Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath's Statement

While addressing the Assistant Teachers (LT Grade) and Lecturers appointed in government secondary schools, the Chief Minister said, "You must have seen how none of you had to us any external help in the entire selection process of the UP Public Service Commission."

"To achieve PM's Mission Rojgar's goal, our state government distributed 8 lakh appointment letters today through a fair and transparent selection process," he added.

The Chief Minister also informed that the government had made nearly 40,000 appointments in the secondary education sector, including 32,000 in government-aided schools. In recent months, more than 8,000 secondary teachers were appointed.

Highlighting changes since 2017, CM Yogi said that secondary and basic education had suffered due to mass cheating and lack of government interest. However, with the launch of Operation Kayakalp, the quality and infrastructure of schools had significantly improved.

"There was a time when secondary education was struggling to survive. Before 2017, secondary and basic education had become infamous due to cheating, and there was hardly any hope left for improvement," he said.

He also recalled how proxy candidates from other states used to appear in UP exams, but rigorous monitoring and reforms had put an end to such practices.

"Today, Uttar Pradesh is a new Uttar Pradesh. Today, there is no identity crisis for the youth of UP, and the state is developing in every field, creating a new image," he said.

He also encouraged the newly appointed teachers to maintain the same level of integrity in their service.

"Since you have been selected through a fair and transparent process, the government also expects that you will make similar contributions to raise the level of secondary education in the state," he added.

CM Yogi Adityanath concluded the address by reminding teachers that every student has a goal, and achieving that goal is a moment of great joy, and it is the responsibility of educators to guide them with dedication and honesty.
