Lucknow, Sept 2025 : Under the “Samarth Uttar Pradesh – Vikasit Uttar Pradesh @2047” campaign, nodal officers and eminent individuals visited all 75 districts of the state up to September 26, 2025. They engaged with students, teachers, entrepreneurs, farmers, business leaders, voluntary organisations, labour unions, media representatives, and the broader public. During these interactions, the development journey of the past eight years was highlighted, and citizens were invited to share their vision for the future.

As of Friday, around 8.25 lakh residents have contributed their suggestions, with 6.3 lakh from rural areas
and 1.75 lakh from urban areas. By age group 4.5 lakh suggestions from people aged 31–60, 3.5 lakh from youth under 31, and 50,000 from citizens above 60.

Over 65,000 feedback were received from Maharajganj district, 35,000 from Kanpur Dehat, and 34,000 from Sambhal.

Vimal Kumar (Sitapur) said, “Strengthening village panchayats is vital to make Uttar Pradesh prosperous by 2047. Improved transportation and digital connectivity should form the foundation of growth. Better roads and internet access would help rural communities connect with government schemes, education, healthcare, and job opportunities.”

Sabnam (Hapur) said, “To make India a global tourism leader by 2047, a balance between cultural heritage, natural beauty, and modern amenities is essential. This includes clean and secure historical sites, rural tourism, eco-tourism, and medical tourism. Promoting local arts, handicrafts, and cuisine will create jobs. Digital platforms and smart guidance tools should make information easily accessible for tourists, ensuring sustainable and modern tourism development.”

Preeti Keshari (Kanpur Dehat) said, “Good roads and transport infrastructure are crucial for education, healthcare, and daily life. Widening access roads to schools will improve safety, ease children’s access to education, and accelerate rural development.”

Santosh Kumar (Lucknow) said, “An animal ambulance with trained veterinary teams should be available at each block level. The toll-free number 1962 for animal emergencies needs faster response and wider publicity, as most people are unaware of it.”
