Jaunpur. The daughter of any poor will not remain unmarried now. The government will arrange for her Kanyadan. When the mass marriage scheme was started, people used to laugh. It was being called an insult to the poor, but we are proud that we have got four lakh couples married so far under the mass marriage scheme in the entire state. In the very first year of the scheme, we got one lakh marriages done.
This is what Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said. He had come to bless the newlyweds in the mass marriage of 1001 couples on the last day of the Jaunpur Mahotsav organized at the royal fort on Wednesday. He further said that the amount of Rs 35 thousand received under the scheme will now become Rs 1 lakh from April 1. Apart from this, the government will also give scooties to meritorious daughters.
He said that this mass program of 1001 couples gives a new height to the Prime Minister’s sentiment of ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’. This double engine government under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi is working without any discrimination. Expressing happiness over Jaunpur’s Imarti getting GI tag, he said that wherever you go, take Imarti from here as a gift.

The CM said that in order to generate employment for the youth, an employment zone will be built in 100 acres in the name of Iron Man Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in every district. Skill development work will be done in this. He said that in the morning session, 1,890 crore rupees of subsidy was given to 1.86 lakh Ujjwala Yojana connection holders in the state.
