Shahjahanpur district in Uttar Pradesh has witnessed remarkable growth in investments, infrastructure development, revival of traditional crafts, and enhancement of educational facilities over the past nine years, according to a government spokesperson.
Educational Infrastructure Expansion
The district has seen the establishment of a new medical college, which is set to be complemented by an upcoming university. The medical college has been named after freedom fighter Ram Prasad Bismil and features world-class infrastructure and facilities. It includes a state-of-the-art laboratory, attracting students from across the state and country who are pursuing their MBBS degrees there.
University Recognition and Connectivity
Swami Shukdevanand College will now be officially recognised as a university, marking a significant upgrade in the district's higher education landscape. Additionally, improved connectivity with the Ganga Expressway has opened new avenues for investments, facilitating economic growth and development.
Industrial and Economic Development
An industrial corridor is currently under development in Shahjahanpur, with existing industries like a cement factory and sugar mills providing employment to thousands of local youth. The revival of the traditional cottage industry of zari ardozi under the One District, One Product scheme has given a new lease of life to local artisans, preserving cultural heritage while boosting the local economy.
Governance and Law Enforcement
District Magistrate Dharmendra Pratap Singh emphasized that special attention is being given to law and order in the region. During public hearings, victims receive immediate assistance, ensuring prompt resolution of grievances and maintaining public trust in administrative processes.
This comprehensive development initiative reflects a concerted effort to transform Shahjahanpur into a hub of education, industry, and cultural preservation, with ongoing projects promising continued growth and opportunities for residents.
