City to get state-of-the-art hosp on lines of AIIMS: Deputy CM
Prayagraj: Deputy chief minister Brajesh Pathak has said though there is no AIIMS in Prayagraj, preparations are underway to build a state-of-the-art hospital in the city with medical facilities equivalent to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences. Superspecialist doctors will soon be appointed in Bailey and Colvin hospitals. The municipal corporation has been made its nodal agency. Addressing a press conference on Friday, he said the state govt is in the process of filling 2,100 vacant posts in the health department through advertisement, and 532 doctors will be deployed in the hospitals soon. Pathak was in the city to attend the conclusion of a mock parliament organised to mark the completion of 50 years of Emergency. He remarked that "the country can never forget the atrocities committed by Congress by imposing Emergency in the country. This was the period when even the freedom of the press was abolished. Congress strangled the constitution. Congress is hungry for power, and this party is misleading the public. Congress and SP are individualistic parties". Highlighting the achievements of the UP govt, he said since 2017, the state has witnessed remarkable progress in resources and law and order, with Uttar Pradesh now topping the 'One District One Product' initiative.

Addressing media persons at the District Panchayat auditorium after the conclusion of a mock parliament event commemorating 50 years since the Emergency, Brajesh Pathak said that the state government also plans to appoint superspecialist doctors at both Tej Bahadur Sapru (Beli) and Motilal Nehru Divisional (Colvin) hospitals of Prayagraj. The state government is working to fill 2,100 vacancies in the health department through a public recruitment drive. Of these, 532 doctors will be deployed to hospitals in the near future, he said. He highlighted that since 2017, Uttar Pradesh has seen remarkable improvements in both infrastructure and law and order. The state now ranks number one in the 'One District, One Product' (ODOP) initiative, he said. Referring to the Emergency imposed by the Congress in 1975, he stated that the country would never forget the injustices committed during that time, including the suppression of press freedom. He accused Congress of strangling the Constitution and described the party as power-hungry and misleading the public. Calling both Congress and the Samajwadi Party personality-driven outfits, he criticised their leadership styles. On the allegations against Dr Rashmi Verma, Chief Medical Officer of Gonda, he stated that action would be taken after reviewing the relevant documents. Regarding the incident involving religious speakers in Etawah, he said the matter has become a major challenge for the Samajwadi Party.

UP govt has transformed MSME sector in state: Dy CM
1 2 3 Lucknow: Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak on Thursday termed the small-scale industries the catalyst of nation-building and said the UP govt has worked very hard on this front over the past few years. "Since BJP got the chance to serve the people of UP in 2017, the investment and business ecosystem of the state changed for the better. This journey of transformation would continue with concerted efforts and contributions of all stakeholders," he said at the ASSOCHAM MSME conclave. State MSME minister Shri Rakesh Sachan said the aim of the state govt is to make the sector the most employment-generating one. "While on one hand, the govt eliminated barriers that prevented business expansion, on the other hand it came up with policies that boost business activity," he said, adding that the focus is to raise a skilled workforce now. State finance minister Suresh Khanna said the efforts made by the govt can yield fruits only when the govt banks also become liberal for this sector. Khanna said the Yogi govt has been making continuous efforts to encouraging small and medium industries through One District One Product (ODOP), Unity Mall, Chief Minister Yuva Udyami Yojana etc. Advisor to CM, Awanish Awasthi stressed the need for the representatives to know the policies of the govt. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Köln: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo "The govt has made all kinds of platforms and arrangements, but due to a lack of awareness, entrepreneurs are not able to take advantage of them," he said. Minister of state (independent charge) Kapil Dev Agarwal interacted with members of the business community to clear their doubts and offer solutions to their problems. Additional CEO, Invest UP, Shashank Chaudhary, said the state's formidable base in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises—which was one of the highest concentrations of MSMEs in India—was a testament to its thriving entrepreneurial spirit and deep-rooted business ecosystem. "Complimented with demographic dividend, business-friendly ecosystem, strong resolve, and leadership, UP has become a magnet of investment. The MSME players of the state shall continue to reap benefits from it," he said, urging younger people to become job-givers instead of chasing the line of jobseekers.
