The government of Yogi Adityanath will provide jobs to over 70 lakh youth in their present tenure till 2022. The same was announced by the chief minister himself in Lucknow. Yogi Adityanath was speaking to reporters after inaugurating the first Rozgar Summit of the state.

Yogi Adityanath further added that a lot of companies are looking at Uttar Pradesh with a lot of hope and his government feels that they can provide ample opportunities for investment. The same will benefit the job-seekers of Uttar Pradesh and the government aims to employ over 70 lakh of the 1 crore unemployed individuals in next 5 years. He said that the government is implementing the policy of One-District – One Product and this will help in creating huge employment opportunities in every district of the state so that the youth does not need to migrate to bigger cities to seek employment.

Speaking about the traditional industries of the state, Yogi Adityanath said that most of the districts of Uttar Pradesh have a traditional industry and the same needs to be promoted and encouraged. He added that the previous governments failed to identify the potential of saree industry of Varanasi, Brass industry of Moradabad, lock industry of Aligarh and carpet industry o Bhadohi. According to him, if these industries are given proper attention, support and encouragement, these industries can employ a huge number of people and significantly increase the revenue of the state. He also emphasised on linking one industry with one district and promoting it on the same lines.

Praising the spirit of the youth, Yogi said that the youth of UP has always stood in the adverse situations, however, no concrete developments have taken place on the lines of providing employment to them. The new industrial policy of Uttar Pradesh, according to Yogi Adityanath, gives a lot of emphasis to the youth employment.

Terming agriculture as one of the most promising sectors, he added that agriculture employs most people in UP and with technological advancements, there are a lot more opportunities in this sector. He also said that the agricultural production can be increased by small investments and implementing the technology.

Praising the initiatives taken by his government in last few years, Yogi Adityanath said that the government will continue to work for the betterment of people and it sees youth as a great part of the development.
