Lucknow: On Sunday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the state-level appointment letter distribution at Lok Bhawan, while parallel ceremonies were held in all districts, where MPs and MLAs handed over letters to successful candidates—transforming the dreams of thousands of youths into reality after The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) declared the final results for instructor recruitment across various vocational trades, paving the way for 1,510 appointments.
The Chief Minister reaffirmed that the Uttar Pradesh government is working tirelessly with the mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas”, giving top priority to linking the country’s largest youth population with employment and self-employment opportunities.
Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Vocational Education, Kapil Dev Agarwal, informed that 92 trades are currently being run across 286 government Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) in Uttar Pradesh, offering a total of 1,84,280 seats. He said that 7,768 instructor posts have been approved in these institutes, including 6,577 regular and 1,191 outsourced positions. In 2022, UPSSSC began the recruitment process for 2,406 vacant posts, out of which 1,510 instructors have already been appointed, while results for another 341 posts will be announced soon. With this, a total of 1,851 instructors will be available, helping ensure quality training in government ITIs across the state.
Over the past eight years, the state government has established and operationalized more than 60 new government ITIs. Currently, about 1.84 lakh youth are receiving skill training in 82 trades across 324 government ITIs. To make training accessible to all, the fee has been fixed at just Rs 40 per month. Additionally, nearly 3,000 private ITIs in the state offer training on 6 lakh seats, where students are also benefiting from fee reimbursement and scholarships.
To strengthen the ITI ecosystem, the government has filled over 150 vacant posts of principals and 1,510 instructor posts, along with more than 900 positions through outsourcing. Furthermore, ITIs are being modernized to impart training in emerging technologies such as semiconductors, electric vehicles, laser cutting, CNC, 3D printing, and digital communication.
In the first phase, 150 ITIs were upgraded in collaboration with Tata Technologies Ltd. and 18 world-class companies. As part of this project, nine new trades and 23 short-term courses have been introduced, with an investment of nearly Rs 5,000 crore. These institutes are training more than 15,000 youth every year. Encouraged by this success, approval has now been granted to upgrade 62 more ITIs at a cost of Rs 3,350 crore.
Furthermore, 1736 programs have also been organized in the state through Rojgar Melas, in which more than 4.13 lakh youth have got job opportunities in 2537 companies.
