The campaign reflects the Samajwadi Party’s strategy to engage youth, small businesses and diverse communities to build consensus on a forward-looking agenda.

The Vision India programmes, which started in Bengaluru last year, were later followed by programmes in Hyderabad, Bhubaneswar, Mumbai, Jaipur and Ghaziabad.

Sources in the SP reveal that in the run-up to the 2027 UP assembly polls these Vision India Summits will also be organised in Noida, Prayagraj, Varanasi, Kanpur and Jhansi.

In a social media post on Sunday, Akhilesh Yadav highlighted that India has become a country where ordinary citizens face difficulties at every step. He positioned Vision India as a positive, practical and progressive roadmap to create a bright future by transforming the nation into a ‘Neo India’ - a modern, inclusive, discrimination-free and developed country.

The Vision India programme promotes innovation, collaboration and progress through seminars and summits across the country.

Its three core pillars are: Plan - envisioning India’s future and identifying opportunities and challenges; Develop - fostering dialogue and practical solutions for rapid advancement; and Ascent - positioning India as a global leader in innovation and technology.
