UP expands Mukhyamantri Nagar Srijan Yojana for emerging urban centres

The Uttar Pradesh government is expanding the Mukhyamantri Nagar Srijan Yojana to strengthen civic infrastructure in newly urbanised areas across the state as part of its broader urban development strategy.

The scheme focuses on improving basic urban infrastructure, including roads, drainage systems, drinking water supply, sanitation and street lighting in towns and local bodies that have recently transitioned from rural to urban status.

The initiative is intended to help these areas cope with growing populations and rising demand for civic amenities.

According to the state government, the programme aims to promote balanced regional development by reducing infrastructure gaps between established cities and emerging urban centres, reported The Times of India.

Officials said strengthening essential services in newly urbanised areas would improve living standards while supporting planned urban growth.

The Mukhyamantri Nagar Srijan Yojana forms part of Uttar Pradesh’s wider urban development agenda, under which investments are being directed towards water supply, solid waste management, roads and other civic infrastructure in expanding urban local bodies.
