| Previous regimes took money, couldn’t face candidates: CM Yogi | | |  Early Times Report
Lucknow, Sept 7: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Sunday, handed over appointment letters to newly selected instructors and said that under his government, recruitment has become transparent and merit-based, unlike in previous regimes where “so much money was taken that they could not even look into the eyes of candidates.”
At a program held in Lok Bhavan, the Chief Minister personally distributed appointment letters to 11 instructors, while a total of 1,510 candidates received letters through the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC). Similar ceremonies were organized across districts. CM Yogi congratulated the newly appointed instructors and their families, saying that jobs in Uttar Pradesh are now earned through honesty and hard work.
Highlighting the government’s employment drive, the CM said that in the last eight years, 8.5 lakh youths have been provided government jobs, with recruitment processes completed regularly through commissions and boards. “Today there is a shower of jobs in UP, both in government and private sectors. The youth selected through fair recruitment are now serving the state with honesty and energy,” he added.
The Chief Minister also contrasted today’s Uttar Pradesh with the situation before 2017, when the state was labelled a “Bimaru” (sick) state. “Earlier, youths faced an identity crisis outside the state and UP was seen as a barrier to the nation’s development. But in the last eight years, we have transformed UP into the country’s number two economy and the growth engine of India,” Yogi said.
He credited this turnaround to collective efforts of 25 crore people, public representatives, government officers, and the double-engine government. “Today, UP is counted among the fastest growing states with the highest development rate in the country. Where the state was once in the bottom five, it now ranks among the top three in most schemes and is number one in many,” he asserted.
CM Yogi said that his government has given the youth of UP a clean platform. Selected instructors did not need any recommendation. Whoever prepared was selected, and those who did not prepare will have a chance in the future. Now there is a flood of jobs. Through law and order, a secure environment has been created.
“The commitment for a riot-free, mafia-free, goonda-free UP has invited massive investment. This has especially benefited youth connected to vocational education, skill development, and entrepreneurship. In eight years, more than 60 lakh people got jobs. Among them, 14 lakh youth were trained through the UP-skill development mission,” the CM said.
The Chief Minister said that the new appointees are a testament to the fair recruitment process of the UP government. We expect them to guide students in their ITIs with sincerity and honesty. He reminded them that while wasting time may bring momentary satisfaction, time never forgives, and only honest effort leads to real results.
The Chief Minister said that recently in Lucknow he had the opportunity to participate in a vocational education and skill development program, where ITI graduates were selected through the UP Skill Mission. Companies offered them salaries of Rs 1 lakh, Rs 75,000, and Rs 50,000, and no candidate was selected below Rs 35,000. |
