Janjati Evam Lok Kala Sanskriti Sansthan unique initiative to preserve heritage, More than 500 traditional ornaments and utensils of the state being preserved, Institute introducing the state’s tribal culture to the new generation
Lucknow, 02 February.
Janjati Evam Lok Kala Sanskriti Sansthan, Uttar Pradesh is playing an important role in preserving the state’s tribal cultural heritage. The institute is making noteworthy efforts to conserve, promote, and publicize traditional ornaments and rare utensils of tribal communities.
Tribal Treasures of Uttar Pradesh
This initiative is a significant step in realizing Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision of inclusive development. In this direction, more than 500 traditional ornaments and utensils made by the state’s various tribal communities are not only being preserved but also being exhibited so that the new generation can learn about their cultural heritage.
Janjati Evam Lok Kala Sanskriti Sansthan
The ornaments of Uttar Pradesh’s tribal communities such as Tharu, Buksa, Gond, and Baiga are not only symbols of beauty but also reflect the deep cultural roots and traditions of their communities.
To achieve this goal, the institute is preserving these traditionally crafted ornaments. The institute’s director Atul Dwivedi explained, these ornaments are entirely handmade by tribal artisans using centuries-old knowledge and skills.
Tribal Craft Revival by Janjati Evam Lok Kala Sanskriti Sansthan
The ornaments represent both cultural traditions and artistic craftsmanship. They are made from materials including gilt or gota silver, old Indian coins, beads, copper, brass, wood, bone, and shells. The creation process follows traditional methods in which metals are heated in a furnace, shaped into wires and sheets, and then manually formed into the final design.
Ornaments such as hansli, payal, kadhani, bangles, jhumki, necklaces, rings, bajuband, and mangalsutra are integral parts of tribal life. The director also shared that while the institute is protecting these vanishing ornaments and the craftsmanship behind them, it is simultaneously trying to connect them with modern trends.
Modern versions of these ornaments are being adopted by the younger generation and are being worn not only with traditional attire but also with ethnic and Western clothing.

Preserving Vanishing Tribal Utensils and Lifestyles
The institute’s efforts are not limited to ornaments alone. It is also active in preserving traditional brass, copper, and clay utensils that are vanishing from tribal use. The director noted that metal utensils, earthenware, and utensils such as tumbi made from wild gourd used by tribal communities including Tharu, Buksa, Agariya, and Kharwar in areas such as Sonbhadra still vividly represent tribal lifestyles.
The institute preserves these items and organizes exhibitions from time to time. The Agariya tribe is particularly known for its metalcraft tradition dating back to ancient times. Meanwhile, the Tharu tribe uses clay utensils to prepare traditional rice-based beverages called jaad.
Through exhibitions, the institute provides both national and international platforms to showcase tribal artworks, ornaments, and utensils.
In this context, during Uttar Pradesh Diwas 2026 and the Janjatiya Bhagidari Mahotsav, tribal artisans were given platforms and honored, elevating tribal pride to new heights.

The Noida International Airport, also known as Jewar Airport, is one of India’s most ambitious infrastructure projects, poised to transform air travel and economic growth in the National Capital Region (NCR). Located in Jewar, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, this greenfield airport is set to become Asia’s largest and the world’s fourth-largest airport upon completion of all its phases. Below is a comprehensive update on the latest developments, milestones, and impacts of the Jewar Airport project as of July 2025.
Jewar Airport : Noida International Airport
Jewar Airport : Project Overview
Jewar Airport, officially named Noida International Airport (IATA: DXN, ICAO: VIND), is being developed by Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), a subsidiary of Zurich Airport International AG, under a public-private partnership model. The project, with an estimated cost of ₹29,650 crore for its first phase, aims to alleviate congestion at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) and cater to the growing air travel demand in the NCR. The airport’s strategic location near the Yamuna Expressway enhances connectivity to key destinations like Delhi, Noida, Agra, Mathura, and Vrindavan.
The airport is being developed in four phases, with the first phase featuring one runway and one terminal, designed to handle 12 million passengers annually. Upon completion of all phases, it will boast six runways and four terminals, with a capacity to serve 70 million passengers per year by 2040-2050. The project also emphasizes sustainability, aiming to be India’s first airport designed for multi-cargo operations and net-zero emissions.
Jewar Airport : Noida International Airport
Recent Milestones and Construction Progress
1. Successful Validation Flights
In December 2024, Noida International Airport conducted its first successful flight validation test, a critical step toward its commercial opening. An IndiGo aircraft performed takeoff and landing maneuvers, with all necessary checks approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Validation tests continued until mid-December, ensuring the airport’s operational readiness. The calibration of the Instrument Landing System (ILS) and Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) was completed in October 2024, marking significant progress. As of July 2025, 85% of the first phase’s construction is complete, with the 3.9-km runway fully operational and the terminal building in its final stages.
2. New Opening Date
Initially slated for a September 2024 opening, the airport faced delays due to material shortages and construction challenges, missing subsequent deadlines in April and May 2025. The latest confirmed opening date is April 17, 2025, when commercial operations for both domestic and international flights are expected to commence. However, recent reports indicate that domestic flights may start in May 2025, with international flights potentially delayed until July 2025. The Uttar Pradesh government has imposed a ₹21 crore penalty on the airport operator for these delays, reflecting the project’s high priority.

