The Yogi Adityanth government of Uttar Pradesh, India, has launched the ‘Polytechnic Chalo Abhiyan’ campaign aimed at encouraging youth to enroll in government, aided, and private polytechnic institutions. The campaign aims to connect technologically skilled youth with employment opportunities. Over the years, there has been a decline in the interest of youth in polytechnic education, resulting in a significant number of vacant seats in colleges. The campaign aims to enroll lakhs of youth every year, and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has already spoken about launching campaigns to connect youth with technical education through various platforms. The Department of Technical Education has urged all polytechnic institutions in the state to participate in the campaign to increase the number of admissions in polytechnic institutes. The state government has also increased the number of polytechnic seats in recent years. In 2022, the number of seats in government polytechnic institutions increased to 41,071, and the number of seats in aided polytechnic institutions increased to 9927. In private polytechnic institutions, the number of seats increased from 1,19,765 in 2018 to 1,87,390 in 2022. The campaign is being conducted in various educational institutions with great enthusiasm for the extensive promotion of the entrance examination in all districts. District magistrates, Divisional Commissioners, District School Inspectors, Private Secretaries, Chief Secretaries, and Secondary Education Officials have been urged to make efforts to set up special camps for promotion and dissemination of the campaign.
