In a bid to tackle unemployment and empower young people with better career opportunities, the Uttar Pradesh government has rolled out a series of youth-focused employment initiatives. From the Rojgaar Sangam Portal, which connects job seekers with employers, to schemes like Mukhya Mantri Yuva Swarozgar Yojana (MYSY) and other skill development programmes, the government is aiming to bridge the gap between education and industry.

These measures are designed not only to generate jobs but also to encourage entrepreneurship. Here is the list of some opportunities that students and job seekers in UP must know about:

Rojgaar Sangam Portal

The Sewayojan UP Portal, also known as Rojgar Sangam, is an online platform for connecting job seekers with employers. It provides access to government, private, and outsourced jobs and Rojgar Melas, matching opportunities with candidates based on their education, skills, and qualifications.

To register, applicants need a Class 10th mark sheet, address proof such as an Aadhaar card, a mobile number, and a passport-sized photograph. Once registered, users can visit the official portal at sewayojan.up.nic.in, click on the “Job” icon on the homepage, and browse available categories. Filters such as location, job type, salary, and other preferences help refine the search, making the process more efficient and tailored to individual needs

Mukhyamantri Yuva Swarozgar Yojana

The Scheme, launched on 15 September 2018, aims to promote entrepreneurship by providing financial support to unemployed youth. Under the scheme, eligible applicants aged 18–40 who are permanent residents of the state and have at least a high school qualification can avail loans up to Rs 25 lakh at a concessional 6 per cent interest rate to start their own businesses.

The funding covers expenses such as machinery, raw materials, and working capital, helping youth become self-reliant while generating employment for others.

Applicants must not be defaulters of nationalised banks, and annual income limits apply—Rs 2 lakh for OBC, Minority, and General categories, and Rs 2.5 lakh for SC/ST categories.

Scheme for Training of SC-ST

The Scheme for Training of SC/ST Youth in Uttar Pradesh provides skill development and entrepreneurial training for SC/ST candidates, including women. Participants receive one month of theoretical instruction and three months of practical training at designated centres, followed by toolkits in their chosen trade to support self-employment and job readiness.

For selection under the scheme, the minimum age requirement is 18 years, and the maximum is 45 years. While literacy is not mandatory for training in non-technical trades, candidates opting for technical trades must have completed at least Class 8.

YUVA SATHI Portal

The Yuva Sathi Portal is a government initiative by Uttar Pradesh designed to engage and empower the state’s youth by bringing the benefits and information of various government schemes and services onto a single platform. Acting as an information hub, it provides details on skill development programs, employment opportunities, entrepreneurship and startup support, scholarships, vocational training, self-employment schemes, competitive exam preparation, career counselling, as well as resources related to sports and health.
