Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is set to distribute appointment letters to 1,146 newly recruited junior assistants in the state's Revenue Department and provide financial assistance worth Rs 215 crore to 4,300 beneficiary families under the Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Kalyan Yojana on Wednesday.The programme will be held at Jupiter Hall of the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan in Lucknow.The 1,146 junior assistants have been appointed by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) through what the CM described as a fair and transparent recruitment process.Under the Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Kalyan Yojana, 4,300 beneficiary families will receive financial assistance, with a total of Rs 215 crore to be transferred directly to their bank accounts. Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak and Minister of State for Revenue Surendra Diler will also attend the programme.In a message, originally in Hindi, shared ahead of the event, Adityanath said the initiative reflected the "double-engine" government's commitment to recognising young talent and supporting farming families during times of distress. "Honouring young people’s talent and supporting the families of farmers in times of crisis is the resolve of the double-engine government.
As an extension of this resolve, today in Lucknow, the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission will distribute appointment letters to 1,146 newly selected junior assistants for the Revenue Department through a fair and transparent process, along with assistance of 215 crore to 4,300 beneficiaries under the Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Kalyan Yojana," he stated.He also highlighted what he described as a change in the state's work culture since 2017, when the BJP government led by him first came to power, saying public recruitments were now based on merit rather than recommendations, while families of farmers affected by accidents were receiving official assistance."Today's event is a testament to this changed work culture, in which young people are receiving opportunities based on merit and distressed farming families are receiving dignified support. Before 2017, the situation was exactly the opposite.
Back then, young people’s dreams were traded away, and farming families caught in crisis wandered from door to door seeking help," the UP CM said.He added, "Under the guidance of the respected Prime Minister, Shri [Narendra Modi] ji, the double-engine government has changed this work culture. Today, in government jobs, merit is honoured, not recommendations.
At the same time, farming families affected by accidents receive the government’s support in times of crisis.- Ends
