Uttar Pradesh Plans 100,000 Government Jobs Within Six Months

At a Lucknow ceremony, the government distributed appointment letters to 818 candidates selected for various posts through the UPPSC and UPSSSC. Adityanath also criticized the previous government’s appointment of Anil Kumar Yadav as UPPSC chairman; the Allahabad High Court later quashed the appointment as “arbitrary” and “illegal.”
Adityanath said industrial development in Gorakhpur had produced about 50,000 jobs, with roughly 500 factories established in the Gorakhpur Industrial Development Authority area, helping reduce migration from the region.
The Gorakhpur announcements were made alongside the inauguration and foundation-laying of 119 development projects valued at approximately Rs 40 crore, including a newly constructed Kalyan Mandapam.
The state currently provides an annual pension of Rs 12,000 to about 1.1 crore elderly people, destitute women and people with disabilities; Adityanath said both the pension amount and the number of beneficiaries would be increased.
At a separate Gorakhpur event, Adityanath said Uttar Pradesh now had 85 medical colleges across its 75 districts and claimed encephalitis had been eradicated; he also inaugurated a charitable blood centre run by the Indian Medical Association.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath pledged to create 100,000 government jobs within six months, with recruitment beginning September 19, according to Economic Times. The push includes 77,000 positions in police and Home Guards departments, bringing his administration's total job creations to roughly 1.05 million since taking office.
At a Lucknow ceremony, Adityanath distributed appointment letters to 818 candidates selected through state recruitment boards, Free Press Journal reported. He criticized the previous Samajwadi Party government for corruption in hiring and vowed his administration would emphasize merit and follow the rule of law.
Adityanath announced that industrial development in Gorakhpur has created about 50,000 jobs, with roughly 500 factories now operating in the Gorakhpur Industrial Development Authority zone, Zoom News stated. This growth is helping stop young people from leaving the region to find work elsewhere.
The state government inaugurated and laid foundations for 119 development projects in Gorakhpur worth approximately 40 crore rupees. These projects include a newly constructed Kalyan Mandapam, a traditional event hall used for weddings and celebrations.
Adityanath singled out the previous government's appointment of Anil Kumar Yadav as chairman of the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission. The Allahabad High Court later ruled the appointment was arbitrary and illegal, India Today reported.
The current recruitment drive distributed appointment letters to 912 police recruits selected for Sub-Inspector and Assistant Sub-Inspector positions, according to Pro Kerala. These hires represent the first wave of the promised 100,000 jobs.
The state currently pays annual pensions of 12,000 rupees to about 11 million elderly people, destitute women, and people with disabilities. Adityanath said both the pension amount and the number of beneficiaries will increase, though specific details were not provided.
Adityanath also highlighted expanded health care access. Uttar Pradesh now operates 85 medical colleges across its 75 districts, he claimed. At a separate event, he inaugurated a charitable blood centre run by the Indian Medical Association and said encephalitis had been eradicated from the state.
