ABSTRACT

For all round development of any state it is necessary that resultant economic and social

benefits of development reach all sections of society. The policy and planning of the state

should be such that there is improvement in the living standard of people across all sections

to enable them to lead a dignified life.

Infrastructure and industrial development is key to the development of state. Like most other

state of India, U.P. also have a largely agriculture based economy. Agriculture provides

employment 70% of the work force of the state and it, contribution to the states G.D.P. is

around 25%.

It is an established principle that for advanced development structure changes in the economy

are required from Agriculture Sector (Primary sector) to Industries sector and thereafter from

Industries to services (Tertiary Sector).

According in the new Policy, special emphasis has been laid on encouraging investment both

in infrastructure and industry.

High end quality infrastructure facilities are absolutely essentials for development of the U.P.

As a result of availability of quality infrastructure, industries get established with less capital

investment a can function without impediments.

seeds, urea’s and equipments at the subsidies rate.



5- To promote tourism at various place with, related products of cities like Varanasi –

Banarasi Sari, Silk, Bhodohi- Carpet.

6- To Promote PPP project in less developed part of Uttar Pradesh power are the major

problems for the development in the infrastructure / industries in Uttar Pradesh so, to

invite to private players to invest in the energy sector and ensure uninterrupted power

supply.

7- For the up-gradation of production & supply, provide skill courses at the level of

Central & State government and provide employment oriented training in vocational

skills.
