Greater Noida, September 19: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today reviewed preparations for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show (UPITS-2025) with police and administrative officials at the India Expo Mart auditorium in Greater Noida. The Chief Minister instructed officials to ensure seamless arrangements, security, and convenience for participants. He said the event will not only present the state’s rich traditions, skills, and products on a global stage but will also highlight the Vocal for Local and Make in India campaigns.

Emphasizing broad-based participation, the Chief Minister said, ” Every district must actively take part in the trade show with dedicated One District, One Product (ODOP) stalls. These stalls will showcase each district’s unique handicrafts, food items, and industrial products before international buyers and investors.” He stressed that UPITS-2025 should serve as more than an exhibition, it must be a global platform to project Uttar Pradesh’s diversity, cultural heritage, and entrepreneurial talent. This, he noted, will open new avenues of business, investment, and employment, especially for the youth.

CM Yogi further instructed that UPITS-2025 be widely branded and promoted across districts and educational institutions to enhance its visibility and impact. Colleges, universities, and schools will display posters, digital screens, and event information on their campuses, creating awareness among students, faculty, and the local community about entrepreneurship and innovation. He particularly emphasized the active involvement of Gautam Buddha University students, underlining that their participation would provide invaluable hands-on experience along with opportunities in employment and entrepreneurship.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, “Experts from leading film cities across the country will be invited to participate in the fashion show organised as part of the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show (UPITS-2025).” He said the objective is to give Khadi, handicrafts, and village industry products greater visibility and international recognition. The Chief Minister emphasized that this initiative will not only promote the state’s traditional crafts and industries but also create new avenues for young designers and local artisans by connecting them with wider markets. The fashion show will feature dedicated catwalks and exhibitions, highlighting the superior quality and aesthetic appeal of Khadi and village industry products on a global stage. He noted that such efforts will help strengthen the rural economy while fostering entrepreneurship, innovation, and employment opportunities for the youth.

The Chief Minister also directed that special arrangements be made for the elderly and senior citizens visiting the event. Shuttle services should operate from the NASA parking lot to ensure a smooth and comfortable access to the venue. He stressed that security and operational responsibilities must be strictly enforced, with a clear prohibition on minors driving e-rickshaws or vehicles. Detailed safety, guidance, and convenience protocols should be in place to ensure a secure, organized, and welcoming experience for all attendees. He further highlighted the importance of giving special attention to the security, accommodation, transportation, and overall comfort of foreign buyers and guests, ensuring a hospitable and safe environment that strengthens Uttar Pradesh’s global image.

The meeting was attended by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Minister Rakesh Sachan, Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi, along with other public representatives and officials. Additional Chief Secretary (MSME) Alok Kumar presented an update on the preparations through a detailed presentation.
