Preparations have begun already for the Prime Minister’s visit. Out of the projects that the Prime Minister will inaugurate, 110 projects worth around ₹2,500 crore will be of Mahakumbh-2025, while projects worth ₹1,000 crore will be of the district of varied nature, officials said, requesting anonymity, as the formal intimation regarding PM’s visit is still awaited.
After the list of projects was sought from the state government for these projects, the Prayagraj Mela Authority and the district administration have started preparations for the proposed visit of the PM in earnest, said officials.
UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath, who came to Prayagraj on October 6, had also indicated the possible visit of the PM ahead of the Mahakumbh-2025, they claimed.
After getting indications from the CM, the Prayagraj Mela Authority had started preparing a list of the projects that the PM could inaugurate.

An SDM-level official was appointed by the Prayagraj Mela Authority to prepare this list. Officials said that the Prime Minister will inaugurate only permanent projects during his visit.
