UP made remarkable progress on SDGs, saw 25-point jump in score over in 5 years: Adityanath
He said the state also climbed 11 spots from the 29th position to the 18th on the national SDG Index, recording the "most significant" improvement by any state during this period, according to an official statement issued after a high-level meeting.
"This is the result of clear policy direction, effective implementation of schemes, and active public participation," Adityanath said.
This achievement is not just about improved scores, it reflects real change reaching the last person in society, he said.
The CM highlighted the crucial role of state-run schemes such as 'Har Ghar Jal', 'Har Ghar Bijli', 'Kanya Sumangala', 'Poshan Abhiyan', 'Mukhyamantri Arogya Yojana', 'Mission Shakti', 'Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana', 'Mission Kayakalp', and 'One District One Product' in achieving SDGs at the grassroots level.
He said these schemes have improved the lives of people and strengthened trust in the system.
Reaffirming the state government's commitment to girls' education and women's safety and empowerment, Adityanath said schemes like 'Mission Shakti' have created greater social awareness. Primary schools are being equipped with better basic facilities, he said.
He underlined that access to healthcare and nutrition, especially in rural areas, has improved.
The chief minister directed officials to implement the SDGs in mission mode at the grassroots level.
Information about all schemes must reach gram panchayats and their benefits should reach the intended beneficiaries in a timely manner. Achieving SDG targets is a shared responsibility of every department, district and panchayat, he said.
Adityanath underscored the importance of accurate and timely data collection, stating that true progress can only be measured with reliable data and directed officials to prepare and publish SDG profiles for all districts.
"Data is not just a record, it is the foundation of policy decisions. Inaccurate or incomplete data neither reflects the real picture nor helps in effective planning," he said.

Standoff with DM: Alld HC stays suspension of Kanpur CMO
Lucknow: The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court has stayed the suspension of Chief Medical Officer (CMO), Kanpur, Dr Haridutt Nemi, who had been placed under suspension by the state govt following a high-profile bureaucratic standoff with district magistrate Jitendra Pratap Singh. The court has granted four weeks to the state govt for filing its counter affidavit. A bench of Justice Manish Mathur passed the order on the writ petition filed by Nemi. The petitioner has challenged the suspension order passed on June 19, 2025 . Petitioner's counsel LP Mishra argued that the CMO was suspended without initiation of any inquiry or in contemplation of enquiry. It was submitted that even otherwise the allegations as levelled in the impugned order, ex-facie would not result in any major penalty and therefore suspension could not have been resorted to in terms of the UP Govt Servants (Discipline and Appeal) Rules 1999. In its order, the court observed, "Prima -facie, submissions advanced by the petitioner's counsel have force and require consideration."

Just a scan away: Mobile organ donation drive to roll out with smart tech
Citizens will soon be able to register as organ donors simply by scanning a QR code on a specially-equipped van that is set to be launched on or before Organ Donation Day on August 3. The van is equipped with a QR-code scanning system. (SOURCED IMAGE) The State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (SOTTO) of Uttar Pradesh has introduced this initiative to boost organ donation awareness and streamline donor registration. The van, which will travel across Uttar Pradesh, is designed not just for awareness campaigns but also serves as a one-stop solution for organ donation pledges. With a built-in scanner system, individuals can instantly access and complete the donor registration process online, eliminating the need for cumbersome paperwork. This innovative step comes as part of a wider set of initiatives championed by Dr Rajesh Harsvardhan, joint director of SOTTO-UP, operating under the department of hospital administration at SGPGIMS, Lucknow. After sustained efforts, repeated proposals and high-level meetings, SOTTO-UP has secured key approvals and funding under the National Organ Transplant Programme (NOTP). SOTTO has secured sanction of Rs1.5 crore for establishing a lung transplant program at King George's Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow. It has also got Rs1.43 crore for launching a renal transplant program at GSVM Medical College, Kanpur. It has also received additional funding for a Multi-Utility Vehicle (MUV) to support logistics and awareness activities This MUV, procured via the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) and branded for organ donation awareness, serves multiple roles: facilitating quick deployment of transplant teams post brain stem death (BSD) declaration, transporting harvested organs, and conducting mobile pledge drives across cities and towns in Uttar Pradesh. 'The van is equipped with a QR-code scanning system, allowing people to pledge their organs in just a few seconds,' said Dr Harsvardhan. 'It's a tech-forward, user-friendly initiative aimed at increasing participation in organ donation.' To ensure long-term functionality, a dedicated, covered parking facility for the vehicle has also been constructed at SGPGIMS by the civil engineering department. The successful rollout of the mobile scanner initiative within a month stands as a milestone for SOTTO-UP, which executed the procurement and infrastructure support efficiently, adhering strictly to institutional and Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) guidelines. This campaign is expected to significantly boost organ donation pledges in the state by taking the message directly to the public—and putting the power to save lives in their hands, quite literally, with a simple scan.
