Lucknow, May 11 (IANS). On National Technology Day, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath wrote a letter to the people of the state and informed them about the special features of this day. Recalling the achievements of ‘Operation Shakti’ of 1998, he described technology as the basis of self-reliance. He appealed to make Uttar Pradesh a ‘Deep Tech Capital’ through AI, robotics, drones, quantum and startups and appealed to the youth to adopt innovation.
CM Yogi said, “‘National Technology Day’ is celebrated every year on May 11. This date was not chosen without reason. On this day in 1998, under ‘Operation Shakti’ in Pokhran, India made the world aware of its scientific talent, technical confidence and national capability by conducting three successful nuclear tests in Pokhran. On the same day, the indigenous aircraft ‘Hans-3’ made a successful flight and the indigenous ‘Trishul’ missile was also tested. Technology is not only a medium of development, but also It is a strong basis for self-reliance.”
CM said, “The state government is moving ahead on this mantra. Today technology has moved out of the laboratory and has reached the fields and barns. This has made life easier. Money is being transferred through DBT. Today, the facility of online self-calculation is the result of this technology. When Shubhanshu Shukla, the son of Uttar Pradesh, proudly made 140 crore Indians proud with his successful space flight last year, it is a miracle of technology. We should take inspiration from this.”
He said, “Empowered youth are the basis of the prosperity of the state. Keeping this in view, the Robotics and AI Mission was started. The work on the data center cluster is in progress. The government is ensuring modern training to the youth through the ‘Tech Yuva-Samarth Yuva’ scheme. With the basic mantra of ‘Innovate in UP, Scale for the World’, our government is committed to making UP the ‘Deep Tech Capital’ of the country by making progress in the fields of drones, quantum, green hydrogen and med-tech. Technology In this journey of based development, Uttar Pradesh is today a leading state in the field of IT parks, startups and manufacturing. Even BrahMos missile is being manufactured here.
CM Yogi said, “My young friends, I especially want to say a few things to you. Technology is like the times. Not keeping up with technology means lagging behind the times. Moving with technology means moving towards a strong present and a golden future. Learn the latest technology, adopt innovations and take an active part in building a self-reliant state. This will be a true tribute to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji.”
