Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday (September 7, 2025) said that in the last eight years, 8.5 lakh youths had been provided government jobs, with recruitment processes becoming transparent and merit-based, unlike in previous regimes where “so much money was taken that they could not even look into the eyes of candidates”.

“In the last eight years, 8.5 lakh youths have been provided government jobs, with recruitment processes completed regularly through commissions and boards. Today there is a shower of jobs in Uttar Pradesh, both in government and private sectors. The youth selected through fair recruitment are now serving the State with honesty and energy,” said Mr. Adityanath at an event in Lok Bhawan, Lucknow, handing over appointment letters to newly selected instructors appointed through the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC).
‘Identity crisis’
The Chief Minister said that before 2017, when the State was labelled a “Bimaru” (sick) State, youths faced an identity crisis outside the State and Uttar Pradesh was seen as a barrier to the nation’s development.
