While this will provide accurate economic data to the Yogi government, on the other hand, the youth will also get employment and skill development opportunities.
Small entrepreneurs and businessmen will get a big benefit

The Yogi government is taking steps towards making women self-reliant by providing them data collection, technical training and the facility to work on digital platforms.
The Yogi government’s economic census will also provide economic recognition to small entrepreneurs and traders of Uttar Pradesh. This census is an important effort to get the state’s micro, small, medium enterprises (SSMEs) recognized at the national and international level. The Yogi government will use the data obtained from the census to formulate the right policy, so that small enterprises can get financial assistance, access to new markets, business training and technical support. This will benefit small traders from both rural and urban areas equally. This census will be completely digital, which will not only increase efficiency, but will also speed up data collection.

IT experts will ensure the quality and veracity of the data through the system. This will reduce the economic gap between village and city. Small enterprises will be promoted in villages, which will provide employment to rural youth. Startups and MSMEs will be empowered in urban areas, which will boost local production. Economic policies will be formulated with an inclusive approach so that every citizen can benefit.
