As part of its ambitious Rising 100 Cities series, Network18, in collaboration with Maruti Suzuki and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, hosted Rising Jaunpur, an event celebrating the city’s evolving landscape where tradition meets transformation.

Held at Motel Utsav, the event provided a powerful platform to discuss Jaunpur’s progress in sustainability, digital innovation, and community development.

Jaunpur, renowned for its historical and cultural legacy, is now embracing modern advancements, positioning itself as a key player in Uttar Pradesh’s development roadmap. The event brought together key decision-makers, administrators, and change-makers, including Dr. Dinesh Chandra (DM, Jaunpur), SK Singh (ARTO), Dr. Jhanvi Shrivastava (Nodal Officer, Kaushal Vikas & Professor, Purvanchal University), Dr. Digvijay Singh Rathore (Cyber Crime Expert & Professor, Purvanchal University), Pawan Kumar (Executive Officer, Nagar Palika), Natthulal Gangwar (Jila Panchayat Adhikari), Abhishek Singh (Social Worker), and Ramesh Mishra (MLA, TBC).

Their discussions delved into Jaunpur’s urban transformation, focusing on technological advancements, road safety (Sadak Suraksha), sanitation initiatives (Swachh Bharat), and skill development.

The collective insights emphasized Jaunpur’s potential as a catalyst for regional and national growth, balancing its rich cultural roots with futuristic aspirations.

The Rising 100 Cities initiative by Network18 is committed to highlighting India’s emerging urban and semi-urban centers, fostering essential conversations on their challenges and opportunities.

Following Jaunpur, the series will continue its journey through Raebareli, Varanasi, Faridabad, and other key cities, capturing the dynamic narratives shaping India’s future.
