Rationale

Uttar Pradesh (UP) is a front-runner in India’s economic success story, having the third-highest gross state domestic product among states, growing at 7.6% CAGR over the last 5 years. However, the state has one of the lowest FLFPRs among top state economies and ranks at 25 out of 28 states with 22.6% female LFPR (PLFS, 2020-21). The state envisions building a USD 1 trillion economy by 2027. To achieve this the government aims to bring in women as key partners in the state’s economic growth.
