Jaunpur, Azamgarh and Hardoi lead the state in effective implementation of CYEKA

Lucknow, January 23: The Yogi government is continuously taking necessary steps towards making the state a one trillion dollar economy. Under this initiative, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is implementing various schemes to empower the youth of the state and provide them with self-employment opportunities. Among these schemes, the Chief Minister’s Youth Entrepreneur Development Campaign (CYEKA) has become the primary choice of the state’s youth. This can be gauged from the fact that in the current financial year, nearly 350,000 applications have been received across the state, while the Yogi government has set a target of distributing 150,000 loans in the financial year 2025-26. This clearly demonstrates that CM Yogi’s Mukhyamantri Yuva Udyami Vikas Abhiyan (CYEKA) is attracting young people, and they are joining it to fulfill their dreams. Jaunpur has been ranked first in Uttar Pradesh for 100% benefit distribution for the past several months, while Azamgarh was in second place as of January 22nd, and Hardoi in third. On the occasion of Uttar Pradesh Day, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will honor Jaunpur, which has received the highest number of benefits under the CM Yuva Yojana, with a citation.