3. Infrastructure and Connectivity Enhancements
To ensure seamless access, several infrastructure projects are underway:
Bhangel Elevated Road: A 5.5-km road to ease Noida-Greater Noida traffic, expected to be completed by July 2025.
DND-Faridabad-Ballabhgarh Link: Connects the airport to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, with land acquisition completed and construction ongoing.
Greenfield Expressway: An 8.5-km elevated stretch on the Faridabad-Jewar route has been approved.
Ganga Expressway Link: A 76-km expressway from Bulandshahr to Jewar, funded with ₹1,000 crore, is in planning.
Metro and Rail Connectivity: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is preparing a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for a metro line from Knowledge Park II to Jewar Airport. Additionally, a 71.1-km Ghaziabad-Jewar Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS) is planned for completion by 2031. A 61-km railway line (Palwal-Noida International Airport-Khurja) will also connect the airport to major rail networks.
4. Partnerships and Services
Bus and Taxi Services: Noida International Airport has signed agreements with the Uttarakhand Transport Corporation (UTC) and Mahindra Logistics Mobility to provide seamless bus connectivity and premium all-electric taxi services to key destinations.
Fuel Stations: A 30-year concession agreement with Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) ensures high-quality fueling services at three locations within the airport.
Airline Operations: IndiGo and Akasa Air are in discussions with the DGCA and IATA for domestic and international routes. The airport will initially operate 30 flights: 25 domestic, 2 international (Zurich, Singapore, or Dubai), and 1 cargo flight.

Economic and Regional Impact
1. Real Estate Boom
The airport’s development is significantly boosting the real estate market in Noida, Greater Noida, and Jewar. Property prices have surged, with Greater Noida leading NCR price appreciation at 98% over the last five years. Projects like ATS Homekraft’s ‘Province D Olympia’ sold 400 residential plots worth ₹1,200 crore, driven by strong demand. The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has also seen high interest, with 34,000 applications for 451 plots generating ₹1,493 crore. New sectors, including residential and commercial developments, are planned near the airport, with a proposed hotel hub in Noida Sector 28.
2. Industrial and Employment Opportunities
Jewar Airport is set to become a major economic hub:
A 1,000-acre Aviation Hub is planned for Phase II, focusing on aircraft assembly, engine production, and related activities.
A multi-modal cargo hub will cater to India’s growing logistics demand.
The HCL Group and Foxconn are jointly building a semiconductor facility near the airport, set to produce display driver chips for various devices, with production starting in 2027.
The airport is expected to create over 100,000 jobs, fostering industrial and commercial growth in the region.

3. Tourism and Connectivity
The airport’s proximity to the Yamuna Expressway will facilitate travel to tourist destinations like Agra (Taj Mahal), Mathura, and Vrindavan. It will also serve as a logistics gateway, with dedicated space for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services. The Indian Air Force will have an office at the airport to manage imported equipment, enhancing operational efficiency.
Challenges and Controversies
1. Land Acquisition and Environmental Concerns
The second and third phases of the airport require significant land acquisition, 1,181 and 2,053 hectares respectively, affecting 14 villages. This has led to opposition from some villagers, with concerns over displacement and inadequate rehabilitation. The Noida authority has released ₹3,645 crore, including ₹486 crore for rehabilitating displaced farmers. Environmental concerns include the threat to the Dhanauri Wetlands, which has not been designated as a Ramsar Site, and allegations of illegal groundwater exploitation for construction.
2. Construction Delays and Penalties
The repeated delays have drawn scrutiny, with the Uttar Pradesh government emphasizing the project’s priority. The ₹21 crore fine reflects the state’s commitment to ensuring timely completion. Issues like delayed engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contracts and material shortages have been cited as reasons for the setbacks.

