<h1>Uttar Pradesh's Economic Transformation: From 'BIMARU' to Thriving State with 13.5% Growth in Agriculture.</h1> Uttar Pradesh has transformed from a struggling state to a leading economic force in India over the past eight years, according to the Chief Minister. He attributed this progress to policies under the National Democratic Alliance government, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, and Prime Minister's focus on service, security, and governance. Previously categorized as a 'BIMARU' state, Uttar Pradesh has seen significant growth, particularly in agriculture, with the growth rate increasing from 5% in 2016-17 to over 13.5%. The state's economic revival began with a major loan waiver for farmers, boosting food grain production by nearly 20%.
