Zero Poverty Scheme in Uttar Pradesh Yogi Government: With an aim to end extreme poverty in Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led government has decided to launch “Zero Poverty Scheme”. This ambitious scheme aims to lift the poorest families in the state above the poverty line by providing a one-time relief package.
objective of the plan
“Zero Poverty Scheme” aims to uplift those families who are living in extreme poverty and struggling to meet their basic needs. The scheme will be initially implemented in some selected districts as a pilot project, after which it will be expanded to the entire state. In the first phase, 10 to 25 extremely poor families will be selected and they will be supported under the scheme.

implementation strategy
The scheme will be implemented with the cooperation of various departments of the state, including Rural Development Department, Women and Child Development Department, Horticulture Department, and Agriculture Department. Swachh Bharat Mission will also play an important role in the implementation of this scheme. These departments together will provide a comprehensive benefit package to the selected families, ensuring that all basic needs are met through existing government schemes.
This project will start from Gorakhpur, which is the home district of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Here the government will identify 10 to 25 extremely poor families. These families will be given a one-time relief package, which will include benefits from various government schemes such as housing, healthcare, nutrition, and employment opportunities.
Focus on marginalized communities
The scheme specifically targets marginalized communities such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, and minority groups. The government aims to reduce inequality among these groups and ensure inclusive growth in the state.
Government’s vision
The Yogi government believes that by combining all the existing welfare schemes into one integrated package, the Zero Poverty Scheme will help families become self-reliant. The state envisions a future where no family is dependent solely on government assistance, but is able to meet its own needs.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has expressed confidence that this initiative will bring significant change, lift thousands of families out of poverty and contribute to the overall development of the state. The Chief Minister said, “This scheme is not just about providing immediate relief; It is about creating a sustainable path for our poorest families to rise above their circumstances.
conclusion
“Zero Poverty Scheme” is a bold and necessary step towards eradicating extreme poverty in Uttar Pradesh. With a focused approach on marginalized communities and a holistic support system, the Yogi government is hoping to set a new milestone in poverty alleviation efforts through this scheme. If successful, the plan could serve as a model for other states that want to combat poverty through integrated and targeted welfare programs.
As the plan is implemented, all eyes will be on its implementation and impact. The success of this initiative could mark a significant achievement in the fight against poverty, creating a blueprint for inclusive growth and social upliftment in India.
