Lucknow, 30 July (HS): To make Divyangjan economically

empowered and self-reliant, the Yogi government is organizing 'Divyangjan

Rojgar Abhiyan 3.0' across the state from August 3 to 10, 2026. The Minister of

State (Independent Charge) for Vocational Education, Skill Development, and

Entrepreneurship, Kapil Dev Agarwal, stated that under the leadership of Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath, connecting Divyangjan with a dignified livelihood is

the government's priority. He said that the objective of this special

initiative by the Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission is to provide

employment and self-employment opportunities to skilled Divyangjan, including

other eligible and interested Divyang youth, according to their qualifications

and skills.

During the campaign, special employment activities will be

organized in all government ITIs across the state. Divyang candidates will be

provided with information about various self-employment schemes in addition to

employment. The District Industries and Export Promotion Center will gather

information on vacancies by coordinating with industrial units and commercial

establishments, while the MSME department will assist with self-employment

schemes and loans and financial assistance through lead banks.

District Divyangjan Empowerment Officer and District

Employment Assistance Officer will connect registered candidates on the Rojgar

Sangam portal with vacancies. A key feature of the campaign is that physical

verification of Divyangjan who benefited in the previous two phases will also

be conducted to assess their current status.

The Yogi government's intention is that no Divyangjan should

be deprived of employment. Extensive publicity is being carried out for this. A

district-level committee has been formed in each district, chaired by the Chief

Development Officer, to monitor and coordinate the campaign.

By August 10, details of beneficiaries from all districts

will be sent to the government, and the District Magistrates and their teams

from the top five districts that provide the most employment and

self-employment will be honored with a certificate of appreciation at the

government level. To prepare for this, Mission Director Pulkit Khare held an

online meeting with all CDOs and concerned officials on July 30 and gave

necessary instructions.
