| Yogi govt to provide skill training to members of families identified under Zero Poverty Campaign | | |  Early Times Report
LUCKNOW, July 20: In a determined effort to eliminate poverty at its roots, the Yogi government is launching a major initiative under its Zero Poverty Campaign in Uttar Pradesh. As part of this drive, members of families identified through the campaign will receive guaranteed skill training, along with active support in securing employment with reputed national and international companies.
The goal is to link economically vulnerable families with stable livelihood opportunities, ensuring a steady income and a better quality of life. With this initiative, the government has made its intent clear: no family in the state should have to struggle for basic necessities like food due to poverty.
Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh said that CM Yogi's Zero Poverty Campaign is one of the key initiatives of the government aimed at truly empowering the poor. He explained that this effort is not just about making people economically self-reliant, but also about promoting social harmony and equal opportunities. He added that the campaign could become a model for the entire country, where the government and industries work together to fight poverty.
The Chief Secretary informed that under this campaign, the head of each identified poor family will be enrolled in a guaranteed skill training program. In the first phase, heads of 300 families will receive skill training, followed by all identified families across the state. This training will be provided by the Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Department, with support from around 1,000 training partners.
The Chief Secretary elaborated that the training will follow a comprehensive 360-degree approach, focusing on seven essential skill areas - including office and toilet cleaning, guest handling, housekeeping, and hospitality. To boost participants' confidence in professional environments, language skills will also be a key part of the curriculum. The training will be aligned with industry standards to ensure both quality and relevance, equipping candidates to succeed in the corporate sector.
He said that once the training is complete, candidates will be placed in jobs with leading national and international companies such as Hotel Taj, State Bank of India (SBI), L&T Limited, Medanta, and the Adani Group. This is the first time a government is directly connecting the poor to private sector jobs through skill training. The Yogi government has also ensured that trained individuals will earn a minimum monthly salary of Rs 18,400, helping them support their families with dignity. |
