Big Jobs Push Under Yogi Govt: UP Plans 6.5 Lakh Jobs, New Hospitals

The Uttar Pradesh government outlines a two-year employment mission to connect 6.50 lakh youths with jobs at home and abroad, alongside expanding health facilities and ESIC coverage. The plan emphasises data-driven recruitment, language training, single window facilitation, and active engagement with corporate partners to sustain employment and investment.

Uttar Pradesh is planning a large push on jobs and health services, with a strong focus on data and targets. Over the next two years, the Yogi Adityanath government aims to link 6.50 lakh youths with employment in India and abroad. Parallel plans are underway to expand medical facilities through new dispensaries and hospitals across several districts.

The roadmap was discussed in detail during a meeting chaired by Labour and Employment Minister Anil Rajbhar. The session reviewed a two-year action plan prepared under the Uttar Pradesh Employment Mission. Officials examined job demand trends, both domestic and overseas, and considered how state departments and private agencies could coordinate recruitment, training and placement activities more efficiently.

Uttar Pradesh employment and investment plans for domestic and overseas jobs

Anil Rajbhar stated that the Labour and Employment Department will shortlist reputed companies through an Expression of Interest process. These firms will help survey vacancies for Uttar Pradesh candidates in India and other countries. Data from these surveys is expected to guide sector-wise training, screening and counselling so that candidates match actual labour market needs.

Vacancy consolidation for overseas jobs will be handled through recruitment agencies registered with the Ministry of External Affairs. The government plans to create a unified database of openings received from different countries. This information will be shared with aspirants through employment exchanges, online portals and counselling sessions, allowing better transparency about available roles, skills needed and likely salary ranges.

Uttar Pradesh employment and investment push through language and skills training

For overseas employment, the state will place special emphasis on language skills. Candidates will receive training in Japanese, German, English and other relevant foreign languages based on demand. The target is to provide language training to 50,000 candidates. Authorities expect that improved communication skills will raise selection rates and help workers adjust more easily in foreign workplaces.

The plan also involves inviting ambassadors from different countries to explore employment and investment opportunities linked to Uttar Pradesh. Departmental delegations will visit various nations, hold meetings with industry representatives and sign Memorandums of Understanding. These interactions are meant to align skill development programmes with specific hiring plans and to create long-term recruitment pipelines.

Uttar Pradesh employment and investment support through facilitation and placements

An integrated facilitation centre is proposed in Lucknow to assist both employers and jobseekers. The centre will work on a single window system, offering residential and logistical support to recruiters and candidates during large hiring drives. Placement events and campus recruitment programmes will be used to connect youths with domestic and overseas jobs, based on the vacancies captured through surveys.

Alongside employment measures, the government is expanding health services linked with the Employee State Insurance Corporation. A total of 12 new dispensaries and five hospitals have received approval. These facilities aim to improve healthcare access for insured workers and their families, especially in industrial and emerging growth centres within Uttar Pradesh.

The location-wise plan for new ESIC facilities in Uttar Pradesh is as follows:

Senior officials attended the review, including Principal Secretary Dr. M.K. Shanmuga Sundaram, Kunal Silku, Special Secretary Nilesh Kumar Singh, Labour Commissioner Markandey Shahi, Employment Director Neha Prakash and Additional Director P.K. Pundeer. Their presence indicated cross-department coordination on job creation, overseas placement, health infrastructure and industrial policy within the state.

Uttar Pradesh employment and investment confidence from corporate leaders

Before this meeting, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath held a high-level interaction with representatives of 25 Indian and foreign companies. The delegation, coordinated by WMG Group, included 45 top professionals. Chief Executive Officers, Chief Financial Officers, directors and senior management from sectors such as global capability centres, finance, automobile, banking, beverages and pharma took part.

The discussion focused on investment potential in Uttar Pradesh, the current industrial climate and future development plans. Entrepreneurs and investors at the meeting expressed strong confidence in the state’s environment. They cited stable governance, security conditions and an industry-friendly approach as key factors encouraging them to consider new projects and expand existing operations.

Collectively, the visiting companies presented investment proposals worth about Rs 6,500 crore for Uttar Pradesh. These proposals cover manufacturing, green energy, bio refinery, pharma, food processing and service sector projects. Officials expect these schemes to generate substantial employment opportunities and support faster economic growth by creating demand for skilled and semi-skilled labour across the state.

Investors conveyed that Uttar Pradesh’s law and order situation, modern infrastructure and proactive government response offer a strong base for long-term investment. When viewed together with the two-year employment mission and planned healthcare expansion, the state’s data-driven strategy aims to link large-scale capital investment with jobs and better social security for its workforce.
