Early Times Report
LUCKNOW, July 3: In a landmark decision, the Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has approved the formation of the Uttar Pradesh Rozgar Mission during the Cabinet meeting held on Thursday. The mission aims to provide job opportunities not only across India, but also abroad-and this time, directly through the state government's support system.
Sharing details of the Cabinet meeting, Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna informed that 30 proposals were approved, including this transformative employment initiative.
The visionary move by CM Yogi is set to empower the youth of Uttar Pradesh, while positioning the state as a global human resource hub. The mission aligns with the government's promise of "Employment for Every Hand and Respect for Every Skill", reflecting its commitment to meaningful and inclusive growth.
After the Cabinet meeting, Labour Minister Anil Rajbhar shared that until now, the Employment Department was mainly helping unemployed youth through Rozgar Melas and employers. But with the launch of the Uttar Pradesh Rozgar Mission, the state will now be able to directly help youth get jobs both in India and abroad. He added that the mission aims to provide jobs to 1 lakh youth in India and 25,000-30,000 youth abroad within a year.
He further shared that in earlier times, the state depended on licensed recruiting agents (RAs) for foreign job placements. But with this mission, the government will now have its own RA license, allowing it to send people abroad for jobs directly. He also said that there is a rising demand globally for UP's skilled workforce-especially in paramedical, nursing, driving, and technical fields. This mission will help tap into that potential. |
