LUCKNOW, Aug. 19 -- Uttar Pradesh has created 13.64 lakh private sector jobs through 10,830 Rozgar Melas held between April 1, 2017 and April 30, 2025, connecting youth with hundreds of companies offering on-the-spot recruitment, a government spokesperson stated in a press release on Monday. According to the spokesperson, the labour and employment department has introduced schemes that extend beyond traditional local job opportunities. These fairs not only provide avenues for young job seekers but also supply trained and skilled manpower to industries, it added.Through the Rozgar Mission, Uttar Pradesh is connecting its youth to jobs in India and abroad by bridging skill gaps, organising job drives, and providing career support. With training aligned to global demand, the state aims to boost its GDP through both domestic and overseas placements. Countries like Japan, Germany, Croatia, and the UAE are seeking UP's skilled workers-such as nurses, caregivers, drivers, and construction staff-with salaries of up to Rs.1.5 lakh per month. Similar demand is also expected from other Gulf nations, the spokesperson added. 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. 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....
