Overview
- Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath instructed officials to draft an integrated youth policy to cover education, skilling, employment, health and leadership for people aged 16–35.
- The government asked teams to explore creating an independent State Youth Commission to monitor, evaluate and recommend improvements for youth programmes.
- Officials were told to prioritise training in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, cyber security, drones and semiconductors to prepare youth for future jobs.
- The CM directed expedited work on the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Industrial and Employment Zone, expansion of the Chief Minister Abhyudaya Coaching Scheme to colleges, and faster delivery of sports facilities from village playgrounds to divisional High Performance Centers.
- These are policy directives rather than funded or enacted measures, with drafting and public consultation now under way and no timelines, budgets or formal establishment of the commission yet announced.
