Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday urged the researchers working under Chief Minister’s Fellowship Scheme in aspirational development blocks of the state to work with full commitment, considering themselves ‘connectors’. He also said that research scholars, who will complete their tenure with diligence and commitment and will present the best research management in writing, will be given weightage in government jobs.
“Researchers working on fellowships for three years in their respective development blocks should act as a ‘connect’, linking the public with the welfare schemes of the government. All research scholars should proceed with a common goal of getting 100% participation of their respective blocks in Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan till the end of their research tenure,” Yogi Adityanath said while addressing the scholars during an event on Friday.
“Focus on the work in education, health, farmers, women, and infrastructure in aspirational development blocks. The research scholars, who will complete their tenure of three years with diligence and commitment and will present the best research management in writing, will be given weightage in government jobs along with age relaxation,” the CM added.
Noting that NITI Aayog had selected 112 districts as aspirational districts in 2018, Yogi said, “Eight UP districts — Siddharthnagar, Balrampur, Shravasti, Bahraich, Chandauli, Sonbhadra, Chitrakoot, and Fatehpur — also figured on the list.”
During the event, the CM awarded Rs 2 crore to the Vishunpura Block of Kushinagar for its outstanding performance in the overall delta ranking. Additionally, the Majhgawan Block of Bareilly, Wazirganj Block of Badaun, Behti Block of Ambedkar Nagar, Fatehganj Block of Bareilly, and Sohanv Block of Ballia were granted rewards of 60 lakh rupees each. He also unveiled the ‘Annual Report 2022-23’ showcasing the progress of ambitious development regions.
