The Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has connected over 13.64 lakh youth with private sector jobs through 10,830 Rozgar Melas held between April 2017 and April 2025. Under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership, Uttar Pradesh has connected youth with hundreds of companies offering on-the-spot recruitment.

With foresight and a multi-dimensional approach, the Labour and Employment Department has designed schemes that go beyond traditional boundaries of local jobs. These fairs not only open doors for young job seekers but also supply trained and skilled manpower to industries.

Expanding Horizons: Jobs Abroad

Through the Rozgar Mission, Uttar Pradesh is linking its youth to jobs in India and abroad by bridging skill gaps, holding job drives, and offering career support. With training aligned to global demand, the state aims to boost its GDP through both domestic and overseas placements. As part of the initiative, Japan, Germany, Croatia, and the UAE are seeking UP’s skilled workers, nurses, caregivers, drivers, and construction staff, with salaries up to Rs 1.5 lakh a month. Similar demand is expected from other Gulf nations.

Legal, Safe, and Lucrative Overseas Jobs

To prevent exploitation and illegal migration, the government is directly coordinating safe and legal overseas job placements. These efforts are expected to contribute ₹1,000 crore in remittances, boosting the state’s economy and helping achieve its $1 trillion GDP target.

To ensure safe and legal overseas jobs, the UP government is directly facilitating placements, preventing youth from illegal migration routes. Workers have already been sent to Israel, with 1,383 more set for deployment. The initiative is projected to generate Rs 1,000 crore in remittances, giving a major push to Uttar Pradesh’s $1 trillion economy goal.

Career Guidance for Youth Empowerment

The Yogi government is also focusing on career counseling and skill alignment. The Labour Department has held 24,493 guidance sessions, reaching over 26.5 lakh youth. These programs are particularly beneficial for rural job seekers who often lack access to career advice and vocational awareness.

These initiatives have been particularly transformative for rural youth, who earlier lagged due to a lack of awareness.

Seva Mitra: Connecting Skilled Workers with Citizens

At the local level, the government has launched the ‘Seva Mitra Yojana’, an online platform that directly connects skilled workers with consumers. So far, 52,349 workers have registered on the portal, offering services such as plumbing, electrical work, painting, AC repair, beautician services, and more.

This not only ensures steady income for workers but also provides citizens with reliable and quality services at their doorstep.  The initiative ensures reliable doorstep services for citizens and consistent income for workers.

Transforming UP into a Global Manpower Hub

With these initiatives, Uttar Pradesh is transitioning from a job-seeking state to a global provider of skilled manpower. These employment strategies aim to make the state more economically resilient and socially empowered in the long run.