IPS Yaumna Prasad: Since taking charge as Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Noida, on 21 June 2024, IPS Yamuna Prasad has earned growing praise from residents and colleagues alike. A 2012-batch officer from Siddharthnagar, Prasad has quickly emerged as a key reformer in one of India’s fastest-growing urban police jurisdictions.
#IPS Yaumna Prasad
In recent citizen outreach programs such as the “Good Evening” meetings held across Sectors 11, 12, and 122 in June 2025, local RWAs lauded Prasad’s focus on:Faster response times
Improved beat patrolling
Increased CCTV surveillance
Targeted traffic easing, particularly around Parthala Road
Residents described him as “approachable yet firm,” and praised the way police teams were visible on the ground—“not just on paper.”
IPS Yaumna Prasad
🧭 Tactical Leadership & Team Restructuring
In May 2025, DCP Prasad implemented a mid-level reshuffle, transferring five key officers within the Noida Commissionerate. The move was strategic: aligning talent with field demands, optimizing night patrol zones, and ensuring more accountability from beat officers. His administrative style reflects a clear understanding of how to extract performance through team realignment, clear KPIs, and delegated command.
IPS Yaumna Prasad
🚨 Major Operations Under His Command
Forex & Murder Case (June 2025): Four accused arrested for killing a money changer involved in illicit currency trade. Prasad’s team recovered ₹10+ lakh in foreign exchange, ₹4 lakh in cash, forged documents, and illegal firearms.
Fake Mark Sheet Syndicate (July 2025): Two Kanpur-based men running a document-forgery ring arrested. 66 fake mark sheets, migration certificates, laptops, phones, and two luxury cars were seized—marking a win against educational fraud.
Vehicle Theft Gang (May–June 2025): A 5-member gang responsible for lifting over 26 two-wheelers was caught. 21 vehicles were recovered, aided by CCTV footage and electronic surveillance.
Staged Kidnapping Rescue (August 2025): Prasad’s team cracked a fabricated father-daughter kidnapping within 24 hours, underlining investigative speed.
Gangster Dilshad Arrest: A long-pending case saw closure with the arrest of Noida’s listed gangster “Dilshad”. Prasad’s briefing went viral for its calm, fact-based tone.
Mukhtar Ansari Transfer (2021): Before Noida, he successfully managed the high-risk, high-profile transfer of jailed don-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari—a mission involving tight security and media scrutiny. 🏅 Honors & Commendations
DG’s Commendation Disc (Silver) – 15 August 2018
DG’s Commendation Disc (Gold) – 26 January 2023
These medals reflect Prasad’s steadfast contributions across challenging posts in Uttar Pradesh.
IPS Yaumna Prasad
Challenges & Constructive Criticism
While largely praised, Prasad’s time as DCP Traffic in late 2023 drew criticism after mismanagement during the CPHI & PMEC Expo in Greater Noida. Heavy congestion and poor event logistics triggered complaints and his reassignment from the traffic post. Observers saw this as a wake-up call for better event-scale planning in the city. Another gap noted by civil society groups is his minimal digital and social media outreach—a growing requirement in the era of interactive governance and public policing. Prasad, however, is known to believe in “quiet execution over loud promotion.”
🎓 Education & Siddharthnagar Roots
Born on 12 July 1977, Yamuna Prasad belongs to a Hindi-medium educational background. A native of Siddharthnagar, Uttar Pradesh, he holds
Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology & Political Science
Master’s in Modern & Medieval History
His academic foundation enables him to approach policing through a deep understanding of social behavior, conflict triggers, and historical context.
IPS Yaumna Prasad, Measurable Impact
From a rural district on the UP-Nepal border to the nerve center of Noida’s law enforcement, IPS Yamuna Prasad embodies a quiet, result-oriented style of policing. Whether it’s cracking complex syndicates, reshaping internal command, or listening directly to citizens, his leadership reflects accountability, structure, and adaptability. Though areas like event management and digital visibility remain improvement points, his field operations, team management, and community credibility make him one of the most reliable and impactful police leaders in Uttar Pradesh today. As Noida continues its high-speed urban expansion, IPS Yamuna Prasad’s blend of grassroots understanding and executive-level command positions him well—not just as a DCP, but as a model for future urban policing in India.

