Varanasi, 02 Aug (HS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath talks in Kashi, emphasizing development projects worth over Rs

16,000 crore and releasing a fresh package of Rs 2,200 crore. These efforts include connection, water

supply, education, health, and sports. The CM observes a dramatic shift for

farmers over the last 11 years, adding that they were formerly forced to

commit suicide.

The 20th payment

of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi is being distributed to 10 crore

farmers as part of a statewide campaign led by Kashi, with 2.3 crore coming

from Uttar Pradesh. The event also

entails the delivery of assistive gadgets to 'divyaang jano' (those with

disabilities) to instill hope and excitement. Adityanath greets the Prime

Minister and congratulates the 2,21,000 farmers in Kashi who would benefit from

the move.
