One lakh jobs in next 6 months, declares Yogi

In a major announcement, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on August 25 that the state government will issue appointment letters to one lakh young people over the next six months.In his speech at an appointment letter distribution programme, the CM highlighted the govt's record on recruitment since 2017. He said more than 9.30 lakh government jobs had been provided in Uttar Pradesh over the past nine-and-a-half years. He claimed that none of these appointments had faced a challenge in the recruitment process.The CM was speaking at an event in Lucknow where appointment letters were handed over to 3,446 technical assistants and 126 market secretaries.The chief minister said the government would issue appointment letters to the next batch of one lakh candidates on a weekly basis during the coming six months. The announcement comes as employment and recruitment remain important political issues in the state.Also read | Gadkari says cant work much now after 30 yrs serviceAdityanath contrasted the current recruitment process with the system that existed before 2017, alleging that government vacancies were then affected by corruption, delays and political interference.He said recruitment advertisements were often followed by prolonged uncertainty, with candidates waiting for results and courts eventually intervening.According to the chief minister, the problem was not a lack of merit among young people but alleged corruption within recruitment bodies and government institutions. He said selecting candidates transparently and without discrimination allows the state to make better use of its human resources.Adityanath also linked the governments recruitment policy to its stated zero-tolerance approach towards crime and corruption.He said the administration would continue its action against organised networks involved in examination cheating and promised strict punishment for those running such operations.The chief minister also sought to address concerns over sugar availability in Uttar Pradesh. He said the state does not face a sugar shortage and has sufficient stocks to meet domestic requirements.Also read | Rajasthan HCs school reset: Junk food, screensUttar Pradesh consumes about four lakh tonnes of sugar a month, while the state currently has around 28 lakh tonnes in stock, Adityanath said. This, he added, amounts to roughly seven months of supply.He added that sugar mills are expected to resume operations from October 15, with the state projected to produce another 90 lakh tonnes of sugar.Adityanath said Uttar Pradesh has the production capacity to meet its own requirements and contribute to supplies for the wider country.The chief minister also pointed to overseas employment opportunities for workers from the state. He said countries including Japan, Germany and Israel were showing interest in recruiting young people from Uttar Pradesh.Adityanath said around 5,000 workers from the state had already gone to Israel for employment and were earning about Rs 1.5 lakh a month, with food and accommodation provided.He also used the occasion to compare the states current situation with conditions before 2017. Adityanath said Uttar Pradesh had previously faced problems involving migration, farmer distress, concerns over women's safety and the influence of criminal groups.The chief minister said the governments focus on recruitment, law and order and employment opportunities was aimed at changing that perception and creating more opportunities for the states young population.
