'1.61 Cr Youth Given Jobs in Private Sector, 5 Lakh in Govt Sector Over 5 Years': Adityanath

"UP is becoming the second largest economy of the country due to PM Modi's mantra of 'reform, perform, and transform'," Adityanath said.

"UP is today at second place in Ease of Doing Business. UP has gained a remarkable jump of seven places in the Leeds 2021 report. Not only this, the state has also succeeded in increasing its exports to 1.56 lakh crore annually by implementing schemes like One District One Product while promoting traditional industry," he added.

Adityanath also claimed that 1.61 crore youth had got jobs in the private sector in the last five years, 60 lakh youth have been "connected with the traditional enterprise" through self-reliance schemes of the central government, and 5 lakh youth have been given government jobs.

"This is the reason that the unemployment rate of the state has come down from 18 percent to 2.9 percent in the last five years."
