Gorakhpur, March 8 (Reporter) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated on Friday that the era of industrialisation has ushered in Dakshinanchal of Gorakhpur, including Dhuriyapar, and this development defies earlier perceptions that deemed this area incapable of progress.
Addressing a public meeting after inaugurating Indian Oil's Compressed Bio Gas (CBG) plant at Dhuriapar, the Chief Minister said, "The inauguration of the first CBG plant in eastern Uttar Pradesh and Gorakhpur, located at Usar in Dhuriapar, marks a significant milestone for our industrial landscape. This plant will not only generate employment opportunities for the youth but also enhance the income of our farmers."
Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri was present on the occasion.
The Chief Minister also launched development projects worth more than Rs 222 crore for the Bansgaon Lok Sabha constituency. This includes the inauguration of 20 development projects valued at more than Rs 68 crore and the laying of the foundation stone for 17 projects worth over Rs 154 crore.
Yogi said the CBG plant exemplifies the transformation of waste into wealth, ultimately augmenting the income of farmers. "This endeavour will actualise the proverb 'aam ke aam, guthliyon ke daam'."
Reflecting on the past, Yogi recalled how decades ago, the sugar mill in Dhuriapar struggled to operate due to the scarcity of sugarcane, leading many to believe that progress was unattainable. "But, in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision, the industry is flourishing here now," he said.
Highlighting the unprecedented development in Dhuriapar, the Chief Minister said, "Previously, the notion of Dhuriapar's development seemed inconceivable. Yet, today, industries thrive, roads expand, flood protection measures are in place, and farmers benefit from various schemes such as Kisan Samman Nidhi. Furthermore, 1.75 crore Ujjwala Yojana gas connections have been provided in Uttar Pradesh, with free gas cylinders distributed during Holi and Diwali, benefiting the underprivileged."
He mentioned that Dakshinanchal is being linked to GIDA through the Gorakhpur Link Expressway of the Purvanchal Expressway. "Its work is in the final stage. Simultaneously, the construction of Ramjanaki Marg is progressing rapidly. With the expansion of GIDA, Dakshinanchal is poised to enter a new era. This development will enable local youth to find employment opportunities within the region, eliminating the need to seek jobs elsewhere. Moreover, it is anticipated that individuals from across the nation and the globe will flock to Dakshinanchal for employment," he said.
He highlighted that among the 120 individuals employed at the CBG plant, some hail from Gorakhpur, while others come from Lucknow, Jhansi, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Bengal. "Skill development initiatives will further enhance opportunities for local youth. Additionally, farmers stand to increase their income by supplying stubble, while cattle herders can benefit from supplying cow dung," he said.
Yogi said that PM Modi's intention is also to increase the income of farmers. He said that when the farmer is content, the nation will prosper.
He emphasized that the CBG plant will play a crucial role in conserving nature and the environment. "The stubble, which was previously burnt, will now be utilized here, providing additional income to farmers. Moreover, the organic fertilizer produced will contribute to the health of Mother Earth. Embracing organic fertilizers will ensure the sustained fertility of our fields," he said.
Asserting that under PM Modi's leadership, the world witnessed a new India characterized by progress, faith, security, and abundant livelihood opportunities for the youth, Yogi urged citizens to re-elect the Modi government. He emphasized that this would accelerate the pace of development and help realize the vision of a prosperous India.
In addition to inaugurating the CBG plant, Yogi, accompanied by Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, inspected the plant premises and examined the model showcased at the venue. He also planted saplings on the campus...////...
