The Yogi Adityanath government is set to intensify its efforts for providing employment opportunities by accelerating the organisation of Rozgar Melas across Uttar Pradesh.
Following the successful organisation of three such job fairs in August, the government plans to organise employment fairs in four districts over the next 10 days, aiming to offer around 30,000 job opportunities. These employment fairs are scheduled to take place in Mainpuri on August 27, Aligarh on August 28, Mirzapur on September 1 and Moradabad on September 2.
In each district, 1,000 appointment letters will be distributed to successful candidates. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is expected to attend these events as the chief guest.
Earlier in August, the Yogi government organised employment fairs in Ambedkarnagar on August 17, Ayodhya on August 18 and Muzaffarnagar on August 22, during which more than 17,000 appointment letters were distributed.
Minister of State for Vocational Education, Skill Development, and Entrepreneurship (Independent Charge) Kapil Dev Agarwal emphasised the ongoing efforts to connect skilled youth with employment through the Rozgar Mela initiative. He noted that under the guidance of Chief Minister M Yogi, large-scale employment fairs are being organised in various districts to provide job opportunities to trained individuals.
The state government is actively working to ensure that those who receive training under the Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission are successfully linked with employment. As part of this initiative, upcoming Rozgar Melas are scheduled in Mainpuri Aligarh, Mirzapur and Moradabad, where approximately 30,000 job opportunities will be offered.
Additionally, 4,000 appointment letters, including 1,000 in each district, will be handed out to successful candidates. Around 50 reputed companies from across the country will participate in the employment fair in each district, where they will conduct interviews and offer jobs to the youth.
The Yogi government has successfully distributed over 17,000 appointment letters through a series of Rozgar Melas organised in August. In Ayodhya and Ambedkarnagar alone, more than 12,000 appointment letters were handed out, with an additional 5,000 distributed in Muzaffarnagar.
These employment fairs, conducted within just six days, saw participation from various companies offering jobs to the youth in sectors such as manufacturing, engineering, telecom, healthcare, construction and information technology.
The Yogi government is expanding employment opportunities for the youth, not only in government positions but also in private companies. The government is running various programmes aimed at enhancing the skills of the youth. The plan for 2024 includes employing a large number of young people in private companies through these Rozgar Melas.
Over the past seven and a half years, more than six and a half lakh youth have secured government jobs, and an additional 3.75 lakh have been connected to jobs through contracts. In the private sector and micro, small and medium enterprises, the government has facilitated employment for nearly two crore individuals.
The Yogi government is actively working to create employment opportunities for the youth of Uttar Pradesh, with a series of targeted programmes being organised to meet this objective. In line with these efforts, Chief Minister Yogi had said during the Rozgar Mela in Muzaffarnagar on August 22 that the state government plans to provide government jobs to two lakh youth over the next two years.
The chief minister urged the youth to grab upcoming government job opportunities across the state. As a testament to the government’s commitment, the police recruitment examination is currently being conducted for over 60,000 posts, with plans underway to create additional jobs in various other departments.
