The Yogi government in Uttar Pradesh with effective implementation of Pradhanmantri Jan Vikas Karyakram has worked in the direction of socio-economic-educational empowerment of Minorities and other weaker sections of the society.


The state government, conforming to its commitment of empowerment without appeasement and development without discrimination, has carried out the development work under the scheme in a planned and phased manner. Facilities like basic education, technical education, health, drinking water, skill development, housing among others are being provided to the minority community under the scheme. 


Under the PMJVK, 47 minority dominated districts with more than 25 percent population have been identified in the state, on the basis of the 2011 census. About 145 development blocks, 89 municipalities / nagar panchayats and 15 district headquarters have been identified in these 47 districts, where the development work is being carried out.


To ensure educational empowerment of the minorities, the state government has completed the construction work of 47 Inter Colleges in Uttar Pradesh. The fund for the arrangement of furniture etc. in all the Inter Colleges was issued by the Central government.

Drinking water facilities were provided for the people of that area through 64 drinking water projects.
