LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday directed senior officers to assess the progress made in aspirational districts and development blocks in the state.

In a high-level review meeting here on Wednesday, the chief minister directed eight principal secretary/secretary-level officers to conduct a three-day visit to the eight aspirational districts. Besides, 108 special secretary-level officers will be assigned to inspect progress in as many aspirational development blocks.

The visits aim to evaluate the tangible changes from the inception of these initiatives to the present and compile detailed reports. The chief minister's office will finalize the list of designated officers, a state government spokesperson said.

The chief minister emphasized that the government's priority, aligned with NITI Aayog's vision, is to ensure that development reaches the last person in the queue.

Describing the programmes as a living embodiment of the "Antyodaya" philosophy, he laid stress on the need for continuous monitoring and outcome-driven strategies to accelerate progress at district and block levels.
