The President is set to inaugurate the newly built state AYUSH University, the first-of-its-kind in Uttar Pradesh.
CM Yogi carried out an aerial survey of the campus before conducting a detailed ground inspection and chairing a review meeting with senior officials.
Emphasizing the importance of the occasion, the CM directed officials to ensure top-notch arrangements for security, sanitation, and public convenience.
"Let the event be so memorable that it remains etched in the President's memories," he said.
CM Yogi closely examined key areas including the helipad, main stage, Swiss cottages/safe houses, audience enclosures, plantation site, and the President's convoy route. He also asked officials to create a model layout of the university highlighting academic buildings, OPD/IPD blocks, and OT units.
During the review meeting held at the university guest house, the chief minister reiterated that there should be zero tolerance for lapses in security.
He stressed maintaining cleanliness across the entire campus, warning that any negligence would be met with strict accountability.
To ensure smooth arrangements for attendees, he instructed that adequate drinking water, sanitation facilities, and parking spaces be provided. CM Yogi also proposed that the President be invited to plant a herbal sapling as part of the ceremony.
The President will also inaugurate multiple academic and healthcare facilities at Mahayogi Gorakhnath University, Gorakhpur (MGUG).

Murmu will inaugurate the university's new academic block, a state-of-the-art auditorium with a seating capacity of 1,500, and a world-class Panchakarma wellness centre featuring 11 cottages. She will also lay the foundation stone for a 1,000-bed girl's hostel on the occasion.
Established in 2021 and inaugurated by then-President Ram Nath Kovind, MGUG has rapidly emerged as a model of modern, employment-oriented education rooted in Indian knowledge systems.
Vice-Chancellor Surinder Singh said that all the courses offered at the university are designed to be employment-generating and research-driven, aligned with the goals of the National Education Policy.
Registrar Pradeep Kumar Rao highlighted the ideological foundation of the university, inspired by the vision of Mahant Digvijaynath and Mahant Avaidyanath, who believed education to be the key to self-reliance and social progress. Chancellor Yogi Adityanath envisions transforming Gorakhpur into a 'Knowledge City' by 2032, with MGUG playing a pivotal role in this transformation.
