UP Government Hires 700,000: Unemployment Drops to 2.4%!

Over the past 7.5 years, the UP government has hired around 700,000 people in different departments. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that the unemployment rate in Uttar Pradesh has dropped significantly from 19% in the past (2012-2017) to just 2.4% now. He criticized the Samajwadi Party for delaying hiring when they were in charge, claiming it was due to their bad intentions.

Adityanath assured that the hiring process was transparent and followed reservation rules strictly, making it fair for all. He encouraged opposition members to understand and apply the government’s youth-friendly policies in their areas.

He also highlighted the issues before 2017, mentioning that many posts were filled unfairly, often benefiting people from the same caste. Additionally, he pointed out that a poorly qualified person had once been appointed as the chairman of the commission responsible for hiring, which harmed the youth’s future.

To improve things, Adityanath said the government has made reforms to make the hiring process honest and fair. They have given full authority to the public service commission, subordinate service selection commission, and education commission to conduct recruitment. Members of the cabinet actively participate in handing out job offer letters, ensuring there’s no favoritism.

In the education sector alone, the government has completed over 160,000 recruitments. A new board called the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission has been set up to manage hiring in all education areas. The government also passed a law to prevent cheating in exams.

Recently, they hired 69,000 teachers, ensuring that many qualified candidates from backward castes and Scheduled Castes got jobs. For example, over 32,200 people from backward castes and over 14,000 from Scheduled Castes were employed.

In total, 156,000 police personnel were hired, with more than 22,700 being women. The hiring process for an additional 60,244 police positions is ongoing.
