Yogi Adityanath At Closing Ceremony Of NTS 2026: The whole country sleeps peacefully because of the awake eyes of our soldiers, Yogi Adityanath said while praising the courage of the army.

New Delhi. UP CM Yogi Adityanath reached Prayagraj for the closing ceremony of North Tech Symposium (NTS) 2026 based on Defense Triveni theme. Addressing the program here, he said, the Defense Manufacturing Corridor within Uttar Pradesh seems to be progressing rapidly. We are moving effectively towards achieving the goal of self-reliance in the defense sector. ‘Nation First’ is not just a slogan for us, it is a resolve that resides in the breath of every Indian soldier. This should be a mantra of life for every Indian because nothing is greater than the nation. Nation is paramount for us.

Yogi Adityanath said, I believe that whether our soldiers face the freezing cold of Siachen, the scorching sand of the desert, the darkness of dense forests or the infinite challenges of the sea and sky, where life comes to a halt, the duty of our soldiers begins. Wherever the feet of our soldiers fall, India’s borders become stronger. The whole country sleeps peacefully because of the awake eyes of our soldiers. Today war is no longer limited to just water, land and air, but today it has entered the era of multidomain operations and we have seen this through Operation Sindoor last year.

UP CM said, strength is always essential for the prosperity of the nation and prosperity does not come from resources alone, rather it requires a strong base of security and stability. With Kanpur IIT, we are working towards developing a Center of Excellence for Drones. More than 21,000 startups have been established in different sectors within Uttar Pradesh. Today, under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is moving from an import-oriented to an export-oriented nation.
