Yogi orders integrated youth policy for Uttar Pradesh

The Story in Brief

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday directed officials to prepare an integrated youth policy for people aged 16 to 35, covering education, skills, employment, health, sports and leadership. The policy process will include students, sportspersons, researchers, entrepreneurs, professionals and other youth, with public suggestions also invited.

Adityanath proposed exploring an independent expert commission to monitor youth programmes. He called for training in artificial intelligence, robotics, cyber security, drones and semiconductors, along with youth incubation centres and a single digital platform for careers, scholarships and job matching. He also ordered faster work on the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Industrial and Employment Zone, wider coaching access, and sports facilities from gram panchayats to divisions.

The Indian Opinion

The easy narrative is that a long list of schemes equals a youth policy. It does not. Nor is it fair to dismiss the proposal as mere publicity when it seeks inputs from young people and sets out practical services. The real test is delivery: how many eligible youths receive training, jobs or scholarships through the proposed platform, and how many gram panchayats actually get playgrounds?
