The government’s sympathies lie with the poor, destitute, deprived, Dalits and extremely backward classes and not with mafia and criminals as seen during previous regimes, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Monday.
Distributing appointment letters to 240 candidates selected for the posts of junior assistant and computer operator in the Minority and Technical Education departments at a ceremony held at Lok Bhavan auditorium in Lucknow, the chief minister described criminals as “barriers to security, good governance and development of society”, and said that cracking down on them as well as building a corruption-free, safe and fair society where the underprivileged had access to government’s schemes were the priorities of his government.
The chief minister also conveyed his best wishes to the 240 candidates who have been selected through Manav Sampada Portal under Mission Rozgar and emphasised his commitment to providing employment opportunities to the youths of Uttar Pradesh through a transparent and impartial process of Mission Rozgar.
“In the past six years, Uttar Pradesh has achieved new heights in line with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Candidates hailing from 60 different districts have been selected, ensuring that opportunities are accessible to individuals across the entire state. The government is maintaining absolute transparency in the entire recruitment process. No minister or secretary knows where a person will be posted after selection,” Yogi said.
He said that computer assistants had also played a big role in the transformation of UP.
“Perceptions of people have changed about Uttar Pradesh. Files are no longer kept pending. Today the state has achieved the goals of security and ease of living and ease of doing business. We have brought the Centre's projects on the ground. Files are cleared within three days these days,” he said.
He also encouraged employees to seek guidance from their superiors, avoiding backlog, as it can breed corruption. “Today, when corruption has been curbed, talented people like you have found a place. Otherwise it was a dream before 2017,” he quipped.
Chief Minister Yogi mentioned the marked reduction in bureaucratic red tape that delayed development projects in the past in UP. He also talked about the enhanced security, improved quality of life and a business-friendly environment in the state.
“The government has diligently implemented various projects initiated by the Central government, ensuring efficient execution,” Yogi asserted.
The chief minister said that earlier one used to visit 54 tables for the clearance of one file, but it is cleared on a single table today.
“At airport, you must have seen trolleys to move the luggage. Similarly, focus on ease of doing business is necessary and technology has made this work easy. The government is providing a monthly pension of Rs 1,000 to one crore elderly people, with a single click of the mouse without any human intervention,” he pointed out.
He further highlighted the importance of maintaining a positive and respectful demeanour. “This will carry a message that there has been a change in the state,” he said.
Akanksha Rani from Moradabad said that getting selected for the Minority department and receiving an appointment letter from Chief Minister Yogi was the biggest achievement of her life.
While extending gratitude to the chief minister, Vivek Kumar Tiwari from Prayagraj said that he was feeling very proud about the selection being done through a completely transparent and fair process.
Deepali Srivastava, appointed as a computer operator in the Technical Education department, termed it a proud moment and “a symbol of women and youth empowerment”.
Ex-Serviceman Dharmendra Singh from Bareilly said, “I express my heartfelt gratitude to Chief Minister Yogi for my selection as junior assistant in Technical Education. I assure you to discharge my duty and work honestly.”
