Special job fairs to be organised in all Govt Industrial

Training Institutes (ITIs)

Under Divyangjan Rojgar Abhiyaan 3.0, opportunity to get

involved in employment and self-employment

Lucknow, August 02 (HS): The Yogi government in Uttar

Pradesh is continuously taking effective steps to empower people with

disabilities, making them self-reliant and economically empowered. In this

regard, the Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission (UPSDM) launched the

statewide Divyangjan Rojgar Abhiyaan 3.0 on Sunday. This special

campaign will run until August 10, 2026, under which special employment fairs

will be organized in all districts of the state.

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, the state government is

committed to integrating persons with disabilities into the mainstream of

society. The Divyangjan Rojgar Abhiyaan 3.0 is part of that commitment. He

added that the Yogi government believes that persons with disabilities have

immense potential; what is needed is the right skills, opportunities, and a

respectable platform. This campaign will not only provide employment to

disabled youth, but also provide them with a new identity of self-respect and

self-reliance.

Major private sector companies have been involved in special

job fairs organized by UPSDM to help our youth with disabilities find better jobs

according to their qualifications. The government will provide all possible

support through loans and entrepreneurship schemes to those who wish to start

their own businesses. A key feature of the campaign is the physical

verification of the disabled beneficiaries in the first and second phases to

ensure they remain permanently employed. This is a symbol of transparency and

results-oriented governance.

Mission Director Pulkit Khare said that in this campaign,

employment and self-employment opportunities will be provided to disabled youth

trained by the Skill Development Mission, as well as other eligible and

interested disabled candidates. During the campaign, special employment fairs

will be organized in all the Government Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs)

of the state.

Various reputed companies will participate and provide

employment opportunities to disabled candidates as per their qualifications and

skills. At the same time, youth wishing to become self-employed will have the

opportunity to apply for loans under various government schemes. Along with

this, detailed information about entrepreneurship development and

self-employment related schemes will also be made available to them.

The mission strives to empower more disabled youth to become

self-reliant through employment and self-employment. This initiative of the

Uttar Pradesh Skill Development Mission will strengthen the state's goal of an

inclusive and developed Uttar Pradesh.
