Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday distributed appointment letters to 1,146 newly selected Junior Assistants for the Revenue Department through the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission, following a fair and transparent selection process. Along with this, he transferred financial assistance of ₹215 crore online to the bank accounts of 4,300 farmer families under the Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Kalyan Yojana. On this occasion, the Chief Minister said, “The campaign to provide government jobs to the youth in the state would continue uninterrupted until January 26. On average, a major appointment letter distribution programme would be held every fifth day each month, and this process would continue without interruption until January 26.”
The Chief Minister stated, “When the government’s intentions are clear, its policies are well-defined, and the functioning of recruitment commissions and boards is honest, young people get opportunities commensurate with their talent in their own state. The anarchy, corruption, nepotism and system of loot under the Samajwadi Party and Congress had created an identity crisis for the youth of Uttar Pradesh.”
The CM appealed to the newly appointed Junior Assistants to pay special attention to two things after completing their training and taking charge of their respective desks: compassion towards every citizen and a sense of integrity in life. The government has provided them with an opportunity through a transparent system; therefore, it is also expected of them to discharge their responsibilities with honesty, sensitivity and dedication towards the common citizen.
The Chief Minister interacted directly with the young people who had received appointment letters and asked whether anyone had needed a recommendation during the selection process or whether anyone had spoken about monetary transactions. Had they received calls from any unknown or familiar person? Had they faced any difficulties during the verification process? He said, “Earlier, people did not get work commensurate with their talent, which forced the youth of Uttar Pradesh to migrate. They contributed the benefits of their hard work to the country and the world, but Uttar Pradesh remained deprived because jobs were not available here through honest means and discrimination prevailed in the selection process.”
He stated, “Before 2017, appointments were not possible without recommendations and monetary transactions. All recruitment commissions and boards had been held hostage. The Saifai Syndicate was operating in the state.”
Referring to the film ‘Munna Bhai MBBS’, the Chief Minister said, “Before 2017, people like Munna Bhai were also seated in positions of power in the government. One person appeared for the examination, while someone else walked away with the appointment letter. Issuing an appointment letter to someone else in place of the candidate who had appeared for the examination and was more talented was an injustice to the youth.”
He further added, “Young people lodged complaints with the government, but the same government was operating this system. They were then compelled to approach the courts, which granted stays. Those involved in wrongdoing took money and deposited it in foreign banks, increased their assets in countries across the world, while the youth of Uttar Pradesh were cheated from every direction. Both those who purchased jobs by paying money and those who prepared for examinations through hard work were cheated.”
The Chief Minister held the Samajwadi Party and Congress responsible for creating an identity crisis for the youth of Uttar Pradesh. He said, “The SP and Congress had played with the lives of young people through anarchy, corruption, dynastic politics, a system of loot, and by placing their own relatives and close associates in recruitment commissions and boards. This was the reason behind Uttar Pradesh being a Bimaru state. When 100 people are required for a task but the government provides only 10, how can the work be completed on time? In 2017, as many as 1.5 lakh posts were vacant in the Police Department alone. The then SP government had abolished 54 PAC companies. During the four terms of the SP government, 1,500 riots took place in the state, and curfews continued for months.”
The Chief Minister said, “Before 2017, riots would break out during festivals such as Holi, Deepawali, Vijayadashami, Janmashtami, Shivratri, Christmas, Eid, Gurpurab and Makar Sankranti. Everyone felt unsafe. Markets would shut down due to curfews, and traders’ goods would get spoiled. However, over the past 9.5 years, there has been no curfew and no riot; everything is peaceful in Uttar Pradesh.”
Referring to the pace of recruitment, the Chief Minister said that 10,836 appointments had already been made in the Revenue Department, and appointment letters were being distributed to 1,146 Junior Assistants on Wednesday. The earlier appointments included 39 Review Officers, 910 Naib Tehsildars, 73 Assistant Review Officers, 18 Computer Assistants, 556 Junior Assistants in Divisional and Collectorate offices, 7,897 Lekhpals, 73 Junior Assistants in Land Acquisition and 124 Land Acquisition Amins.
He further informed, “The recruitment process for 7,994 Lekhpals in the Revenue Department is also nearing completion. Just as the second hand of a clock moves rapidly, we have distributed appointment letters at the same pace. So far, 9.5 lakh young people have received government appointment letters. This figure had already been achieved by August 15, 2026. The target is to provide appointment letters to another 1 lakh young people by January 26.”
He added, “As part of this initiative, appointment letters were distributed to 3,500 candidates in the Agriculture Department on August 25, 818 candidates in the Health Department on September 19, 912 candidates in the Police Department on September 20, 3,568 candidates in the Education Department on September 22, 1,375 candidates in the Panchayati Raj Department on September 28, and 470 skilled sportspersons in the Police Department on October 8. Appointment letters were distributed to 28 Forensic Scientists on November 5 and 4,543 Sub-Inspectors on November 6. More than 2.30 lakh appointments have been completed in the Uttar Pradesh Police so far. The recruitment process for 32,000 police personnel has been completed, and verification is underway. Recruitment of more than 42,000 Home Guard personnel is also in its final stage. Efforts are being made to distribute their appointment letters next week as well.”
Taking a dig at the opposition, the Chief Minister said, “When the government is distributing appointment letters, it is time for opposition leaders to sleep. I have told opposition leaders to start counting. If they do not know how to count, they should keep Shivpal Yadav with them as a tutor. He has long-standing experience in counting and is an experienced leader; he has spent his entire life counting. Appointments are still pending in several departments, and the government’s intention is to distribute appointment letters in these departments as well before entering its third term.”
Referring to the functioning of the Revenue Department and the changes brought about in the rural economy, the Chief Minister stated, “When the government was formed in 2017, it inherited 34 lakh revenue cases from previous governments. So far, 37,81,363 cases have been disposed of through revenue courts. On average, 3.78 lakh cases are being disposed of every month. In June, 3,10,056 mutation cases were resolved through a special campaign. Rover technology is being used in place of the traditional chain method for land measurement. Approximately 70,000 land measurements were completed in June, and the government has purchased 445 rover machines.”
Describing the changes made to the Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Kalyan Yojana as significant for the protection of farmer families, CM Yogi said, “Earlier, the benefits of the scheme were available only to those farmers in whose names agricultural land was registered. Agricultural labourers, sharecroppers and their families were excluded from its ambit. Now, the families of both farmers and sharecroppers have been included in the scheme. So far, 1,40,196 farmer families have benefited from the scheme, and an amount of ₹5,833 crore 50 lakh has been distributed across various districts.”
Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, Minister of State for the Revenue Department Surendra Diler, MLA Dr. Neeraj Bora, Members of the Legislative Council Lal Ji Prasad Nirmal and Ramchandra Pradhan, Chairman of the Board of Revenue B.L. Meena, and Principal Secretary, Revenue, Aparna U were present on the occasion.
