YOGI ADITYANATH, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, has completed over 100 days at the helm of the state government in his second term. But it has not been easy going for his government. With countries around the world battling economic uncertainty, policymakers in the state government are busy charting a way out of the quagmire and preparing a road map for the country's most populous state to cross the milestone of having an economy worth $1 trillion by the end of 2027.

Currently, the state's economy is pegged at $0.254 trillion with agriculture constituting 20-22 percent share of the pie; industry at 18-20 percent share; and the services sector cornering a 45-50 percent share. Even in the backdrop of such uncertainties, the state government is confident of achieving its goals on the back of the reforms and policy initiatives introduced by the government in the first 100 days.
