Earlier, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi visited the International Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan on November 16 describing it as the largest trade fair in Asia.

"This is the biggest trade fair in Asia. It provides an opportunity for India's MSME entrepreneurs to showcase their products. Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the initiative has been presented on a global platform under the 'One District, One Product' scheme. Through this, we have successfully connected crores of youth with jobs and employment," said CM Yogi.

"Before 2017, Uttar Pradesh was seen as a hurdle to India's development, marked by disappointment and frustration. Today, the state boasts the largest MSME base in the country," he added.
