Bill Gates meets UP CM Akhilesh to discuss healthcare projects | Microsoft founder Bill Gates met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav here on Wednesday to
discuss the healthcare programmes in the state, which his charitable foundation
intends to sponsor. Gates met Yadav at his official residence here along with
members of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a charitable organisation that
he runs along with his wife. MLA Anupriya Patel after the meeting said that some
districts had been identified by the foundation to flourish under its programme.
"Today, we had a meeting with Mr. Bill Gates and some welfare schemes in Uttar
Pradesh are being invited by his foundation. The state government and his foundation
want to work together on some welfare schemes and process will start from some
selected districts," Patel told media about the meeting. "Right now, we did not
have such detailed discussion and the honourable Chief Minister would be in the
best position to brief journalists on this meeting in detail," she added, when
asked about the other issues that were discussed and whether there was any talk
on investment.
