Yogi Adityanath to distribute appointment letters to 1,146 candidates and ₹215 crore aid to farmers

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will distribute appointment letters to 1,146 newly appointed Junior Assistants of the Revenue Department during a programme in Lucknow on Wednesday. Along with this, he will provide financial assistance totalling ₹215 crore to 4,300 beneficiary families under the Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Kalyan Yojana. According to a report by India Today, the entire event will be held at the Jupiter Hall of the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan in Lucknow.

Apart from the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak and Minister of State for Revenue Surendra Diler will also be present at the event. Under the implementation of the scheme, the amount of ₹215 crore allocated for 4,300 farmer families will be transferred directly into their bank accounts. On the other hand, the appointment of 1,146 Junior Assistants has been made by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC). The Chief Minister has described this recruitment process as fair and transparent.

In a message before the event, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that identifying young talent and supporting farmer families in times of difficulty is the resolve of the 'double-engine' government. He added, "Honouring the talent of the youth and assisting farmers' families during crises is the determination of the double-engine government. As an extension of this determination, today in Lucknow, appointment letters will be given to 1,146 new Junior Assistants selected for the Revenue Department through a fair and transparent process by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission, along with assistance of 215 crore to 4,300 beneficiaries under the Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Kalyan Yojana."

The Chief Minister also highlighted the change in the state's work culture since 2017. He stated that since the BJP government came to power under his leadership in 2017, merit is now given importance in government recruitments instead of recommendations. He said, "Today's event is evidence of the changed work culture, in which youth are getting opportunities based on their merit and farmer families in distress are receiving dignified assistance."

Comparing it with the past situation, Yogi Adityanath said that before 2017, the situation was completely opposite. At that time, the dreams of the youth were traded and farmer families in crisis used to knock on door after door for help. The Chief Minister further stated that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the double-engine government has changed this work culture. Now, merit is honoured instead of recommendations in government jobs, and accident-hit farmer families receive full cooperation from the government during crises.

According to information provided by the Chief Minister's Office (CMO), this programme reflects merit-based recruitment and support for families facing hardships.
