UP CM Yogi Adityanath directs service selection boards to provide 10,000 government jobs in 100 days

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday, highlighting his commitment to providing employment to youth, said that the government has directed all the service selection boards to provide government jobs to more than 10,000 youths of the state in the next 100 days.

"The state government is committed to connecting the youth with government jobs and providing them employment. In this sequence, the government has given instructions to all the service selection boards to provide government jobs to more than 10,000 youths of the state in the next 100 days," Yogi Adityanath tweeted in Hindi.

Soon after assuming the office for the second consecutive term as the Chief Minister of the state, Yogi said last week that the Uttar Pradesh government will provide employment opportunities to youth in the public sector. The decision to provide government jobs in the state was taken during the first cabinet meeting held earlier. The Chief Minister chaired the first cabinet meeting on Saturday in Lok Bhawan, Lucknow.

Meanwhile, the newly sworn-in Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh is likely to present its first Budget of over Rs 6.5 lakh crore focusing on fulfilling the BJP`s poll promises "for the empowerment of the poor, farmers, youth and women", according to the Chief Minister’s Office.
