Lucknow,

03 July (HS): The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet accepted a proposal on Wednesday to

establish the UP Rozgar Mission to assist the state's youth in finding work in

India or overseas. Anil Rajbhar, the state's labour and employment minister,

told reporters following the meeting that the mission will allow the state to

avoid third-party recruiting companies.

With

the development of this mission, we established a clear goal. We intend to send 25,000 to 30,000 jobless youths

overseas and engage approximately one lakh youth in India's private sector each

year, according to Rajbhar. Previously, Rajbhar claimed that the state

government had to rely on external entities having RA (recruitment licenses) to

transfer personnel overseas.

Now

that the mission is in place, the state will receive its own RA, allowing us to

directly organize abroad placements, particularly in high-demand areas such as

nursing, paramedical, skilled labour, driving, domestic work, and other

manpower-intensive positions, he added.

Rajbhar

stated that the mission was made necessary by a growing worldwide need for

Indian labour.

On

Thursday, the cabinet also approved changes to labor legislation that would

expand women's involvement in manufacturing employment. Until recently, women

were forbidden from working in 29 dangerous sectors. The administration relaxed

limitations on four such sectors in December of last year.

Currently,

just 5% of industries in the state employ women, and excluding Noida, the

percentage lowers to about 1%. With

technological improvements and our purpose of empowering women, Rajbhar stated

that it was vital to alter these obsolete conventions.

The

minister stated that the adjustments will help the state achieve its greater

goal of becoming a $1 trillion economy. He described the day's choices as a

significant milestone towards economic development and social empowerment in

Uttar Pradesh.
