The Uttar Pradesh government will organise 'Divyangjan Rozgar Abhiyan 3.0' from August 3 to 10 across all districts, aiming to connect thousands of persons with disabilities to jobs and self-employment. Minister Kapil Dev Aggarwal said ensuring dignified livelihoods for Divyangjan is a priority under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Special employment camps will be held at all Government ITIs. The MSME Department and banks will help with self-employment loans. District committees led by the Chief Development Officer will oversee coordination, and physical verification of past beneficiaries will assess the initiative's long-term impact.
The five best-performing districts will receive state-level recognition. District-wise data must be submitted to the state government by August 10.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The campaign builds on two prior editions under the same name, tested by physical verification of past beneficiaries to gauge lasting impact rather than just placement numbers. District committees led by the Chief Development Officer are a standard administrative structure used for many UP schemes, giving the drive local accountability. For a state with over 30 lakh recognised persons with disabilities according to Census 2011, the real measure will be how many of the roughly 3.5 lakh registered on the Rozgar Sangam portal actually get placed or receive loan sanction by the August 10 deadline. The incentive of state-level recognition for top-performing districts adds a competitive edge that has worked for UP in other flagship campaigns.
