Agencies

Sonbhadra, Jan 16: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Thursday, referred to Sonbhadra as the "Switzerland of India" and Uttar Pradesh's "energy capital," reaffirming his government’s commitment to its holistic development and transforming it into a green energy hub.
During his one-day visit, CM Yogi attended the closing ceremony of the Vidhayak Khel Mahakumbh 2024-25 held in Robertsganj, Sonbhadra district. He awarded prizes to the winners and runners-up, motivating them to continue excelling in their sporting endeavors.
Highlighting Sonbhadra’s cultural and religious significance, CM Yogi described it as a district rich in ancient heritage and natural resources. He mentioned its fossil park, cave paintings, and abundance of water and power resources, calling it a vital district that reflects the state’s and country’s ancient traditions.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that calling Sonbhadra the "Switzerland of India" is no exaggeration, as the district alone generates 12,000 MW of electricity, earning it the title of the energy capital of Uttar Pradesh.
The Chief Minister also highlighted the district's economic potential, revealing that Sonbhadra had attracted investment proposals worth ₹1,97,000 crore during the Global Investors Summit. He expressed confidence that the implementation of these projects would create employment opportunities for approximately 40,000 youth.
During his visit, CM Yogi inaugurated several development projects and highlighted plans to transform Sonbhadra into a green energy hub through floating solar power projects.
He announced that the district aims to provide tap water connections to 3,94,537 households, with 81% of the target already achieved. Additionally, he noted that the Kanhar irrigation project will bring irrigation facilities to 35,000 hectares of land, benefiting more than 50,000 farmer families.
Underlining the achievements of the "One District, One Medical College" scheme led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister remarked, “It is a testament to the vision of Prime Minister Modi that a medical college is now operational in Sonbhadra.” He also reiterated the government’s commitment to providing water to every household, preserving mythological heritage, and steering Sonbhadra towards holistic development.
Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath commended the women of Sonbhadra for their innovation and entrepreneurship. He highlighted the efforts of local women self-help groups in creating unique products like 'Son Soap' made from goat milk, describing it as “an excellent example of the skill and entrepreneurial spirit of local women, inspired by the double-engine government.”
