Rozgar Mission to pave way for employment opportunities abroad
1 2 Lucknow: The state cabinet on Thursday gave nod to the formation of the Uttar Pradesh Rozgar Mission that would help people from state find jobs across India as well as abroad. Labour minister Anil Rajbhar said till now, the labour and employment department used to connect people with jobs through schemes like rozgar melas. The mission, however, would involve direct support of the govt to link persons with employers. "We have set a target of finding jobs for 25,000-30,000 people abroad and up to 1 lakh within the country in the next one year. The reason this is a game changer is because now the govt will have its own recruiting agent licence. Till now, we had to depend on recruiting agents for foreign job placements," he said. Rajbhar added that there was currently a huge demand for paramedical staff, nurses, drivers, technical persons, skilled and semi-skilled labour in countries like the Gulf, UAE, US, Canada, Israel etc. The activities of the mission will include survey of job demand, listing of top companies and collecting their requirements, identifying skill gaps and offering training, language training and pre-departure orientation, career counselling and campus placements, and post-placement support and follow-ups. The mission will be registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. It will operate through five major units, which will include the governing council, state steering committee, state executive committee, state programme management unit and district executive committee. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo In another major step aimed at increasing the participation of women in the work force, the cabinet has allowed relaxation of rules governing the employment of women in hazardous workplaces.

Cabinet okays UP Rozgar Mission to provide 1.25 lakh jobs in a year
The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet on Thursday approved the proposal for formation of the Uttar Pradesh Rozgar Mission which will aim to provide 1 lakh jobs in the country and 25,000–30,000 jobs abroad within a year to the youth from the state. The decision was taken in a meeting headed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The employment initiative was among the 30 proposals which were approved by the Cabinet, Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna said. Talking to mediapersons after the meeting, state Labour and Employment Anil Rajbhar said so far the department was mainly helping unemployed youth through 'rozgar melas' (job fairs) and companies. 'But with the launch of the Uttar Pradesh Rozgar Mission, the state government will now be able to directly help the youth get jobs in India as well as abroad. Earlier, the state depended on licensed recruiting agents (RAs) for foreign job placements. But with this mission, the government will now have its own RA licence, allowing us to send people abroad for jobs directly,' the minister said. There is a rising demand globally for UP's skilled workforce — especially in paramedical, nursing, driving, and technical fields, he claimed. 'This mission will help tap into that potential,' he added. The mission, which will be registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, and function as a high-level body, will have five major components — governing council, state steering committee, state executive committee, state programme management unit and district executive committee, it is learnt. The Cabinet also approved amendments to labour regulations to increase women's participation in factory work. Until recently, women were barred from working in 29 categories of hazardous industries. The government lifted restrictions from four such industries in December last year. 'At present, only 5 per cent of factories in the state employ women, and excluding Noida, the figure drops to about 1 per cent. With advancements in technology and our goal of women's empowerment, it was necessary to revise these outdated norms,' Rajbhar said. The minister said the changes will support the state's broader target of becoming a 1 trillion dollar economy. Key functions of the mission: – Job demand survey in India and abroad – Listing of top companies and gathering job requirements – Identifying skill gaps and offering training – Language training and pre-departure orientation – Career counselling and campus placements – Post-placement support and follow-up
