The Uttar Pradesh government has claimed that if all investment proposals it received during the Global Investors Summit 2023 (GIS) across 17 municipal corporations are implemented, nearly 51 lakh employment opportunities will be created.
Out of this, 16 lakh jobs are likely to open up in Lucknow alone, a state government spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said that efforts are being made to implement investment proposals in cities like Agra, Shahjahanpur, Firozabad, Aligarh and Jhansi as well, along with Lucknow, Gorakhpur, Varanasi and Prayagraj.
