LUCKNOW: Taking forward its Mission Rozgar programme, chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday handed over appointment letters to 51 people selected for the post of sub-divisional magistrates.
The selected candidates, who cleared the UP PCS exam in 2019, include 31 engineers, two doctors and one architect.
Encouraging the candidates to be true to their jobs, help people, work honestly and adopt the use of technology, the CM said that before his government came to power in 2017, UP was known for corruption, unemployment and favouritism in giving jobs.
“Before 2017, casteism and nepotism were prevalent everywhere due to which the recruitment process was even challenged in court and a CBI investigation ordered. This frustrated the youth of the state. After coming into power, our government ended corruption in the boards and commissions, expedited the recruitment process and conducted it with transparency,” he said.
The CM said that over the past more than four years, his government had given 4.5 lakh government jobs.
Speaking to the new recruits, the CM said that they too should be fair and just in the course of their work, to reflect on the process of their recruitment. He said that they should use technology to help make the lives of people easier. “No one should be deprived of justice in UP, and technology should be used in solving issues. During the janata darshan programme, I have seen that most problems of the public are related to tehsil and police station level. Most of you are tech-savvy and with the use of technology, you can solve the problems of the public and save their time,” he told them.
Speaking about employment generation, the CM said that due to the government’s crackdown on mafia and anti-social elements, UP had become a safe place where people were coming to invest. This had not only generated jobs in the industrial sector but also encouraged selfemployment.
In his address, Deputy CM Dinesh Sharma told the new recruits to be self-confident, reflective and to work above personal interests. “The government has conducted the recruitment process with a policy of cleanliness, transparency and honesty. This process must reflect in your own way of working,” he said.
Finance minister Suresh Khanna said that the recruits must focus on their work and results and prioritise the welfare of people. He also said that they should not be afflicted with the “disease” of wanting to appear in the media too often and instead, concentrate on their work.
