Cabinet clears Yuge Yugeen Bharat museum, Noida-Greater Noida metro and Rs 62,370 crore fertiliser subsidy

The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, took five major decisions related to the country's development at a meeting on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. They include a museum to showcase India's cultural heritage to the world, a Noida-Greater Noida metro project and a fertiliser subsidy for farmers. Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw briefed the media on the decisions.

The first decision is to build a grand museum named "Yuge Yugeen Bharat". It will showcase India's rich cultural and historical heritage to the world. Rs 3,230 crore will be spent on the project. It has been described as the world's largest museum, and will offer glimpses of Indian history, culture and traditions.

In the second decision, the Cabinet approved an 8.5-km metro rail project between Noida and Greater Noida. The project is expected to make travel between the two cities easier and also boost public transport.

The third decision concerns farmers and is meant to give them major relief. Rs 62,370 crore has been approved as fertiliser subsidy for the rabi season. This will help make fertiliser available to farmers at subsidised prices.

The fourth decision is aimed at promoting young entrepreneurs. A credit guarantee fund of Rs 5,000 crore will be created under the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana. The fund is meant to give young people financial support to start businesses and expand their enterprises.

The fifth decision relates to the Stand-Up India scheme. A credit guarantee fund of Rs 4,111 crore will be created under the scheme to promote entrepreneurs from the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and women. The decision is expected to speed up entrepreneurship among disadvantaged sections.

Taken together, the five decisions show the government's emphasis on preserving cultural heritage, developing infrastructure, supporting farmers financially, and promoting young people and women entrepreneurs.
