"The investment will create a large number of employment opportunities, which will directly benefit our youth. Taking inspiration from foreign and domestic investor road shows, many districts organized investor conferences at the district level and received investment proposals worth thousands of crores. Similar efforts should be made in all the districts as well. All the districts will be connected with the main function organized in Lucknow on 10th February. Everyone will get the guidance of the Prime Minister. Local investors and entrepreneurs should also be invited to this programme," he added.
The Chief Minister said that the public representatives should make the country and the world aware of the potential of their area. Due to this, the investment will be attracted, industrial units will be set up and employment opportunities will be created.
"The MPs/MLAs should maintain communication with the investors even where the Investors' Conference has been organised. Understand their needs/expectations, inform them about industrial policies, and sectoral policies of the state government and encourage them to invest," Yogi said.
