Uttar Pradesh: Yogi govt clears proposal for 28 nourishment centres in state

The Uttar Pradesh government led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday cleared several proposals including 28 Mukhyamantri suposhan ghar (nourishment centres), large-scale purchase of four-wheelers for the security of VIPs and VVIPs and Gorakshnath Research Peeth.

The Mukhyamantri suposhan ghar would be established by the chief welfare department in Chitrakoot, Chandauli, Fatehpur, Sidharthanagar, Sonebhadra, Bahraich, Balrampur, Shravasti, Sitapur and Gonda districts. Bahraich will have the most number of centres (14).

These centres will have a consultant, three nurses, two cook cum-care takers and a cleaner on a contract basis. These centers will conduct check-ups of malnourished pregnant women and their newborns. These centres will be established in the community or prime health centres.

The state cabinet also approved the proposal of SunLight Fuels Private Limited to set up a “drop-in fuel” project to generate alternative synthetic fuel, with an investment of about Rs 1,500 crore.

The Cabinet further cleared the proposal for purchase of 95 four-wheelers — including jammers and bullet-proof vehicles apart from regular SUVs — at a cost of Rs around Rs 23 crore to provide security to VVIPs and VIPs arriving in the state.

A proposal to establish Gorakshnath Research Peeth (seat) at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya University in Gorakhpur with the investment of Rs 13 crore for construction of a building for research also got approval.
