The Uttar Pradesh government on Wednesday issued a formal directive mandating the strict enforcement of reservation in all state government recruitments.

All Additional Chief Secretaries and Principal Secretaries have been instructed to ensure compliance. The order, issued by Principal Secretary (Appointments and Personnel) M. Devaraj, also emphasises strict implementation of reservation for women, persons with disabilities, and ex-servicemen.

The government has made it clear that any failure to comply with the reservation provisions will not be tolerated.

Earlier, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday called for investment and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the state, stating that 2025 will be remembered for innovation in technology and data.

In an open letter to UP citizens, CM Yogi said that preparations are underway to establish 'AI City' in Lucknow and Noida. He added that 10 lakh citizens are receiving AI training under the 'AI Pragya' initiative.

In the letter shared on X, the Chief Minister said, "This is the time to enter the English year 2026.

The reign of good governance in the state has empowered 'Brand UP' across the world. Uttar Pradesh has now become a state of trust for investors."

"Preparations are underway to establish 'AI City' in Lucknow and Noida. A semiconductor unit is being constructed in Jewar at a cost of Rs 3,700 crore. The success of the data centre policy, made with the focus on 'Swadeshi Centre' and secure data, is beginning to be seen. Commercial use of five hyperscale data centre parks has begun. The target is to invest Rs 30,000 crore in the data centre sector," CM Yogi added.

Good to see the focus on compliance. But I hope merit is not completely sidelined. The goal should be to provide a level playing field, not to compromise on the quality of governance. A balanced approach is needed.

This is big for UP's youth! Reservation ensures social justice. Now, combining this with the AI training (AI Pragya) mentioned later in the article can create a skilled and diverse workforce for the future. Jai Hind!

Inclusion of women and persons with disabilities is commendable. However, the real test will be in transparent execution. Will there be a public portal to track recruitment data and reservation compliance? That would build trust.

The article talks about AI cities and strict reservation together. This is the right vision - embracing cutting-edge technology while ensuring our social fabric remains strong. UP is on a interesting path.

Hope this order is followed in spirit, not just for show. Many qualified candidates from reserved categories face unofficial biases. Strict monitoring is needed. Good move overall.
