CM Yogi announces one lakh new recruitments in UP Police

Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath announces one lakh new recruitments in UP Police, highlighting fair and transparent recruitment processes.

"The fairness with which the police recruitment process has been completed today was not possible nine years ago. - CM Yogi Adityanath"

Lucknow, April 28

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made a key announcement on Tuesday, regarding the upgradation and modernisation of the state police force, besides undertaking a large-scale recruitment drive to fill vacancies and shoring up its various wings.

The Chief Minister said that one lakh new recruitments will be done in the Uttar Pradesh Police this year. He announced this at a function held for the distribution of appointment letters to 936 Head Operators/Head Operators (Mechanical) selected in the Uttar Pradesh Police Telecommunication Department at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan.

According to officials, this initiative will add strength to the state's law enforcement, besides providing employment opportunities for youth. The ambitious drive, though, is yet to take shape as no notification to this effect has been issued yet.

Notably, in the last three days, examinations have been conducted to recruit 41,000 personnel in UP Home Guards. Recruitment processes for Civil Police, Home Guards and others have also gained pace.

Addressing the gathering, CM Yogi said the double-engine government has created an environment where recruitment has been conducted fairly and transparently, and it is now the responsibility of the youth to serve the police and nation with clean intent, honesty and transparency.

CM Yogi further said, "The fairness with which the police recruitment process has been completed today was not possible nine years ago. Earlier, the process could not be completed smoothly. There used to be transactions and discrimination in recruitment, but now no recommendation or money is required. Recruitment is conducted purely on merit, capability and reservation rules."

"Uttar Pradesh, once considered a BIMARU state, is now contributing to India's development through collective efforts," he added.

Referring to the recent passing-out parade of 60,000 police constables in the state, he extended his best wishes to them and informed that more than 2.20 lakh personnel have been recruited in Uttar Pradesh Police in the past nine years, a feat that puts them ahead of their peers.

CM Yogi also said that UP is the first state to include more than 500 skilled athletes in the police force and therefore, the state police win more medals in national and international sports events compared to other states, showcasing its strength.

Extending congratulations to 936 newly selected candidates, he wished them well, hoping that their role and contribution to the communication unit will add value to the force.

He advised them to stay physically fit, as physical fitness ensures mental fitness, enabling honest service to society and the nation.

Great news for law and order, but I hope the recruitment focuses on mental fitness too, not just physical. We need police who can handle complex situations with sensitivity, especially in a state as diverse as UP. And please, let's ensure the modernisation includes better training for cyber crimes—that's the future of policing.

As someone who travels to UP for work often, this is reassuring. The police presence has definitely improved in recent years. 1 lakh new personnel will make a real difference in smaller towns and rural areas where response times were slow. Kudos to the state government for keeping its promise on jobs.

The 500+ athletes inclusion is a smart move. It brings discipline and a competitive spirit into the force. But let's not forget that proper infrastructure—like modern police stations, vehicles, and communication equipment—must match this manpower increase. Without that, even 1 lakh recruits won't be effective. Hope the planning is in place.

Impressive numbers, but the real test will be in the implementation. 'No recommendation or money' sounds great, but we've heard similar promises before. I'll believe it when I see a truly merit-based list without any controversies. Also, 41,000 in Home Guards in three days—that's fast! Let's hope the quality isn't compromised.

From BIMARU to a state leading in police recruitment and development—UP's transformation is real. My cousin just got selected in the constable batch, and he said the whole process was online and fair. No bribery, no agents. That's a huge change from what our uncles faced. CM Yogi is
