Uttar Pradesh’s Mukhyamantri Yuva Udyami Vikas Abhiyan saw 1.96 lakh applications in just four months, exceeding the 2025–26 target of 1.5 lakh. Over 42,000 youth have already received loans. The scheme is part of CM Yogi Adityanath’s vision to promote self-employment and turn UP into a $1 trillion economy.
