UP’s fifth-largest exporting state, Bhadohi’s carpets make a major contribution: CM Yogi

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 4 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said the state has become the country’s fifth-largest exporting state with exports crossing Rs 2 lakh crore, and announced that he will inaugurate the golden jubilee edition of the international handmade carpet trade fair, ‘India Carpet Expo’, in Bhadohi.
In a post shared on X, CM Yogi said Uttar Pradesh’s exports have increased by nearly 2.27 times in the last 10 years and highlighted Bhadohi’s carpets as a major contributor to the state’s exports.
“The talent of Bhadohi once had to find its own way, but today the government is opening new doors of development, markets and opportunities for it. The state’s exports have increased by nearly 2.27 times in the last 10 years and have crossed Rs 2 lakh crore. Uttar Pradesh is the fifth-largest exporting state in the country. Bhadohi’s carpets make a major contribution to these exports," CM Yogi said.

पहले भदोही का हुनर अपनी राह तलाशता था, आज सरकार उसके लिए विकास, बाजार और अवसर के नए द्वार खोल रही है। प्रदेश का निर्यात पिछले 10 वर्षों में लगभग 2.27 गुना बढ़कर आज ₹2 लाख करोड़ के पार पहुंच चुका है और उत्तर प्रदेश देश का 5वां सबसे बड़ा निर्यातक राज्य है। निर्यात में भदोही के कालीन का बड़ा योगदान है। जिन हाथों ने अपने हुनर से भदोही के कालीनों को दुनिया तक पहुंचाया, वर्ष 2017 से पहले वही हाथ बुनियादी सुविधाओं और अवसरों के लिए प्रतीक्षा करते रहे। आज डबल इंजन सरकार में वही हुनर विकास और वैश्विक बाजार, दोनों से जुड़ रहा है। हाथ से बनी भदोही की कालीनों की मांग आज पूरी दुनिया में सबसे अधिक है, जो वैश्विक मंच पर उत्तर प्रदेश के हुनर का लोहा मनवा रही हैं। एशिया के सबसे बड़े अंतरराष्ट्रीय हस्तनिर्मित कालीन व्यापार मेले 'इंडिया कारपेट एक्सपो' के स्वर्ण जयंती संस्करण का आज शुभारंभ कर कालीन उद्योग के निर्यातकों, विक्रेताओं एवं उद्यमियों से संवाद करूंगा। इस अवसर पर भदोही, औराई एवं ज्ञानपुर विधान सभा क्षेत्रों को ₹1,340 करोड़ से अधिक की 112 विकास परियोजनाओं की सौगात मिलेगी और विभिन्न योजनाओं के लाभार्थियों को हितलाभ प्रदान किए जाएंगे। कारीगर के हाथ को सम्मान, उद्यम को विस्तार, युवाओं को रोजगार और भदोही को समृद्धि, यही नए उत्तर प्रदेश में विरासत और विकास के संगम की नई पहचान है।

The CM wrote that the same hands that took Bhadohi’s carpets to the world through their craftsmanship had, before 2017, continued to wait for basic facilities and opportunities.
"Today, under the double-engine government, the same craftsmanship is being connected with development and the global market. The demand for Bhadohi’s hand-made carpets is today the highest in the world, earning recognition for Uttar Pradesh’s craftsmanship on the global stage," he said.
CM Yogi said he would inaugurate the golden jubilee edition of the international handmade carpet trade fair, ‘India Carpet Expo’, and interact with exporters, sellers and entrepreneurs associated with the carpet industry.
“Today he will inaugurate the golden jubilee edition of Asia’s largest international handmade carpet trade fair, ‘India Carpet Expo’, and interact with exporters, sellers and entrepreneurs of the carpet industry. Respect for the artisan’s hands, expansion of enterprise, employment for the youth and prosperity for Bhadohi - this is the new identity of the confluence of heritage and development in the new Uttar Pradesh," he said.
The Chief Minister wrote that on this occasion, 112 development projects worth more than Rs 1,340 crore will be gifted to the Bhadohi, Aurai and Gyanpur Assembly constituencies, and beneficiaries of various schemes will be provided benefits. (ANI)
