Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 17 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched the logo and website of Maa Vindhyavasini University, Mirzapur, at his official residence in Lucknow.

Maa Vindhyavasini University is a newly established state university by the Government of Uttar Pradesh, envisioned to transform the landscape of higher education in the Vindhya region.

Earlier, during a visit to Mirzapur in March, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath highlighted the district’s transformation over the past decade, crediting the progress to the double-engine model of governance.

Emphasising the significance of the Maa Vindhyavasini Corridor project, the Chief Minister noted that it had led to a fivefold increase in revenue within a year. He made these remarks during a district-level event focused on service, security, and good governance.

‘District-level events are being held on service, security, and good governance of the double-engine government. I received the opportunity to participate in these events. In the last 10 years, Mirzapur district has transformed. The Bansagar project has been completed, Maa Vindhyavasini has been constructed, and we have also allocated funds for the Vindhyavasini temple area.’

‘I am happy to tell you that the work that has been done here in the last eight to ten years is a result of that, that the revenue through the temple corridor here has grown five times within a year. Had the Maa Vindhyavasini corridor not been there, the burden of the crowd here due to Prayagraj’s Mahakumbh would have made it difficult. But the corridor project went ahead in a timely manner,’ he added.

Addressing a public gathering at an exhibition highlighting his government’s achievements over the past eight years, the Chief Minister also underlined the role of faith in driving economic growth.

He stated that the development of religious corridors, such as that of Maa Vindhyavasini, has already drawn lakhs of visitors and contributed significantly to the region’s development.
