Varanasi: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said that Uttar Pradesh has immense potential in the pharmaceutical sector and is set to emerge as a major pharmaceutical centre within the country in the times to come as it provides adequate manpower, better road connectivity, adequate land bank and safe environment and sector-wise policies.
Chief Minister Yogi while addressing the experts, stakeholders, and entrepreneurs associated with the pharma sector at a National Seminar on Pharma Sector held at Asha College of Pharmacy and Research Centre, invited them to invest in Uttar Pradesh.
He added that the six G-20 meetings to be held in Varanasi, three in Lucknow and one each in Agra and Gautam Buddh Nagar as well as the upcoming Global Investors Summit are big opportunities for the state to explore opportunities to boost the pharmaceutical industry in order to expand its presence in the global medicine market.
The Chief Minister said, "About 30 crore people depend on the health services of UP. The only two major drug markets between Lucknow and Patna are in Varanasi and Gorakhpur. Medicines are supplied to Patna from Varanasi and to Kathmandu from Gorakhpur. Therefore, a lot needs to be done in this field. Along with research work, we will also have to build new institutions."
