  • Not a single child should be deprived of going to school and should not fall prey to communicable diseases: Chief Minister

    Not a single child should be deprived of going to school and should not fall prey to communicable diseases: Chief Minister

    Lucknow (IANS)| Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that no child should be deprived of going to school and no child should fall prey to any communicable disease. This is the responsibility of all of us. Children have to be brought to school, their guardians have to be prepared so that we can make literacy 100 percent within the state.

    Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was speaking on the occasion of the launch of School Chalo Abhiyan-2023 and Communicable Disease Control Campaign on Saturday. On this occasion, the Chief Minister provided free text books to the children of class one to eight. Along with this, report cards were also given to the students who passed in the proficient assessment. School Readiness and Teacher Guide was also released. Apart from this, Rani Laxmibai self-defense training program was also launched under Mission Shakti.

    On the occasion of the beginning of the new academic session, CM Yogi said that Uttar Pradesh has been the focal point of education and health since ancient times. But due to not preparing itself according to the time, at one time Uttar Pradesh was being identified for anarchy, hooliganism, riots, corruption and disorder. The steps taken by the state government during the last 6 years, today its results are being seen in every field. We started the School Chalo campaign on 1st July 2017 in Kukrail. This program was a complete success. I am happy that the number of enrollment of children which was one crore 34 lakh in July 2017 has increased to 1.92 crore today.

    Referring to the changes taking place in the field of education in the state, CM Yogi said that under Operation Kayakalp, public representatives, education department officials, administrative officers, police officers and former students together adopted one school each. In Operation Kayakalp, out of total 1.56 lakh schools, we have covered 1.36 lakh schools with basic facilities as well as smart classes and other facilities. The remaining 20,000 schools are left, which are being linked with these programs in this session. Now the Basic Education Council is adopting the syllabus of NCRT.

    He said that with the beginning of the School Chalo Abhiyan, it becomes our responsibility that every teacher, every headmaster should hold a meeting with all the dignitaries of the ward or gram panchayat in which the school is located, and seek their cooperation. Have a meeting with the parents. It would be good to go door-to-door and screen each house. Study the Gram Panchayat. There are people living in different social and economic conditions. Create a database of them. The school should have the report card of its Gram Panchayat. If possible, the Basic Education Council should prepare a portal for this and take this database from each school. It will also be a case study for a teacher at the local level. From this you will decide how many children are going to school and how many are deprived. Those who are deprived of going to school, for what reasons are they deprived. It should be our endeavor to ensure that the Aadhaar authentication is done at the same time. All District Magistrates should ensure that they prepare a nodal officer who, along with BSA, will take this program forward in every development block and every gram panchayat.

    On communicable diseases, CM Yogi said that Uttar Pradesh is a state of no climatic zone. Different diseases also occur in different areas. You will see that from Kushinagar, Gorakhpur to Terai of Nepal to Saharanpur, encephalitis used to swallow up thousands of children every year in this region. Children from one year to 15 years used to fall prey to it. There was an atmosphere of fear and panic in the minds of the people from July to November-December. Kala-azar used to spread in Varanasi and its surrounding areas. Malaria in Bareilly and surrounding areas, dengue havoc was seen till Lucknow-Kanpur-Mathura. Chikungunya was wreaking havoc in the region of Jhansi and Bundelkhand. The Health Department has run this program within the last 6 years, in which many departments participated. Communicable Disease Control was launched on April 1, 2018, exactly 5 years ago. Government of India and organizations like UNICEF, WHO contributed along with the departments of the state to take these programs to the masses. Today this model of Uttar Pradesh for communicable disease control has come in front of the whole country as a good result.

    Regarding the simultaneous launch of Communicable Disease Control Program and School Chalo Abhiyan, CM Yogi said that most of the children used to fall prey to these diseases. That is why this program of School Chalo Abhiyan and Communicable Disease Control has been organized together. The biggest role in this is cleanliness and pure drinking water. The role of teachers is also important in this. Their job is not limited to teaching the syllabus in the school but also have to interact with the parents.

