Boost To Bundelkhand: UP CM Inaugurates HUL Plant

The proposal was approved by CM Yogi Adityanath at a Cabinet meeting on Friday.

LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath officially opened Hindustan Unilever India Limited’s new facility, with a 70 percent female workforce, in Sumerpur in the Hamirpur district.

Stating that the plant will be a big boost to the economy of the Bundelkhand region, CM Yogi stated that Hindustan Unilever Limited has linked the Mission Shakti UP campaign to the whole project on this occasion. Employment has been made available, particularly by connecting it with an increasing number of local daughters and women, he added.

101 women, or 70 percent of the workforce, have been employed as part of the Uttar Pradesh government’s ‘Mission Shakti’. The facility will hire another 153 female staff members soon. People with impairments are also given precedence in the facility.

“An investment of rupees 700 crores will create lakhs of direct and indirect employment in Bundelkhand,” said CM Yogi.
