CM Yogi hands over the testimony of his govt’s hard work to PM Modi
As a testimony of some excellent work in tackling probably the biggest migrant crisis in about a century, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath handed over a copy of the book to Prime Minister Narendra Modi released on the study conducted by Harvard University.
The study highlights how the UP government deftly handled an issue no other state was able to manage. When the entire world was grappling with the pandemic, migrants were amongst the worst hit groups by the deteriorating living situation due to the coronavirus.
Because of the rigorous efforts and visionary thought process of the UP CM, the state has earned the praise from the international community several times during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The CM Yogi who is on a two-day visit to Delhi met the Prime Minister on Friday morning. He also took the opportunity to thank the Prime Minister for all his support from the Centre and on his personal behalf during the times of Corona.
Migrants who depend on daily wages for survival faced a lot of challenges for their livelihood. Coming to their rescue, CM yogi directed his officials to work towards the multifold agenda of providing transportation facilities, delivering ration kits, and running healthcare centres for outbreak prevention. The Government has also announced schemes to provide free rations to the migrants.
Making the returning migrants his strength, the CM has always said that it is the government’s responsibility to take care of each and every necessity. Making it true, the CM also proved that his action matters more than words.
The study of the Harvard University Business School dealt with how the ‘Yogi Model’ took care of the migrants through a combined mechanism of prevention from COVID-19, sustenance of their families, employment arrangements along with skill mapping and other logistics.
In fact, CM Yogi presented three books to PM Modi, one regarding study of Harvard University, another the similar study by John Hopkins University and the third one by the suggested model of ascertaining Gross Domestic Product at district level.(UNI)
