Uttar Pradesh Recruitment and Farmer Welfare: 1,146 Junior Assistants, ₹215 Crore Assistance

The news

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday announced that the state will hold appointment-letter distribution programmes on average every fifth day until 26 January 2027. The announcement was made at a ceremony where 1,146 newly selected junior assistants for the Revenue Department received their appointment letters from the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission. The Chief Minister also transferred ₹215 crore online to 4,300 farmer families under the Chief Minister Farmer Accident Welfare Scheme.

Adityanath said that when the government's intent is clear, its policy is transparent and the recruitment commissions and boards work honestly, young people get opportunities matching their talent within their own state. He alleged that the Samajwadi Party and the Congress had created an identity crisis for Uttar Pradesh's youth through anarchy, corruption, nepotism and loot. The Chief Minister asked the newly appointed junior assistants to complete their training and then serve with sensitivity towards every citizen and integrity in life.

Which body conducts Uttar Pradesh subordinate services recruitment?

The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission is the state body that conducts recruitment for Group C posts in the state's subordinate services. It was constituted under the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission Act, 2014. The commission selects candidates for posts such as junior assistants in departments including the Revenue Department. The Chief Minister Farmer Accident Welfare Scheme is a state government scheme that provides financial assistance to farmer families in cases of accidental death or disability.

What did the Chief Minister say about pre-2017 recruitment?

Adityanath said that before 2017, appointment without recommendation or payment was impossible in Uttar Pradesh. He claimed that all recruitment commissions and boards were held hostage, and a 'Saifai syndicate' operated in the state. Referring to the film 'Munna Bhai MBBS', he said that before 2017, 'Munna Bhai' types were sitting in the government — one person would take the examination and another would take the appointment letter. The Chief Minister alleged that the Samajwadi Party and the Congress created an identity crisis for youth through anarchy, corruption, nepotism and loot, and that Uttar Pradesh's 'BIMARU' status was a result of this.

How will the appointment schedule work?

The state government announced that a major appointment-letter distribution programme will be held on average every fifth day until 26 January 2027. The Chief Minister said that the campaign to give government jobs to youth will continue uninterrupted. The 1,146 junior assistants selected by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission for the Revenue Department received their appointment letters at the ceremony. Separately, ₹215 crore was transferred online to 4,300 farmer families under the Chief Minister Farmer Accident Welfare Scheme, working out to an average of ₹5 lakh per family.
