Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that 9.5 lakh jobs have been created in Uttar Pradesh, saying the government is planning ten steps ahead.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath told reporters in Lucknow that the state has successfully filled 9.5 lakh job positions under its employment programmes. The figure, he said, reflects the cumulative impact of recent recruitment drives across various sectors.
He highlighted that the government’s strategy is not limited to immediate placements; rather, it is designed with a long‑term vision. "We think ten steps ahead," the CM remarked, underscoring a proactive approach to skill development and job creation.
While detailed breakdowns of the jobs were not released, Yogi affirmed that the vacancies span both skilled and unskilled categories, aiming to absorb a broad segment of the workforce.
The announcement comes as Uttar Pradesh continues to prioritize employment generation ahead of upcoming state and national elections, positioning the job count as a key performance indicator for the administration.
Analysts note that the claim, if verified, would place the state among the top performers in India’s employment drive, though they await official data for confirmation.
