Lucknow, 07 Sept (HS): On

International Literacy Day (September 8), Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath issued a special 'Yogi Ki Patti' (open letter) to the state's people

and students. Education's goal, according to CM Yogi's letter, is not only to teach

children to read and write, but also to develop knowledge, values, discipline,

self-confidence, and the ability to make sound decisions.

Digital and AI literacy: In addition to traditional knowledge, modern

science, technology, and artificial intelligence (AI) literacy are emphasized.

AI City in Lucknow and drone technology in Kanpur are paving the way for future

possibilities. Teachers have been described as the foundation of nation building and an important

pillar for spreading knowledge. A determination has been made to give education

to every child, to link every youngster with skills, and to make every citizen

of the state literate with the collaboration of the society.

Meanwhile, UP CM mentioned in a post on X, “My

esteemed fellow citizens of the state, Teachers are those lamps that, by

spreading the light of knowledge, pave the way for future generations. In the

direction of expanding this knowledge and empowering every individual, we will

observe International Literacy Day on September 8. Our government is connecting

traditional knowledge with modern science, technology, innovation, and skills.

The developing ecosystem of Al City in Lucknow and drone and UAV technology in

Kanpur is becoming the foundation for new possibilities in Uttar Pradesh's

technological future. Let us, on this International Literacy Day, resolve that

every child reaches school, every student receives quality education, every

youth connects with skills and innovation, and every citizen, along with being

literate, becomes aware of digital knowledge and AI.”
