Transforming Uttar Pradesh: An Upcoming Multi-modal Connectivity Hub

-

 

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath

Infrastructure and connectivity are important parameters that decide the economic weight of any state. Infrastructure initiatives in productive capacity building by bridging connectivity gaps and reducing logistics costs, ensure seamless flow of goods and services.

Uttar Pradesh is positioning itself as a multi-modal logistics and transportation hub in northern India. The sheer number of infrastructure projects that have been recently completed and are on-going in the state is evidence of this fact. The diverse nature of infrastructure projects - a combination of road, rail, air and waterway initiatives - makes it more progressive.

In 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced plans to make Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh a multi-modal logistics and transportation hub, by investing Rs 3,883.80 crores. It is a suburban district in western Uttar Pradesh and a part of the Delhi National Capital Region. It is a part of three infrastructural proposals worth Rs 7,725 crores for the setting-up of greenfield industrial cities with connectivity to major transportation corridors such as the eastern and western Dedicated Freight Corridors, Expressways and National Highways.

They, as proposed by the Department for Promotion of Industry & Internal Trade, Government of India, are part of the construction of various trunk infrastructure components for the Krishnapatnam Industrial Area in Andhra Pradesh, Tumakuru Industrial Area in Karnataka, and a Multi-modal Logistics Hub and Multi-modal Transport Hub at Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh

Besides this, the construction of a greenfield airport at Jewar (Noida International Airport) is another key initiative to promote seamless connectivity from and with Uttar-Pradesh. It is believed that this airport will be the largest in India. Its first phase is expected to be completed in 2024 and will employ over 200,000 persons during its construction phase.

Indian scientists develop better technique to detect Covid-19

A team of Indian scientists has developed a new technology platform for fluorometric detection of SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) that is more reliable than the existing techniques, according to information provided by the Ministry of Science and Technology.  The technology platform detects viruses by measuring the fluorescent light that is emitted and can also be used to detect other DNA/RNA pathogens such as HIV, influenza, HCV, Zika, Ebola, bacteria, and other mutating pathogens. Scientists from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, an autonomous institute of the government, along with scientists from IISc (India Institute of Science), have demonstrated a noncanonical nucleic acid-based G-quadruplex (GQ) topology targeted reliable conformational polymorphism (GQ-RCP) platform to diagnose Covid-19 clinical samples. This work has been published recently in the journal ‘ACS Sensors’ and the team has also filed a patent for the novel technology. Read More
