Yashoda is raising children like Mother – CM Yogi

CM Yogi said that Anganwadi workers are like Yashoda Maiya, the way Mother Yashoda looked after Leeladhari Lord Shri Krishna. Similarly, Anganwadi workers are taking care of thousands of children in every Anganwadi center of the state. CM Yogi said that this is the same Uttar Pradesh, there are the same departments, the same people, but the picture of the state has changed in the last seven years. There has been a massive change in every field, which is not hidden from anyone. He said that the double engine government is developing quality recipe centers at every block level through Anganwadi centers and women self-help groups in the state. In the first phase, 204 such centers will be developed. This will provide employment to lakhs of people. Also, quality food and nutrition will be available in Uttar Pradesh. With this, the state will take a step forward in the direction of proper nutrition. He said that the role of Anganwadi workers is important in fulfilling Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s resolution of a developed India because it is the responsibility of keeping childhood healthy on them. If childhood is healthy then youth will be healthy and if youth is healthy then society will be able to take full advantage of its talent and potential.
