Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday (June 3, 2026) inaugurated eastern Uttar Pradesh’s first and the State’s second Flatted Factory Complex, constructed at a cost of ₹42.50 crore in Sector-13 of GIDA (Gorakhpur Industrial Development Authority).The CM described the Flatted Factory as an excellent ready-to-use or plug-and-play model for MSME units. Calling it an innovative initiative of GIDA, he said that young entrepreneurs who do not have the resources to purchase land and establish factories can directly begin operations here. “Even with a small investment, substantial profits can be earned. This will prove to be an excellent model for ready-made garments, electronics and other MSME units.”Further, he laid the foundation stone for 71 development works worth about ₹208 crore across various sectors of GIDA. Mr. Adityanath also inaugurated the EWS-LIG Residential Complex for workers employed in GIDA. The Chief Minister distributed certificates to the allottees of the EWS and LIG housing units, and youth trained by NIELIT.He also highlighted GIDA’s rapid transformation over the past nine years, stating that the industrial hub had emerged as a major employment centre with investments from leading manufacturing and beverage companies.Mr. Adityanath later inspected the flatted factory complex. He expressed that the building should be expanded further in the future if required. To this, GIDA CEO Anuj Malik said that the building has been designed in a manner that allows the addition of three more floors.‘Zero tolerance against crime, corruption’Addressing a public gathering, Mr. Adityanath said: “Security is the most essential requirement for development and enterprise. Without security, neither good governance nor prosperity can be achieved. Since 2017, the government has moved forward with a policy of zero tolerance against crime and criminals. There can be no compromise with this policy. Those who do not accept the policy of zero tolerance will be dealt with in the language they understand, but no one will be allowed to rob young people of employment opportunities.”“Since 2017, Uttar Pradesh has presented a model of security. This has led to industrial development and provided employment to lakhs of young people. In GIDA alone, 50,000 youths have secured employment over the last few years. This would not have been possible without a secure environment. The government has resolved that the process of development will continue uninterrupted, security will be provided to everyone, and the benefits of welfare schemes will reach all without discrimination. However, if anyone attempts to snatch the rights of the poor, intimidate traders, or dares to tamper with the dignity of daughters, the government will not spare them. Such individuals will be tracked down even from the depths of the underworld. Uttar Pradesh is working with this very spirit of zero tolerance,” he said in his address.CM Yogi stated, the secure environment created in the State has attracted investment proposals worth ₹50 lakh crore. Of these, proposals worth ₹15 lakh crore have already been implemented on the ground, while investment proposals worth ₹7.5 lakh crore are ready for ground-breaking. Large-scale investments have generated jobs and employment opportunities for lakhs of people. The promotion of MSMEs has provided employment to 3 crore people within their own villages and regions.“Along with a zero-tolerance policy towards crime, the government has also adopted a zero-tolerance policy against corruption and corrupt individuals. As a result, more than 9 lakh government jobs have been provided in the state. Youth from every district of Uttar Pradesh have secured government employment. Adequate opportunities for recruitment to government jobs have been made available across the State,” he said.CM Yogi also said, outstanding achievements in development, industry and employment are possible only when a good government is in place.He informed, “When the people elected Narendra Modi as Prime Minister in 2014, the world’s perception of India changed under his leadership. In New India, development is progressing alongside the preservation of heritage. Responding to Prime Minister Modi’s call, the people of Uttar Pradesh elected a BJP government in 2017, and this government worked two steps ahead of public expectations.”Giving examples of good public representatives, the Chief Minister said that when people elected Ravi Kishan as MP and leaders such as Vipin Singh and Pradeep Shukla as MLAs, the pace of development accelerated significantly.At the ceremony, MP Ravi Kishan said that under the leadership of CM Yogi, GIDA is emerging as a major industrial hub. It is becoming a significant centre for youth employment.Welcoming the Chief Minister, Sahjanwa MLA Pradeep Shukla said that under the guidance of CM Yogi, the Sahjanwa Assembly constituency is setting an example of development.On this occasion, Mayor Dr Manglesh Srivastava, MLC and BJP State Vice President Dr Dharmendra Singh, MLAs Fateh Bahadur Singh, Shriram Chauhan, Vipin Singh, Mahendrapal Singh, Dr Vimlesh Paswan, Sarvan Nishad, State Women’s Commission Vice Chairperson Charu Chaudhary, BJP District President Janardan Tiwari, Infrastructure and Industrial Development Commissioner Deepak Kumar and several other dignitaries were present.
