Two crore youths to be connected with employment in 3-4 years: CM Yogi

Yogi Adityanath, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, stated on Sunday that the state government is undertaking a large campaign called Mission Rozgar through which more than two crore youngsters in the state would obtain jobs and employment in various industries over the next three to four years.

Addressing the closing ceremony of the two-day ‘Lucknow Kaushal Mahotsav’, organised in collaboration with the National Skill Development Mission and the Government of Uttar Pradesh, CM Yogi said, “The Government has also started CM Apprenticeship Training with which seven and a half lakh youths of the state will be connected.” “Under the Apprenticeship scheme, the government and the industry will each give half of the honorarium to the youths studying in universities and colleges. They will be connected with experiential work and new training” the CM added.

“The presence of 112 companies in this festival proves that we have potential. The move to connect thousands of youth with jobs and employment is related to the campaign to link Uttar Pradesh’s scale with skill”, he added.

CM Yogi stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s National Skill Development Plan has given crores of Indian youngsters a new identity, platform, and flight.

“Within the last 6 years, the state government has carried out skill development of 16 lakh youths through PM Skill Development Mission, Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission and Shram and Seva Yojana,” he said.

CM Yogi further added saying, “Only a few days ago, our Government has entered into an agreement with Tata Technology to connect the youth of Uttar Pradesh with skill development. Through this, 35,000 youths will be given on-job and apprenticeship training. We have told every industry coming to the state to associate one or the other institution with them and contribute to the skill development of the youth of the place where the industry is set up. Now our youths will not have to migrate as they will get employment in their villages and districts. With this, according to the vision of Prime Minister Modi, Uttar Pradesh will be able to discharge the role of growth engine of the country’s economy.”

CM Yogi further said that former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had given a vision to India.
“He had given the idea of the Golden Quadrilateral to the country. Better connectivity was given to the villages through the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Sadak Yojana. Farming at that time had come to mean a business of loss. However, during the novel coronavirus pandemic, agriculture was the only thriving business in the world and became a source of strength for the world. It not only saved the world from starvation, but also helped in achieving economic self-reliance. This was possible because there was connectivity in every village and farmers could easily take their produce to the market,” he said.

He stated that the Indian government is now advancing the Farmer Producer Organization with new technology and seeds, whereas previously there was a competition to produce more food, and now the government is pushing non-toxic farming for healthy competition in agriculture.

CM Yogi stated that previous President Dr Abdul Kalam gave the country Vision 2020, and that the country is going forward with that goal, with great results observable today.

“The result of Vision 2020 is that when the country was celebrating its Independence Day in the year 2022, India got presidency of the G20 countries with the most resources, business, GDP and most patents in the world. This is a display of India’s strength and power,” the CM added.

He claimed that when a 17-year-old boy displayed a computer for the first time in 1965 and talked Artificial and Organic Intelligence, many questioned whether such a thing was really feasible. Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence advancements are taking place in institutions all around the world.

“When the society moves with the changing world and our youth thinks ten steps ahead of it, development is seen touching a new height,” CM Yogi said.

CM Yogi said that the government is going to start One Family One ID card., through which mapping of every family of the state will be done.

“With this, we will know with one click that which scheme and employment of the government has not been given to which family and it will be made available to them”, CM Yogi further said.
