Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said that around 6 lakh youths have been recruited for government jobs in Uttar Pradesh so far and those selected didn’t require any recommendation.
Handing over appointment letters to 7,182 Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery (ANM_ health workers selected through UP Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) at an event organised at Lok Bhawan, Yogi said, “We did not tolerated rigging, disorder, anarchy and corruption in any selection process in the last 6 years.”
He said, “Whether it was UP Public Service Commission, UPSSSC, Higher Education Selection Commission or Secondary Selection Commission, recruitment of police or Basic Education Council, this process has been completed in a transparent manner so far.”
While congratulating the newly selected ANMs, the CM urged them to discharge their duties honestly.
“Instead of protesting, you trusted the government and after the process of selection, waited for the decision of the Supreme Court to come in your favour,” he said.
He said that the SSSC has carried forward the process of selection in a completely transparent manner.
“People tried to obstruct the selection process, but we have attacked their unethical actions,” he said.
Yogi said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said after assuming power in 2014 that the entire country is one family and we cannot discriminate against anyone. We have implemented it strictly in UP since 2017. We are providing more than 6 lakh government jobs within 6 years and there is no room for any kind of discrimination.”
He said, “A programme to distribute appointment letters was scheduled, but we had to cancel it as the SC’s decision was postponed. Since we didn’t want anything to get in the way of your appointment, we worked hard to remove all obstacles. Once you receive your appointment letter, you can devote all of your strength and commitment to your service.”
The CM said that all the field workers in the state including ANMs, Anganwadi workers, and ASHA workers are doing commendable jobs.
Pointing out that the National Health Survey data from the previous six years showed improvements, he said, “Institutional delivery has increased significantly. Success has been achieved in controlling anaemia, maternal mortality rate, infant mortality rate. In many instances, UP is outperforming as compared to the national average. These things demonstrate that the department’s efforts are yielding fruitful outcomes,” he said.
Yogi urged the ANM employees to work tirelessly and honestly. “You have the chance to see people in your respective districts and villages and get respect by doing better work in this field. Getting appointment letters to such a large number of ANMs has become a powerful tool for promoting both Mission Shakti and Mission Rozgar,” he said.
He praised the state’s upgraded medical facilities and mentioned two noteworthy incidents, one from Saharanpur and the other from eastern UP. “Because of the coordination between all the departments and the programs started under the direction of the Health Department, encephalitis has been controlled, whereas earlier thousands of children per year used to die from it. In the coming years, UP will declare encephalitis to be extinct,” he said.
The CM said, “The second is the example of Covid period, where UP presented a model to the nation and the rest of the world. Hospitals had a doctor shortage prior to 2017. We worked on One District One Medical College with the central government.”
He said, “Today there is a system of tele-consultation at more than 600 places. Health ATMs have been established to provide the facility of 50 to 60 types of tests in all the districts.”