    Government’s goal is to increase farmers’ income manifold: Yogi

    Gorakhpur (IANS)| Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the aim of the government is to increase the income of farmers manifold. In the direction of prosperity and happiness of the farmers, we have to make the state the leading state of the country. Along with traditional farming, silkworm rearing can become an excellent medium to increase the income of farmers by two to two and a half times. CM Yogi was addressing the farmers and the gathering after inaugurating the silk agriculture fair organized at Yogiraj Baba Gambhirnath Auditorium on Thursday. On this occasion, the Chief Minister dedicated and laid the foundation stone of 18 Chaki rearing buildings, 36 community buildings and 9 threading machine sheds at a cost of Rs 11.38 crore. Along with this, the grant amount was distributed to the beneficiaries for the silkworm rearing house.

    In a program organized by Directorate of Silk Uttar Pradesh and Research Extension Center, Central Silk Board, Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, CM Yogi said, “We need to plan according to the possibilities for development. It has its own uniqueness. Apart from being the largest state in the country’s population, it is also the state that produces the most food grains. The country’s total cultivable land is only 12 percent here, but UP contributes 20 percent to the country’s total food grain production. It represents the potential of Uttar Pradesh, its soil fertility, its water resources. There are 9 climatic zones in Uttar Pradesh. Different crops grow here at different times.”

    The Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi believes that India cannot be made prosperous without increasing the income of food providers. To increase the income of food giver, efforts will have to be made to increase per capita income. New methods have to be adopted. In this sequence, we are moving towards natural farming. He suggested the farmers to plant mulberry on their farm ridges to earn additional income. Take care of him for five years. After this, you can increase your income by opening a silkworm rearing center at home with mulberry leaves. He said that by joining silkworm rearing, farmers can earn additional income ranging from Rs 80 thousand to Rs 1.25 lakh in one acre of land.

    The Chief Minister said that there is a requirement of 3000 tonnes of silk in UP, but the production is only 350 tonnes. From this point of view, UP is such a big market for silk producers. Here, every person tries to bid farewell to his daughter by wearing a Varanasi silk saree in her marriage. There are Banarasi sarees ranging from 45 thousand to 2.5 lakh on the stall of the fair. This is an example of a thriving silk market. In such a situation, farmers can convert their resolution of self-reliance into achievement by joining silk production.

    The Chief Minister said that the government has made good efforts regarding silk production in the state. According to the climatic zone, the land in the Terai region of Nepal has been found most suitable. Presently 60 tonnes of silk is produced in four districts of Gorakhpur division. The government is standing with the farmers here to realize their potential, this production can be up to 600 tonnes. He said that by increasing production, we can stop silk coming from China. For this, attention has to be paid to technology, training and innovation. Apart from encouraging the silk producing farmers, the government is also connecting them with training and technology.

    CM Yogi said that ten days back PM Modi has announced PM Mitra Mega Textile Park for Hardoi. Everyone will get the benefit of this mega park to be built on 11-1200 acres.

    Rakesh Sachan, Minister of MSME, Khadi, Village Industries, Silk, Handloom and Textiles Department said that consumption of silk is very high in Uttar Pradesh. Three thousand tonnes of silk is consumed in Varanasi whereas silk is not produced there. He said that to increase the production and supply of silk in Uttar Pradesh, the state government has entered into an agreement with the Karnataka government. In Karnataka, 1.25 lakh tonnes of cocoon and 80 thousand tonnes of silk thread are made. As per the agreement, the weavers here have got original silk from Karnataka.

    On this occasion, Dr. Navneet Sehgal, Additional Chief Secretary, Silk Development Department, highlighting the objectives of the event, said that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has special attention on increasing the income of farmers. This silk agriculture fair is an effort to make farmers aware and give them an option to earn additional income. He informed that silk production is being done in 57 districts of UP. After scientific study, it has now been targeted to increase silk production intensively in 31 climate-friendly districts. So far, silk production has been increasing only on agricultural farms, now efforts are being made to take it to the common farmers. Farmers can also do silkworm rearing along with their farming. It is a very profitable crop. He informed that a silk exchange has also been opened in Varanasi to promote silk business.
