The Akhilesh Yadav Government is all set to open job market in the next fiscal as it plans to appoint over 1.5 lakh people in education, health, police and food and civil supplies department. These appointments would be over and above 33,000 jobs promised this year.
“The blueprint has been prepared to appoint people at different levels in different departments. Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has given his consent to the project and final shape would be given to it within a fortnight,” a senior official told The Pioneer here on Wednesday.
The State Government plans to appoint teachers both in the primary and secondary sections. Doctors and para-medics for State-run hospitals and PHCs and campaigners (volunteers) on the adhoc basis who will work in tandem with the Social Welfare and Food and Civil Supplies Department to ensure implementation of nutritional schemes launched by the State and Central Governments.
Besides, the Government plans to appoint over 40,000 cops at different levels starting from constables to sub-inspector level. Addition to it over 5,000 traffic constables would also be appointed.
The UP Government has also written to the State Public Service Commission to initiate process to appoint doctors in the Government hospitals as they need over 4,000 doctors immediately. Some hospitals are facing acute shortage of neurologists and cardiologists and the same has been conveyed to the service commission.
Minister of State of Health Shankhlal Majhi said that para-medics, Non-Medical Assistants, X-Ray technicians and workers to run DoT clinics in the villages would be appointed soon.
Government had earlier appointed over 2,300 doctors but majority of them refused to join because of mandatory rural posting. To counter this problem the Government changed the rule and reserved PG seats for doctors in state-run medical colleges who have completed three year rural posting.
“This proposal is lucrative enough for the MBBS doctors to join State Health Services,” he said. The initial break-up shows around 1 lakh appointments in education sector. Over 70 per cent of this would be in the primary education and rest in the secondary and junior sections.
