UP made unprecedented progress in health, proved its

potential in fight against Covid-19: Yogi

Lucknow, Aug 21, 2022:

As Uttar Pradesh today is proceeding to become the most

powerful economy in the country, standards of ‘good

governance’ set during ‘Babuji’s’ (Kalyan Singh) rule have

proved to be the ‘base’ for the state’s progress, said Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday.

Paying his sincere respects to the former UP CM Lt

Kalyan Singh on his first death anniversary, Yogi Adityanath,

unveiled his grand statue and also inaugurated the operation

theatre block of Kalyan Singh Super Specialty Cancer Institute

in the state capital.

Speaking on the occasion, Yogi Adityanath said, “Kalyan

Singh Ji, ‘Babuji’ was a leader in the truest sense, he set the

standards of selfless service and social justice. His contribution

has been unparalleled and will always be remembered as his

government was the one to ensure ‘good governance’ in Uttar

Pradesh after India attained independence.”

Yogi went on to say that Kalyan Singh’s government was

the one that worked for the uplift of all sections —women, poor,

youth, and farmers— without any kind of discrimination along

with keeping the cultural and spiritual heritage of the state

intact.

“Babuji’s government did not only preserve the state’s

glory and heritage at the time when it was undergoing crisis

and when there were riots everywhere due to the policies of the

previous governments, but also was successful in controlling

‘terrorist elements’,” said the CM, adding, “Even though Kalyan

Singhji’s government had a short tenure, it established the form

of an ideal government.”

He further said that this medical institute named after

Kalyan Singhji offering state-of-the-art healthcare facilities

currently has a capacity of 734 beds which is being increased

to 1200. “Yeh Sansthan Babuji ke naam ke anuroop, logo ke

‘kalyan’ ka madhyam banega,” Yogi said.

Highlighting UP’s progress in terms of increasing medical

facilities in the last five years, Yogi said that at a time when the

entire world was struggling with the Covid-19 pandemic, Uttar

Pradesh proved its potential. “In 70 years, only 12 medical

colleges were established in the state, however, in the last five

years, with the efforts of both the central and the state

governments, 35 new medical colleges have come up in the

state,” he pointed out.

Today UP is working dedicatedly to achieve the goal of

‘One District One Medical College’ and all the medical colleges

will be named after great men who contributed to the

development of the state and created history, added Yogi

Adityanath.

Slamming the previous governments, Yogi also said that

the state government is working to realise Babuj’s vision of

‘Samagra Grameen Vikas’ and that is the reason why “rural

areas that used to be submerged in darkness before 2017 ,

today, are illuminated with LED lights.”
