Lucknow: The efforts of the Yogi government to develop Bundelkhand, a region totally neglected by the previous governments of the state, have started yielding positive results. With the investment-friendly atmosphere created by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in the last few years, the region is set to see many investments on the ground in the near future, opening up employment opportunities on a large-scale.

Three-tier system to oversee projects to be launched at GBC
Officials have informed Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath that a total of 318 projects earmarked for the groundbreaking ceremony (GBC) are ready for launch in Bundelkhand. To ensure a thorough assessment, these projects are subjected to oversight at three distinct levels.
Firstly, the respective departments confirm their projects’ readiness for the groundbreaking ceremony, and this criterion applies to all 318 projects in Bundelkhand. Following this initial assessment, entrepreneurs visit the project sites to provide their endorsements. This process has yielded approvals for 167 projects.
The third and final phase involves scrutiny by the District Magistrate. Here, an evaluation is conducted to ascertain that all necessary formalities at the department and district levels for the particular project have been duly completed. Projects that meet these criteria have earned verification from the District Magistrate, with 54 such projects achieving this distinction. This meticulous approach ensures that these initiatives are investor-ready and poised for success.
