CM Yogi Adityanath says under UP Mathrubhumi Yojana, every person will get a chance to directly participate in various works of infrastructure development in villages. The state government will bear 50% of the total cost of the project, while the remaining 50% will be contributed by the interested people.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has made the announcement regarding UP Matra Bhumi Yojana while inaugurating and laying the foundation stones of various roads under PM Gramin Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) and district panchayats using hot mix and full depth reclamation (FDR) method. CM even asked the departments of rural development and panchayati raj to submit an action plan for the formal launch of the new UP Matribhumi Yojana.
UP Matribhumi Yojana in Improving Rural Infrastructure
CM mentioned that continuous work was being done by the central and the state governments for the overall development of villages. The Uttar Pradesh Matra Bhumi Yojana can prove to be a good attempt in the establishment of the following in villages:-
- Health centre
- Anganwadi centre
- Library
- Stadium
- Gymnasiums
- Open gym
- Cattle breed Improvement centre
- Fire service station
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath further said that whether for setting up CCTVs for smart villages, development of funeral sites or for installation of solar lights, there could be public participation in every work. Through new UP Mathrubhumi Yojana, the person concerned will be able to take full credit for the project by bearing half of the total cost. While making interaction with the presidents and members of Gram Panchayat, Kshetra Panchayat and District Panchayat, the CM said that the panchayats needed to be self-reliant.
On rural development, CM further said that roads were not just a means of transport but also a powerful means of strengthening the rural economy. Countries with developed infrastructure are also economically prosperous. In a state like Uttar Pradesh, about 80% of the population lives in rural background. To strengthen the rural economy, good roads and better connectivity are essential which is being done continuously through PMGSY.
CM also pointed out that the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, which was started by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the year 2000, had become a medium for the progress of villages.
