Yogi Adityanath announces one lakh job appointments over next six months
Aug-25-2026

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said that the state government will issue appointment letters to one lakh young people over the next six months. Addressing an appointment letter distribution programme in Lucknow, Adityanath said, ‘The government has provided government jobs to more than 9.30 lakh youth in a transparent manner without discrimination over the last nine years. In Uttar Pradesh, one lakh jobs were once only an imagination, but we are going to hand over government job appointment letters to one lakh youth within the next six months. The process of declaring results is underway.’ The announcement comes as employment and recruitment remain important political issues in the state.

Appointment letters were handed over at the event to 3,446 technical assistants and 126 market secretaries. Agriculture Minister Surya Pratap Shahi and Minister of State for Agriculture Baldev Singh Aulakh were present. Adityanath contrasted the current recruitment process with the system that existed before 2017, alleging that government vacancies were then affected by corruption, delays and political interference. 

CM Yogi said ‘Young people kept wandering, results did not come and ultimately courts had to stay the cases. Their time and age were wasted (time spent for exams and then getting over aged for other exams)’. He added that the fault lay not with the youths but with 'corrupt' officials, boards and commissions and politicians involved in the recruitment system at that time. Adityanath also linked the government’s recruitment policy to its stated zero-tolerance approach towards crime and corruption. He said the administration would continue its action against organised networks involved in examination cheating and promised strict punishment for those running such operations.

CM further pointed to overseas employment opportunities for workers from the state. He said countries including Japan, Germany and Israel were showing interest in recruiting young people from Uttar Pradesh. He said around 5,000 workers from the state had already gone to Israel for employment and were earning about Rs 1.5 lakh a month, with food and accommodation provided.

The CM also used the occasion to compare the state’s current situation with conditions before 2017. Adityanath said Uttar Pradesh had previously faced problems involving migration, farmer distress, concerns over women's safety and the influence of criminal groups. Yogi Adityanath said the government’s focus on recruitment, law and order and employment opportunities was aimed at changing that perception and creating more opportunities for the state’s young population.
