Yogi cabinet big decisions: In the UP cabinet meeting held on Thursday July 3, 2025 , the cabinet approved many important decisions, which also includes giving one lakh jobs to the youth every year.
Lucknow : The state government approved the proposal to form ‘Uttar Pradesh Employment Mission’ in the cabinet meeting on Thursday July 3, 2025 . The objective of this mission is to provide employment to the youth of the state not only in the country through the state government, but also to provide them job opportunities abroad. After the formation of the mission, every year one lakh youth will be provided employment in the country and 30 thousand abroad. After the cabinet meeting, Labor Minister Anil Rajbhar said that till now the Employment Department was providing opportunities to the unemployed youth of the state only through employment fairs and employers. Now with the formation of Uttar Pradesh Employment Mission, we will be able to provide direct jobs to our youth at both the national and international levels.
Anil Rajbhar said that till now the state had to depend on Recruiting Agent (RA) licensed agencies for employment abroad. With the formation of the mission, the government will be able to obtain the license of RA itself, so that the unemployed can be sent directly abroad for employment. The demand for Uttar Pradesh’s manpower, especially para medical, nursing staff, drivers, skilled workers, is increasing rapidly at the global level. This mission will be a medium to give direction and opportunity to that potential of the state.
Five major units will run the mission
Uttar Pradesh Rozgar Mission is being formed as a high level institution, which will be registered under the Society Registration Act, 1860. Five major units will be formed for its operation. Which will have Governing Council, State Steering Committee, State Executive Committee, State Program Management Unit (SPMU) and District Executive Committee.
New link expressway to connect Agra-Lucknow Expressway and Eastern Expressway
The cabinet has approved a new link expressway to connect Eastern Expressway to Agra-Lucknow Expressway. This six-lane expressway, about 50 km (49.96 km) long, can be made eight lanes later. An estimated cost of Rs. 4776 crore is decided to be spent on its construction. This decision of the Council of Ministers is an important step towards developing a grid of expressways in the state.
Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi said that the new link expressway will start from Bhalia village (Chainage 294 + 230) of Agra Lucknow Expressway, which will go up to Pahansa village (Chainage 6 + 350) of Purvanchal Expressway. As soon as Agra Lucknow Expressway and Purvanchal Expressway are connected through the new link expressway, Lucknow- Prayagraj National Highway and Lucknow-Kanpur Highway will also be connected. This will make the movement of Agra, Lucknow, Kanpur, Prayagraj, Varanasi and Ghazipur smooth. Cities like Lucknow and Kanpur will get relief from problems like jam and no entry.
Relief to the trader from the heavy burden of appeal
The cabinet approved the Uttar Pradesh Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Ordinance. With this, many amendments made by the Center in GST were also implemented in UP. Under this, the trader was earlier required to deposit 25 percent of the amount to appeal. It has been reduced to 10 percent.
In this regard, State Tax Commissioner Dr. Nitin Bansal said that amendments are proposed in the GST Act from time to time by the GST Council to simplify the GST system and provide convenience to the taxpayers. In the sequence of these amendments passed by the Central Government, amendments are also made by the State Government in the UP Goods and Services Tax Act.
