Purvanchal Expressway, Medical College Now Identity of the Region: CM Yogi Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday reiterated that the state government was determined to develop infrastructure and build medical facilities in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, asserting that Purvanchal Expressway and Maharshi Vishwamitra Medical College have now become identity tags of the Ghazipur district.

Talking to the media, on a visit to the area, the Chief Minister told, "The Purvanchal Expressway and Maharshi Vishwamitra Medical College have located this district. These are not development schemes—these are lifelines that will elevate the people of this area."

On his day outing, CM Yogi also visited the construction site of a new nursing college. He emphasized that this new college would be offering much-needed health education and fill the gap of trained nursing personnel in the region.

This new nursing college will provide empowerment to our youth, particularly young women, by opening new avenues in the healthcare industry. We want to impart quality medical education on a bigger scale in rural Uttar Pradesh," he added.

The Chief Minister also announced that development projects worth ₹1,100 crore have been approved or are in progress in the district. They cover development of infrastructure, healthcare, and employment generation initiatives.

He clarified that the emphasis of the state government is not just on big-ticket projects but last-mile delivery too. "Each project, whether it is a road, a hospital, or a school, is being overseen personally to complete on schedule and deliver maximum benefit to the masses," he claimed.

The natives have long prayed that these projects would not only urbanize Ghazipur but achieve socio-economic long-term impact in the area.

As the Yogi government prepares itself for round II of growth, the focus is still trained on Eastern UP—a hinterland which is fast becoming a new growth center in the state development master plan.
