On the occasion, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the state was now moving towards becoming ‘Atmanirbhar UP’ and the state was firmly on the path of progress and development.
The foundation day celebrations will continue for three days till January 26.
Uttar Pradesh Diwas or the Uttar Pradesh Day is observed as the foundation day of this state. It was on this very same day in 1950 that Uttar Pradesh was renamed. Earlier, the state was known as the United Provinces.
This idea of celebrating the day was proposed by the then Governor Ram Naik and the first UP Diwas was celebrated in 2018.
The main programme is being held at Awadh Shilpgram with state Governor Anandiben Patel and CM Yogi Adityanath as the guests.
Besides the state capital Lucknow, events are being held in all the 75 districts of the state.
This year the theme of Uttar Pradesh Diwas is ‘Self-reliant Uttar Pradesh: Women, youths, Farmers: Development of all, Honour to All.’
Dignitaries and people contributing in different fields will be honoured on the occasion. The state government will also be presenting ‘Uttar Pradesh Gaurav Samman’ this year to deserving individuals.
