During a meeting of the Council of Ministers chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, a proposal to increase the honorarium of Shiksha Mitras (para-teachers) from ₹10,000 to ₹18,000 was given the green signal.

To bring about revolutionary changes in the transport sector, the Cabinet has approved the construction of 49 new bus terminals under the PPP (Public-Private Partnership) model. These bus terminals will be fully equipped with modern amenities, modeled entirely after airports. This decision will directly benefit 52 districts across the state, providing passengers with world-class facilities.
Bus Stations Modeled After Airports
According to a proposal by the Transport Department, bus terminals equipped with airport-like amenities will be developed across the state. Following the initiation of the development process for 23 bus terminals in the first phase, approval has now been granted for 49 additional new stations. An agreement has been reached to provide 2 hectares of land belonging to the Agriculture Department—free of cost—for the construction of a bus terminal in Sikandrarao, Hathras. Furthermore, land owned by the Irrigation Department in Dibai (Bulandshahr) and by the PWD in Tulsipur (Balrampur) will be transferred for the establishment of bus terminals.