CM directs administrations of Ayodhya, Varanasi, Mirzapur, and Chitrakoot to stay alert and strengthen security measures
To enhance Mahakumbh management, former Divisional Commissioner Ashish Goyal and former ADA VC Bhanu Goswami deployed, along with five Special Secretaries
● Following the unfortunate incident at Prayagraj Mahakumbh on Mauni Amavasya, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath conducted a late-night video conference with senior police officers and district administration officials from multiple districts, including Prayagraj, Kaushambi, Varanasi, Ayodhya, Mirzapur, Basti, Jaunpur, Chitrakoot, Banda, Ambedkarnagar, Pratapgarh, Sant Kabir Nagar, Bhadohi, Rae Bareli, and Gorakhpur. In the presence of senior government officials, he issued crucial directives, emphasizing the need for heightened vigilance and caution in the Mahakumbh Mela area after reviewing updates from ADG and the District Magistrate of Prayagraj.
Mahakumbh
● CM Yogi also sought updates from officials in Ayodhya, Varanasi, Mirzapur, and Chitrakoot regarding security and crowd management measures for incoming devotees. Additionally, officials from districts bordering Prayagraj were instructed to maintain continuous coordination with the Prayagraj administration to ensure seamless management and public safety.
Mahakumbh : Major guidelines given by the Chief Minister
● A large number of devotees are gathered at all railway stations in Prayagraj, preparing to return home after completing their holy bath. ADG and the District Magistrate of Prayagraj must ensure the safe and smooth departure of every devotee. It is our responsibility to facilitate their journey. To achieve this, seamless coordination with the railways must be maintained to ensure continuous train operations. Additionally, extra buses from the Transport Corporation should be deployed to accommodate the rush.
Mahakumbh
● Holding areas have been established at border points to manage crowd pressure in the fair area. Devotees should be allowed to proceed based on the prevailing situation. Arrangements for food and drinking water must be ensured at all holding areas so that no devotee faces any inconvenience. Additionally, uninterrupted electricity supply must be maintained at these locations.
● Authorities in districts bordering Prayagraj must strictly enforce the directives issued from Prayagraj. Patrolling should be increased, and traffic should flow smoothly on all major routes, including Ayodhya-Prayagraj, Kanpur-Prayagraj, Fatehpur-Prayagraj, Lucknow-Pratapgarh-Prayagraj, and Varanasi-Prayagraj. All return routes from Prayagraj should remain open and unobstructed at all times.
● Traffic must remain smooth within the Mahakumbh Mela area. Unnecessary halts should be avoided, and crowd build-up must be prevented at all locations. There should be no traffic congestion on the roads. If street vendors are occupying pathways, they should be relocated to designated open areas to ensure the continuous flow of movement. No road should face a jam at any point.
● The next Amrit Snan is scheduled for Basant Panchami on February 3. The Chief Secretary and Director General of Police should conduct a thorough review of the Mahakumbh Mela arrangements on Thursday. Every aspect related to security and public convenience must be carefully examined to ensure seamless arrangements for Basant Panchami.
CM Yogi
● To further strengthen the Mahakumbh arrangements, Ashish Goyal, who served as Divisional Commissioner of Prayagraj during Kumbh 2019, and Bhanu Goswami, former Vice Chairman of ADA, are being deployed. Additionally, five Special Secretary-level officers are being assigned to oversee operations. They will remain in Prayagraj until February 12 to assist in streamlining the arrangements. Moreover, the Superintendent of Police-level officers will also be deployed for enhanced management and security.
● Lakhs of devotees visiting Mahakumbh are also traveling to Varanasi and Ayodhya for darshan and worship, while many are heading to Chitrakoot and Mirzapur. With a significant increase in footfall expected over the next two days, heightened vigilance is essential in these key cities. Continuous monitoring and precautionary measures must be ensured. Holding areas should be created to regulate the crowd flow, allowing movement as per the situation. Barricading should be used effectively, traffic management should be improved, and adequate parking arrangements must be in place.
