Yogi asks ministers to connect with people on social media

Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said social media platforms were emerging as important mediums to connect with people, and so, all ministers should be present on different platforms.

Yogi gave directives in this regard at a meeting of the state cabinet after viewing the presentation of the Prime Minister’s Gati Shakti Mission. He said the ministers should put their point across with positivity and connect with the people on different social media platforms. He said PM Gati Shakti portal should be mandatorily used and all projects worth ₹50 crore or more should remain available on the portal.

He said that the syllabus about technical and medical education courses should be worked out in the mother tongue. He also directed that qualitative contents should be developed and efforts should be made to link physiotherapy with Yoga.

Yogi said NCC units should be set up in all secondary schools in the state and priority should be given to colleges/schools situated in border areas. He said units of Scouts and Guides should be set up in all the junior high schools. He said the state government should provide necessary funds for this.

He said important days connected to villages and urban local bodies should be celebrated as annual events like the Uttar Pradesh Day now celebrated annually. He said the celebrations should be held in such a manner that provide a platform to local talent and honour those carrying out inspirational work.
