Under the leadership of Minister of State for Basic Education (Independent Charge) Sandeep Singh, the Basic Education Department conducts this four-day residential training, where teachers are trained in various disciplines.
The objective behind the initiative is to develop these schools into skill centres as per the guidelines of the National Education Policy 2020. The program aims to help students understand complex subjects like science and mathematics and familiarize them with vocational skills.
Promoting the holistic development of students is also a key goal. The aim of this initiative is not just to shape them as academicians, but to provide them with opportunities to develop their practical life skills as well.
In 2022, the pilot project of this program was implemented in 60 schools across 15 districts in which students learned skills in more than 60 activities through four major trades (Engineering and Workshop, Energy and Environment, Agriculture, Nursery and Gardening and Home and Health Care). This effort resulted in a significant increase in students’ practical understanding and interest in these subjects.
Minister of State for Basic Education (Independent Charge) Sandeep Singh stated that the implementation of this pilot project has not only led to an increase in student attendance in schools, but also brought about a remarkable improvement in their learning levels in science and mathematics.
“As students acquired vocational and technical skills, they developed a deeper understanding of the subjects, which is now contributing positively to their academic and personal growth”, he further added.
Inaugurating the training program, ACS Transport L. Venkateshwarlu and special guest Ms. Ekta Singh (IAS) stated that this initiative will prove to be a significant milestone in the skill development of students.
According to them, it will not only foster scientific thinking and technical skills among students but also empower them with the vocational abilities necessary for future self-reliance.
This effort to introduce practical education in schools will give a new direction to the state’s education system and help provide students with better employment opportunities, they pointed out.
On this occasion, mainly Shri Madhav Tiwari, Senior Expert Community Participation Samagra Shiksha, B. Chaudhary Additional Director Institute, Mohit Yadav Faculty Officer, Science Ashram and UNICEF team, apart from Rajit Singh and Dr Faizan, State Advisor Community Participation etc. were present.

Departments like the Mela Authority, PWD, Prayagraj Development Authority, Municipal Corporation, Tourism Department, Irrigation Department, and Setu Nigam are working in close coordination to complete the projects on time. To ensure steady progress, officials from various departments are now conducting late-night inspections. These surprise visits have significantly accelerated the pace of work, ensuring that all preparations stay on track.
In recent days, the Vice-Chancellor and Secretary of the Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA) conducted late-night inspections of ongoing development works at key locations, including High Court Road, Chhota Baghada Road, Arail, Kydganj, Hatia, Nurullah, Jhunsi Bus Stand, and Lete Hanuman Temple. During these inspections, they provided necessary instructions for improvements to the implementing agencies.
Similarly, officers from the Mela administration also carried out midnight inspections at various sites, focusing on construction and development projects. They directed departmental staff to ensure adequate water and electricity supply. This heightened night-time vigilance has accelerated departmental work, with special emphasis on projects that had been pending for some time.
Alongside speed, quality is a top priority to ensure that the residents of Prayagraj can continue to benefit from the improvements long after Mahakumbh. Most of the projects are being executed on a permanent basis, rather than being just temporary arrangements.
Turning challenges into opportunities: Ravi Prasad builds a thriving business from banana fiber
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath revitalizes banana cultivation and associated industries by designating it as Kushinagar’s ODOP
Lucknow, October 23
Ravi Prasad, a resident of Hariharpur (Tamkuhiraj) in Kushinagar, faced life-changing challenges in 2015 when he was pursuing his MA in Economics. After his father suffered a severe accident that resulted in the loss of a leg, Ravi, being the sole child in the family, was compelled to leave his studies to take on the responsibilities of the household. In that dark moment, he felt overwhelmed by uncertainty.
Seeking a livelihood, Ravi moved to Delhi, where he stumbled upon a stall showcasing various products made from banana fiber at the Pragati Maidan exhibition. Inspired by what he saw, he realized that he could replicate this endeavor in Kushinagar. Armed with newfound knowledge, he returned home and began laying the groundwork for his venture in late 2017.
His fortunes changed when Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched the One District, One Product (ODOP) initiative, declaring banana fiber as Kushinagar’s designated product. This announcement invigorated Ravi’s spirit. With determination, he secured a loan of Rs five lakhs from the PMGP scheme, allowing him to kickstart his business.
