CM said, in the last 9 years we have given a systematic structure to more than 70 thousand Anganwadi centers in the state. Taking aim at the opposition, Yogi said that Samajwadi Party and Congress had also put the mafia's noose on the nutrition of innocent children. The primary schools of the state were in poor condition during the SP government. There were no buildings, no teachers and no students, there was a situation of anarchy. Be it Operation Kayakalp or Nipun Bharat Abhiyan, Project Alankar scheme in secondary education, PM Shri's schools or Chief Minister's Composite Vidyalaya, all of them have become models in the field of education today.
