Official Launch of UP Govt. NRI Portal by CM Yogi Adityanath
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath officially launched the UP Govt. NRI Portal at nri.up.gov.in. This NRI department website not only helps in investment in UP but also gives an opportunity to those who want to go abroad. The portal helps overseas Indians and NRIs get their problems resolved with the local administration or state government. The Chief Minister said that many people live abroad but stay in touch with their village and family, yet they had no platform to help their families resolve local problems related to their house or the local administration. This portal provides that platform.
NRI UP Gov Portal to Promote Tourism
Just like the Maha Kumbh organized in Prayagraj, Yogi said the NRI UP Gov Portal will help promote tourism in the way the Kumbh was publicised. The branding of events changes the perception about Uttar Pradesh and also helps promote events like Deepotsava in Ayodhya, Dev Deepawali in Varanasi and Holi in Barsana. Similar to the famous NRIs of Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh has many NRIs, including a large section of the labour force in the Middle East along with others living in different parts of the world who wish to contribute to the state.
The Chief Minister had interacted with ambassadors of different countries like France, Japan and South Korea. They suggested tourism packages as per the interest of the people of their country. Such packages are displayed on this portal, which acts as an interactive platform for NRIs for all their problems. Many had shown interest in Deepotsava in Ayodhya, so the state decided to stream those cultural events live on this portal.
