Taking to his ‘X’ handle, CM Yogi said that the appointment letters were distributed by the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) to the newly selected teachers and principals of non-government-aided secondary schools in the state. "Under the fair and transparent recruitment process, today in Lucknow, the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission distributed appointment letters to 3,567 selected candidates for Principals/Headmasters/Lecturers (PGT)/Assistant Teachers (TGT) for non-government-aided secondary schools. The responsibility of a teacher is not only to complete the syllabus, but also to protect the students from all kinds of negativity and ensure their all-round development, which is a grave duty of all of you. Heartiest congratulations and best wishes for a bright future to all the newly selected candidates and their families," said CM Yogi. Speaking at the event, he added that the state government is partnering with major industrial houses to develop new skill development programmes in the state. "Today, we are working together with all the major industrial houses to also advance new programs for skill development..." added CM Yogi. Warning against corruption, he stated that anyone demanding a transaction from a principal, headmaster, lecturer, or teacher will be sent to jail. "... if a demand for any transaction is made from any principal, headmaster, lecturer, or teacher, then they will have to rot inside jail..." declared CM Yogi. Addressing the gathering at the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath juxtaposed the role of an administrative officer with that of a teacher. He remarked that while an administrative officer may effectively discharge administrative responsibilities, they may not necessarily make a good teacher. Similarly, even a police officer who instils a strong sense of security must undergo training to become a teacher, according to ANI. He stated that Prashant Kumar was appointed Chairman to tackle the “cheating mafia” and make sure that no "Saifai Syndicate" could strip the meritorious students of what they deserve. He explained that Kumar was chosen for this responsibility given his remarkable track record in the UP police, to bring reforms to these commissions and state boards. CM Yogi said that he distributed appointment letters to 5,297 youth in the past week alone. "An administrative officer may discharge administrative responsibilities effectively, yet not necessarily make a good teacher. Similarly, a police officer can instil a strong sense of security in people through their work, but even they must undergo training to become teachers. Prashant Kumar was appointed Chairman specifically to break the back of the 'cheating mafia'—to ensure that no 'Saifai Syndicate' would ever again dare to rob talented students like you of your due. He was entrusted with this responsibility because of his excellent track record in the UP Police; the aim is to reform the direction of these commissions and boards, and this campaign is part of that reform process... Those who constantly stifle the aspirations of the youth never want things to improve. It gives me great pleasure to share that today we are handing out appointment letters to 3,567 individuals, and in the past week alone, I have distributed appointment letters to 5,297 youths..." said CM Yogi.