Today, Ravi’s banana fiber products not only illuminate his life but also empower over fifty women who work alongside him. His success reached new heights when he participated in the International Trade Show organized by the Yogi government in Greater Noida, where he sold all his goods.
Ravi has evolved into a self-sufficient entrepreneur with an expanding social identity. Recently, the district’s DM and CDO visited his unit. Rabi noted that the designation of banana as Kushinagar’s ODOP has revitalized its cultivation and associated activities.
Currently, Ravi produces a wide range of items from banana fiber, including bags, caps, bouquets, pen stands, yoga mats, carpets, carry bags, mobile purses, laptop bags, and slippers. He even exports some of his banana fiber products to firms in Gujarat, showcasing the potential and success of his venture.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath: Ravi’s banana fiber products
Additionally, the water extracted during the separation of banana fiber is sold for 15 to 20 rupees per liter. This nutrient-rich water, which contains calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, and vitamin B6, is particularly sought after by fish farmers. When poured into fish ponds, it significantly promotes the healthy growth of the fish.
Moreover, excellent organic manure can be produced by composting the leftover waste from the fiber extraction process. Ravi previously made this compost and is now preparing to resume production.
Ravi has also trained around 600 individuals in creating various goods and products from banana fiber. Moreover, approximately 60 to 65 women from different self-help groups collaborate with him.
According to Ravi, the process begins by placing the banana stem in a cutter, which breaks it down into smaller pieces. These pieces are then fed into a fiber extraction machine, which separates the fiber from the stem.
To enhance the extraction, a small amount of salt is added to the juice from the banana stem and heated. Following this, the fiber is dyed in the desired colors, ensuring that the colors are permanent. Notably, products made from this fiber are approximately 30% stronger than those made from jute.

CM Yogi Adityanath: Inaugurates Silk Expo; honours 16 farmers, entrepreneurs, institutions, and designers with the prestigious Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Resham Ratna Award.
UP the first state in the country to come up with a policy for traditional products, says CM
Lucknow, October 22
CM Yogi Adityanath, on Tuesday, said that Uttar Pradesh and India at large, have both the potential and resources to compete with the major global players in readymade garments.
CM Yogi Adityanath also releases the latest edition of ‘Resham Mitra’ magazine; expo to conclude on October 28
Inaugurating the Silk Expo at the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan, which runs from October 22 to 28, the Chief Minister said, “Small nations worldwide have established a strong presence in the readymade garment industry, even with limited resources and opportunities. We, on the other hand, have both the potential and resources.”
He added: “If a significant portion of the workforce, especially women, is engaged in silk production, processing, readymade garments, designing, marketing, and packaging, Uttar Pradesh and India can emerge as global leaders in the garment industry.”
He urged stakeholders to leverage the initiatives taken by the state government to realize this vision.
The CM Yogi Adityanath highlighted a remarkable achievement in silk production, which has increased 84-fold under the current administration. “A day will come when Uttar Pradesh will be recognized among the top states in the country for silk production,” he added.

Farmers and entrepreneurs had to suffer due to the misdeeds of previous governments: CM Yogi Adityanath
He also released the ‘Resham Mitra’ magazine and honored 16 farmers, entrepreneurs, institutions, and designers with the Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya Resham Ratna Samman. Following the ceremony, he toured the exhibition.
CM Yogi Adityanath highlighted that since the BJP government came to power in 2017, Uttar Pradesh has taken significant steps to promote traditional products. The state became the first in India to implement a dedicated policy for traditional crafts, identifying a unique product for each of its 75 districts under the “One District, One Product” (ODOP) initiative.
By linking ODOP with market access, design, and packaging, the initiative has not only created employment, but also boosted the export of traditional goods. Today, all 75 districts have distinct GI-tagged products recognized across the country, he pointed out.
The Chief Minister emphasized the potential for further growth, particularly through the famous sarees of Varanasi, Bhadohi, and Mubarakpur. He encouraged efforts to make the Silk Expo a platform for advancing Uttar Pradesh’s prospects in this sector.
Referring to the age-old slogan of “roti, kapda aur makaan” (food, clothing, and shelter), CM Yogi stressed that while air and water are essential for life, the need for food, clothing, and shelter is equally fundamental.
