U.P. Rozgar Mission: Empowering Global Job Aspirants

The Yogi Adityanath government is all set to launch the U.P. Rozgar Mission to help job seekers improve their skills, especially for employment opportunities abroad. Officials say the state cabinet is expected to approve the plan in its next meeting. This initiative will bring together around two dozen government departments to provide counseling and skill training for those registered with the employment exchange. The goal is to prepare them for both domestic and international job markets, according to a senior official from the labour and employment department. According to the proposal, five high-level monitoring and executive committees at various levels will supervise the Mission. The apex committee or the governing council will be headed by the chief minister while the chief secretary will head another committee. District magistrates will head committees in their respective districts. The additional chief secretary, labour, and the director, training and employment, will head departmental committees at their level. The government has already allocated ₹200 crore to kickstart the Mission. A key focus will be assessing job opportunities abroad and setting up centres to offer foreign language training and career guidance. If job seekers lack specific skills, training programs will help bridge those gaps. To tackle language barriers, the plan includes setting up four to five foreign language training centres across the state. These centres will teach key languages to help candidates adapt better when working overseas. This initiative is part of the government’s broader effort to create more employment opportunities and equip young people with the skills needed to compete in the global job market.
