VARANASI:

Adityanath noted that while Varanasi has always been an ancient seat of learning, its educational institutions were once in disarray. However, over the past 11 years, the city has launched development projects worth more than Rs 50,000 crore, focusing on health, tourism, infrastructure, and connectivity. "Devotees from across the country are now thronging to witness the new and rejuvenated Kashi. This is the same Kashi once known for its narrow lanes and persistent traffic congestion. Today, it stands tall as a symbol of modern development seamlessly blending with its ancient heritage," he said.