He noted that clothing not only meets a basic need but also serves as a vital means to boost farmers’ income and generate employment. Uttar Pradesh, with its population of 25 crores, has a vast potential in silk production, and while progress has been made in recent years, much more remains to be achieved to match the state’s immense possibilities.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath urged people to explore the vast potential for development within Uttar Pradesh. He pointed out that places like Varanasi, Bhadohi, and Azamgarh, known for their silk sarees such as those from Mubarakpur, hold significant promise.
“The central and state governments are making concerted efforts to develop silk clusters in these regions. Varanasi silk sarees, a popular choice for auspicious occasions nationwide, have seen increased demand following the expansion of Kashi Vishwanath Dham, which has attracted more devotees and tourists. The establishment of a Trade Facilitation Center at the Varanasi Expo Mart has further boosted this traditional industry”, CM Yogi asserted.
He highlighted the progress of entrepreneurs associated with the saree industry in Mubarakpur and the silk clusters in Mirzapur, Varanasi, and Bhadohi, indicating that the sector has considerable growth potential.
The upcoming PM Mitra Park, a large textile hub on the Lucknow-Hardoi border, will cover 1,000 acres and host various textile-related industries, showcasing Uttar Pradesh’s potential in this field, he noted.
However, the Chief Minister emphasized the need for local raw material production to support these initiatives. He encouraged farmers to participate, noting that the central government offers several schemes for their benefit.
Furthermore, he called on the relevant departments to organize symposiums, seminars, and outreach programs in every district to inform progressive farmers about these schemes and connect them with training and processing programs.
This initiative aims to enhance opportunities, not just in the Gorakhpur division but also in Varanasi, Mirzapur, Lucknow, Devipatan, Basti, and Azamgarh.
CM Yogi Adityanath: Resham Mitra
CM Yogi Adityanath highlighted that Uttar Pradesh, with its nine climatic zones, offers a unique opportunity to develop and promote diverse agricultural products across different regions. The state has immense potential, especially in areas like Varanasi and Azamgarh, which have been hubs for the silk industry since ancient times.
He emphasized the importance of locally linking silk production and processing with the textile industry to ensure affordable raw materials, which would naturally lower costs and make products more accessible to meet market demand. The government, he assured, will support training initiatives, and assist in raw material procurement, processing, marketing, and design.
The CM Yogi Adityanath pointed out that farmers and entrepreneurs in Uttar Pradesh have long been connected to traditional crafts, but faced setbacks due to the neglect of previous governments, which failed to provide proper incentives, design support, and packaging for their products. This challenge extended beyond silk to all traditional industries.
Today, the state showcases a variety of unique products: Bhadohi’s carpets, Gorakhpur’s terracotta, Varanasi’s numerous GI-tagged items, leather goods from Agra and Kanpur, Moradabad’s brassware, Firozabad’s glass, and sports equipment from Meerut.
These products represent Uttar Pradesh’s rich heritage and provide a platform for youth and entrepreneurs to advance through traditional industries, he pointed out.
The Chief Minister called for a rapid expansion of silk clusters in regions with the potential, urging the relevant departments to collaborate with farmers who could act as “silk friends,” helping to realize this potential and position Uttar Pradesh as a strong competitor among other states.
He stressed the importance of timely incentives to better showcase the state’s capabilities to the world. The upcoming PM Mitra Textiles Park in Lucknow is poised to play a key role in furthering these opportunities.
CM Yogi Adityanath emphasized that silk garments are rooted in indigenous technology, and there is a need to continuously upgrade and adapt this technology. He pointed out the evolution from the traditional hand-operated spinning wheel for khadi, to electric-powered versions, which increased efficiency five to ten times with the rise in electricity use. To further reduce energy costs, solar-powered spinning wheels have now been introduced.
Similarly, silk production must integrate modern processing techniques and align with updated spinning programs, the CM emphasized. He highlighted that alongside daily activities, these initiatives can promote women’s self-reliance at the local level. Such efforts are progressing in line with Prime Minister Modi’s vision for women’s empowerment under the Mission Shakti initiative.
On this occasion, MSME Minister Rakesh Sachan, Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh, Agriculture Production Commissioner Monica S. Garg, Member Secretary Central Silk Board New Delhi P. Shivkumar, Additional Chief Secretary (Silk) BL Meena, Director (Silk) Sunil Kumar Verma etc. were present.
The Chief Minister awarded the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Silk Ratna Award to 16 farmers, entrepreneurs, institutions, and designers. They were honored with the first prize of Rs 50,000 and the second prize of Rs 25,000, along with a memento, and a citation.
