The unit would come up in the Sarojininagar area of the city. The cabinet also cleared the proposal for direct bank transfer of cash to students of classes 1 to 8 to purchase school uniforms, books, sweaters, socks and shoes. The cabinet approved the easing of rules of the UP Defence and Aerospace Unit and EMPLOYMENT Generation Policy of 2018.
