To celebrate eight years of the Yogi Adityanath government, Uttar Pradesh Kaushal Vikas Mission will showcase its achievements through an exhibition stall at state-wide events on March 25-27.

Since 2017-18, the Yogi government, through the Kaushal Vikas Mission, has trained 14,13,716 youth across various sectors, equipping them with employable skills. Of these, 5,66,483 youths have secured direct employment.
