The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh has unveiled its 'Zero Poverty Campaign,' a pioneering initiative designed to lift economically vulnerable families out of poverty through skill training and job placements.

Officials disclosed that the program seeks to connect these families with stable employment opportunities, ensuring a consistent income and improved quality of life. The campaign, seen as a potential model for the nation, emphasizes social harmony and equal opportunity alongside financial independence.
