Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday, September 19, 2026 launched one lakh new jobs under ‘Mission Rojgar’. He handed over appointment letters to 818 newly selected candidates. Addressing the Samajwadi Party leaders who raise questions about government, CM Yogi said, “You keep counting; we will appoint more than one lakh youths in six months. Today, we are giving appointment letters for three departments. On Sunday too, we will give appointment letters to around one thousand youths. This process will continue uninterrupted. We will appoint 36,000 youths in UP Police and 41,000-42,000 in Home Guards. Their medical and physical processes are underway. The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) will release the results in the next six months, providing opportunities to 25,000-30,000 new youths. UPSSSC also recruits 20,000-25,000 youths. Their results will come in three to four months. After UPPSC examinations too, 15,000-16,000 youths will get appointments in different departments.”

At a programme at the Lok Bhawan auditorium, CM Yogi distributed appointment letters to 818 youths selected for various departments. A short film on Mission Rojgar was also screened. The CM congratulated the officials of UPPSC and UPSSSC and stated, “When commissions and boards do not become victims of the politics of government and the examination process is completed with integrity, the results also reflect the same.”

Chief Minister stated, “So far, 9.5 lakh youths have been given appointments. We will give appointment letters to one lakh youths within six months. Let those who created a ruckus before 2017 keep counting; we will keep giving appointment letters.”

Mr. Adityanath said, “In 2017, the youth also took a major decision to change the government. Our government expanded the Mission Rojgar program in line with PM Modi’s vision. The previous government could not respect the strength, power and talent of the youth; we considered UP’s strength as an economic opportunity. They had locked the opportunities within UP; we attempted to unlock that potential through talented youth. The result is now visible.”

The Chief Minister observed, “When talented youth become the strength of UP, state will establish itself as number-one economy. In every field, it will establish its place as the new UP of New India. UP is the heartland of country, the land with highest fertility, the state with most abundant water resources and a state moving forward with traditional enterprises. Once the state with the highest per capita income, it went through a phase of political transition that created an identity crisis among the youth. During that period, no one was safe. The youth did not get a platform according to their interests.”

Mr. Adityanath stated, “After the government was formed, zero tolerance was implemented in every field. Now no person in UP faces an identity crisis. People from other states are also overwhelmed when they see UP’s achievements. SP government considered challenges to be problems.
