The program facilitated scholarship and fee reimbursement to student accounts, marking a significant stride against corruption.
Highlighting the contrast between governance styles, Adityanath criticized the previous Samajwadi Party administration. He argued that corruption flourishes under the 'family first' sentiment, whereas nation-oriented policies ensure benefits reach all sections indiscriminately.
