Lucknow, May 3
In the last nine years, more than 9 lakh youths have been provided government jobs in Uttar Pradesh. This is a record for conducting the highest number of appointments in any state in a smooth and transparent manner. These remarks were made by UP CM Yogi Adityanath, here today. The Chief Minister added, “The Subordinate Services Selection Commission alone will complete the recruitment process for more than 32,000 posts this year. The Education Selection Commission will complete the recruitment process for thousands of teachers. The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission has to carry out around 15,000 recruitments. In this way, the process of more than 1.5 lakh government recruitments is to be completed in the current financial year (2026-27). To ensure that there is no tampering in the process, a strict law has also been enacted, under which those involved in malpractice can face life imprisonment and confiscation of their entire property.”
Adityanath said this on Sunday at Lok Bhavan during the appointment letter distribution programme organised by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission for 357 newly selected Junior Analysts (Drugs) for the Food Safety and Drug Administration Department and 252 newly selected Dental Hygienists for the Medical and Health Department. Before his address, the Chief Minister distributed appointment letters to the newly selected candidates.
The Chief Minister said, “Every parent wishes for their child to receive a good education and move towards a secure and better future. Parents make every possible effort for this, but when the expected results are not achieved, not only are the dreams of the youth shattered, but the hopes of their parents and family members are also destroyed. The breaking of a young person’s dreams is not just an injustice to one individual, but a betrayal of the future of coming generations.” He said, “Discrimination, dishonesty and corruption in recruitment processes played a major role in Uttar Pradesh being labelled a ‘BIMARU state’. Irregularities in recruitment processes were so widespread that courts had to intervene repeatedly.”
The Chief Minister said, “Before 2017, almost every recruitment process faced court stays and severe observations from the judiciary. The situation was such that even ineligible individuals became chairpersons of commissions. People with fake degrees were leading recruitment processes.” Due to monetary transactions, recruitments were influenced and deserving candidates were deprived of opportunities. He added, “As a result, more than 2,20,000 recruitments have been successfully carried out in the police department alone. Over the last nine years, more than 9 lakh youths have been recruited in a fair and transparent manner.”
Adityanath said, “The Subordinate Services Selection Commission will organise appointment letter distribution programmes on May 4 and 6 as well, and the process will continue.” He said that despite the Covid pandemic, the government has succeeded in tripling the per capita income of the state over the last nine years without discrimination. He added, “Uttar Pradesh today has some of the best infrastructure in the country, including expressways and highways. Departments that were once barely known are now performing exceptionally well. Nearly every district now has a medical college, and two AIIMS institutions are operational in the state. Before 2017, everything was left to fate, and the results reflected that. The entire system was suffering from the BIMARU mindset. The Food Safety and Drug Administration Department lacked equipment and laboratories for testing drug quality and food adulteration. Now the department has A-grade laboratories at the divisional level for testing purposes.”
Trained manpower is available to deliver test results within a fixed timeline. Before 2017, there were only five laboratories; today there are 18 laboratories equipped with modern technology. The CM said, “Earlier only 12,000 samples were tested annually in five laboratories. Now this number has increased to 55,000. With the completion of the recruitment process for 357 Junior Analysts (Drugs), their total number has increased from 44 to 401. At present, the number of Junior Analysts (Food) is only 58. Requisitions for 417 posts have been sent and are under consideration with the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission.”
