Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced on Thursday that his administration will generate 100,000 new government jobs in Uttar Pradesh by 26 January. The promise comes as part of a broader employment drive aimed at addressing the state's high unemployment rates.
In his statement, Yogi highlighted that the state government has already facilitated the recruitment of 950,000 individuals over the past nine and a half years, underscoring the scale of past efforts. He said the upcoming quota will focus on entry‑level positions across various departments, including education, health and public works.
The announcement was made during a press conference in Lucknow, where officials outlined the recruitment timeline and the criteria for applicants. The government plans to release detailed guidelines within the next few days, inviting eligible candidates to apply through the official portal.
Analysts note that while the target is ambitious, the success will depend on budget allocations and the efficiency of the selection process. The move is expected to bolster the ruling party's standing ahead of upcoming local elections.
