Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that the state government will provide government jobs to two lakh youth in the next two years.
At a district-level employment and loan fair held at BIT College on Thursday, Chief Minister Yogi distributed appointment letters to over 5,000 youth and allocated Rs 30 crore in loans to eligible individuals and MSME entrepreneurs. Additionally, more than 1,000 students were given tablets under the Swami Vivekananda Yuva Sashaktikaran Yojana.
He highlighted that unlike in the past when youth from western UP were excluded from job opportunities, young men and women from the region are now securing positions.
Chief Minister Yogi also revealed that recruitment for over 60,000 police positions will begin on Friday. He urged enthusiastic participation in these opportunities.
He warned that those who undermine the future of the youth will face imprisonment and have their assets seized and distributed to the poor.
The chief minister announced that Rozgar Melas will be organised every three months across the state.
The chief minister began his address by paying tribute to former prime minister and Bharat Ratna Chaudhary Charan Singh. He announced that Muzaffarnagar is set to receive projects worth hundreds of crores of rupees. He emphasised that the Meerapur assembly constituency will particularly benefit from this.
Reflecting on Muzaffarnagar’s transformation from a place marred by riots a decade ago to a now peaceful region that hosts the Kanwar yatra with great enthusiasm, Chief Minister Yogi noted that the area’s new identity is being shaped by development, security, youth employment and government jobs.
The chief minister also assured that the Mawana sugar mill will be expanded, with a concrete action plan already underway. He highlighted the unique privilege of connecting Shuktirtha with the Ganges and noted that the local jaggery is gaining international recognition. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership India has emerged as a global power, he asserted.
Chief Minister Yogi took a jibe at the opposition, questioning the fate of their financial bonds and criticising Samajwadi Party chief for allegedly supporting rapists. He condemned the SP’s record on safety of women and warned that anyone threatening the security of women would face severe consequences.
The chief minister announced that local MLAs had proposed 38 new routes for Muzaffarnagar and the foundation stone for a mini stadium has been laid. He highlighted that the government has appointed Parul Chaudhary, a gold medalist at the Commonwealth Games, as a deputy superintendent of police.
Additionally, the state’s first sports university is being established in Meerut to nurture young sports talent, aiming to bring Olympic medals to the region.
The chief minister noted that 500 state players have already received government jobs and assured that any youth who wins medals for the country will be guaranteed a government job in UP.
The chief minister also remarked on UP’s transformation, noting that while migration was once a problem in Kairana and industries fled, the state is now attracting large-scale investments. New airports are being constructed in Saharanpur and Jewar, and the highway network is expanding, he added.
He condemned attempts to incite division and violence, asserting that such efforts should be resisted.
He emphasised the government’s unwavering commitment to the progress and security of the youth, the poor, women and farmers, making the audience feel valued and important.
