The governor underscored that the state’s dairy achievement is part of a broader pattern of excellence across national flagship government schemes. UP has consistently secured first or second place nationally in major programs owing to “planned efforts and effective implementation,” spanning financial inclusion, insurance enrollment, and housing initiatives.

In addition to dairy, Uttar Pradesh leads the country in several agricultural output categories, including sugarcane and sugar, foodgrains, mangoes, and potatoes, reinforcing its role as a key contributor to India’s agri-food economy. The dairy peak and crop performance together enhance rural livelihoods and strengthen the state’s agricultural footprint.

Governor Patel also highlighted UP’s performance in social and economic welfare schemes — such as the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, insurance and pension enrollments, and Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojana — reflecting broad public engagement and the expansion of financial inclusion across the state.
