UP Government Launches Mega Digital Drive, Targets 25 Lakh Tablets for Students
The Uttar Pradesh government is preparing to expand digital education opportunities for the next generation through a large-scale tablet distribution programme. Under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s initiative, around 50,000 students will receive tablets in the first phase of the latest campaign, while the government has set a target of distributing 25 lakh tablets during the 2026–27 financial year.
The distribution drive will begin on November 15 at the Rashtra Prerna Sthal in Lucknow, where Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is scheduled to launch the programme. Students from Lucknow, Hardoi, Sitapur and Unnao will participate in the event and receive the digital devices.
The initiative will be implemented under the Swami Vivekananda Yuva Sashaktikaran Yojana. The objective is to connect students with digital learning resources and emerging technologies, enabling them to use technology more effectively in their education.
25 Lakh Tablets Targeted in 2026–27
The government plans to distribute approximately 25 lakh tablets across the state during 2026–27. Officials have described the Lucknow event as the beginning of this expanded distribution phase. A similar programme is also planned in Gorakhpur, although its date and the number of beneficiaries have not yet been announced.
According to the government, around 60 lakh tablets and smartphones have already been distributed since 2021. The new target is expected to further expand access to digital devices among students and young people.
The initiative is part of the state's broader effort to promote technology-based education and strengthen digital access among the younger generation.
