Lucknow: The Yogi government is set to intensify its efforts in providing employment opportunities by accelerating the organization of Rozgar Melas across Uttar Pradesh. Following the successful organization of three such fairs in August, the government plans to hold employment fairs in four districts over the next ten days, aiming to create around 30,000 job opportunities.
These employment fairs are scheduled to take place in Mainpuri on August 27, Aligarh on August 28, Mirzapur on September 1, and Moradabad on September 2. In each district, 1,000 appointment letters will be distributed to successful candidates. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is expected to attend these events as the chief guest.
Earlier in August, the Yogi government organized employment fairs in Ambedkarnagar on August 17, Ayodhya on August 18, and Muzaffarnagar on August 22, during which more than 17,000 appointment letters were distributed.
Kapil Dev Agarwal, the Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Vocational Education, Skill Development, and Entrepreneurship in the Uttar Pradesh government, emphasized the ongoing efforts to connect skilled youth with employment through the Rozgar Mela initiative. He noted that under the guidance of CM Yogi, large-scale employment fairs are being organized in various districts to provide job opportunities for trained individuals.
The state government is actively working to ensure that those who receive training under the Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission are successfully linked with employment. As part of this initiative, upcoming Rozgar Melas are scheduled in Mainpuri, Aligarh, Mirzapur, and Moradabad, where approximately 30,000 job opportunities will be offered.
Additionally, 4,000 appointment letters, including 1,000 in each district, will be handed out to successful candidates. Around 50 reputed companies from across the country will participate in each district’s fair, where they will conduct interviews and offer jobs to the youth.
The Yogi government has successfully distributed over 17,000 appointment letters through a series of Rozgar Melas organized in August. In Ayodhya and Ambedkarnagar alone, more than 12,000 appointment letters were handed out, with an additional 5,000 distributed in Muzaffarnagar.
These employment fairs, conducted within just six days, saw participation from various companies offering jobs to the youth in sectors such as manufacturing, engineering, telecom, healthcare, construction, and IT.
The Yogi government is expanding employment opportunities for the youth, not only in government positions but also in private companies. The government is running various programs aimed at enhancing the skills of the youth. The plan for 2024 includes employing a large number of young people in private companies through these Rozgar Melas.
Reflecting on the broader impact of the government’s efforts, over the past seven and a half years, more than six and a half lakh youth have secured government jobs, and an additional 3.75 lakh have been connected to jobs through contracts. In the private sector and MSMEs, the government has facilitated employment for nearly two crore individuals.
The Yogi government is actively working to create employment opportunities for the youth of Uttar Pradesh, with a series of targeted programs being organized to meet this objective. In line with these efforts, CM Yogi had said that during the Rozgar Mela in Muzaffarnagar on August 22 the state government plans to provide government jobs to two lakh youth over the next two years.
The Chief Minister urged the youth to grab upcoming government job opportunities across the state. As a testament to the government’s commitment, the police recruitment examination is currently being conducted for over 60,000 posts, with plans underway to create additional jobs in various other departments.
