Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said women's health, education and empowerment are vital to the country's future. He cited improvements in school facilities and girls' education since 2017, including basic amenities in more than 96% of primary schools and a dropout rate below 3%.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said women's health, education and empowerment were essential to securing the country's present and brightening its future, citing changes in school infrastructure and girls' access to education under his government.
In a post on X, Adityanath described Maa Skandamata, a form of Maa Bhagwati, as the presiding deity of affection, motherly love and nourishment. He said the goddess's worship carried a message that the nation's present would be secure and its future bright when women were healthy, educated and empowered.
The Chief Minister said investment in girls' education was an investment in their confidence and the state's future. His post set out improvements in school facilities and lower dropout rates as evidence of changes since 2017.
He said that, over the past nine and a half years, the state government had created a comprehensive framework for safety and welfare, covering a girl's journey from birth and education to safe motherhood. According to the Chief Minister, many girls had earlier been compelled to leave school because basic facilities were lacking.
These assessments and comparisons were made in the Chief Minister's post on X. The statement did not provide supporting datasets or further details about the measures used to calculate the reported changes.
The Chief Minister said Atal Residential Schools were providing modern residential education to girls from workers' families and disadvantaged communities. He added that Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas had expanded educational facilities up to Class 12, giving girls more opportunities to complete their schooling.
The measures were presented as parts of a broader welfare framework linking girls' education with maternal health and safe motherhood. Adityanath said investment in education helped build girls' confidence and strengthen the state's future.
His post contrasted conditions before 2017 with developments he attributed to the government over the subsequent nine and a half years. The statement focused on school infrastructure, access to residential education and reduced dropout rates, alongside its claims about maternal and infant health. It did not set out new policy announcements or timelines for expansion. The post did not announce a new scheme, specify an implementation timetable, or provide independent data beyond the figures and claims cited by the Chief Minister.
