Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who inaugurated the UP Pavilion at the India International Trade Fair in New Delhi on Saturday, said that Uttar Pradesh has become a key hub for the MSME sector.

“Uttar Pradesh was once untouched by development and viewed as a barrier to India's progress. However, the situation has completely changed. Today, UP is a key hub for the country's MSME sector, with 96 lakh micro, small, and medium enterprises,” CM Yogi Adityanath told the gathering while targeting the previous governments.

According to him, it has transformed the lives of millions of UP entrepreneurs through this project, besides generating employment opportunities for the youths.

He also added the India International Trade Fair, the largest trade fair in Asia, provides Indian MSME entrepreneurs a significant platform to showcase their products to the world. He also recalled that his government has been promoting UP's products through the UP International Trade Show, held in Greater Noida since the last one year.
