The Aayog had been asked by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) to provide a blueprint for development and transformation of Uttar Pradesh, where BJP won the assembly elections with a thumping majority in March.

The delegation also took feedback from officials of the state government to form a collective agenda.


The meeting is first of its kind where state specific measures are being suggested to a Chief Minister by the NITI Aayog on the development programs and strategies to be adopted to improve the social as well as economic indicators. (ANI)
