crore through 90 projects).

This massive investment in Purvanchal is expected to generate substantial employment opportunities, ushering in a new era of growth and prosperity for the region.
