Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh is continuously making efforts to make the youth self-reliant. The government’s thinking is that the youth should not just run after jobs, but should become employment providers by starting their own business. The effect of the schemes being run in this direction is now clearly visible on the ground.
Umang Shukla, gave the form of business to dreams
Umang Shukla, living in Civil Lines area of Lakhimpur Kheri, has emerged as an example of this change. Taking advantage of the government scheme, he established his own oil mill and today has established himself as a successful entrepreneur.
Umang says that in November 2025, he got a loan of Rs 25 lakh under ‘Mukhyamantri Yuva Self-Employment Scheme’ through the District Industry and Entrepreneurship Development Centre. With this financial assistance he started his business.
Business increased due to mustard oil production
Umang started the work of mustard oil production, which is progressing rapidly today. 10 to 15 quintals of mustard is crushed daily in his unit. The oil prepared by them is not only being sold in the local market but is also reaching the customers through online platforms. This has expanded the scope of their business and also strengthened their brand identity.
increasing income with employment
This venture of Umang has become a source of employment not only for him but also for other people. Presently 5 people are working in his oil mill. After deducting the cost from the sale of about 500 to 600 liters of oil every month, he is getting a net income of about Rs 70 thousand. This success shows that when given the right direction and support, youth can progress to a great level.
Youth Self-Employment Scheme: Door of Opportunities
‘Chief Minister Youth Self-Employment Scheme’ has become a big opportunity for the youth of the state. Under this scheme, loans are given to youth on easy terms, so that they can start their own business. Under this scheme, a maximum loan of Rs 25 lakh is given for the manufacturing sector and up to Rs 10 lakh for the service sector. This amount can be used for machinery, raw materials and other necessary expenses.
How to apply?
To avail the benefits of this scheme, interested youth have to contact the Industry and Entrepreneurship Development Center of their district. The application process can be completed by getting complete information from there. The government is trying to ensure that more and more youth join this scheme and become self-reliant.
Uttar Pradesh moving towards self-reliance
The story of Umang Shukla proves that with the right planning and hard work, any youth can turn his dreams into reality. Such initiatives in Uttar Pradesh are not only empowering the youth but also strengthening the economy of the state. More such stories are expected to emerge in the coming times, which will make the dream of a self-reliant India come true.
