The Yogi government’s river conservation initiative in Uttar Pradesh has emerged as a national benchmark. For the first time, a state has deployed high-tech drone survey systems on such a large scale for river rejuvenation. The remarkable outcomes of this initiative have prompted the central government to replicate the Uttar Pradesh model across the country. Based on the drone survey findings, a comprehensive action plan is being prepared to ensure zero discharge into rivers. Owing to the Yogi government’s welfare-oriented policies and effective use of technology, Uttar Pradesh has emerged as the leading state in river conservation.
