Sarojini Nagar showcases development in all sectors: Yogi
The CM says projects worth ₹32,000 crore have either been completed or are under progress in the constituency
Chief minister Yogi Adityanath said the Sarojni Nagar assembly constituency showcased progress in all sectors.
“Sarojini Nagar is transforming with development projects that include state-of-the-art highways, metro expansion, and airport facilities. The constituency is also recognised for the defense corridor, Aerospace City and AI City, even as an AI-based data centre is set to be inaugurated here in July,” he noted.
The combination of vibrant colors and development initiatives has made Holi in the constituency brighter and joyful, he said.
The CM was speaking at the ‘3 Years of Excellence, Sarojini Nagar Gratitude Day’ event organised by Sarojni Nagar MLA Dr Rajeshwar Singh at the Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Law University auditorium here on Monday.
He inaugurated and laid the foundation stones of multiple development projects, and also visited Sarojini Nagar Samvad and Development Exhibition.
The chief minister announced that projects worth ₹32,000 crore had either been completed or were under progress in the constituency. The projects include a ₹1,200 crore convention center with a seating capacity of 10,000 people, a defense corridor, a forensic institute and a medical facility comparable to SGPGI.
Lauding the efforts of Dr Singh, the CM said: “I’m impressed by the ground-level efforts made by him for the development of the region and the welfare of the people.
He emphasized that such a commitment was the essence of democracy.
Congratulating the people of Sarojini Nagar, the CM recalled that Dr Singh was elected to represent the constituency on this day three years ago, and since then, the region had witnessed remarkable progress.
The CM also said in Monday’s cabinet meeting discussions were held to organise exhibitions in all districts to mark the BJP government’s eighth anniversary on March 25. “The model for these exhibitions is yet to be finalized by the state government but the exhibition organised in Sarojni Nagar gives a glimpse of a model for the anniversary event,” he said, adding similar exhibitions should be organised in all assembly constituencies.
“Dr Rajeshwar Singh has made the seamless transition from a bureaucrat and an ED officer to a dedicated public servant,” he said and praised Dr Singh’s assertive communication with the public, effective coordination with the organisation and government and innovative efforts in implementing government and CSR schemes.
“Several welfare schemes were initiated in Sarojini Nagar, including the distribution of sewing machines to women, job placements for youth through skill development centres, and the provision of bicycles, computer tablets, and sports kits to meritorious students through sports youth clubs,” he noted.
The CM added: “The spirit of the Mahakumbh should be spread to every home... Prayagraj Mahakumbh is an example of unity, where 66.30 crore devotees from across the country and the world gathered without the feeling of discrimination.”
The message of unity spreading to every home and village will help India progress to becoming a developed nation and a guiding force for the world, he said.
