At Lok Bhawan in Lucknow, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, has introduced the ambitious scheme known as UP Kaushal Satrang Yojana to increase the employment opportunities for unemployed youth residing in the state. Through this scheme, skill training, as well as employment opportunities, will be made available to the youth of UP by the state government.
The UP Kaushal Satrang Scheme revolves primarily around the development of skills. This Yojana covers 20 schemes of 12 departments.
