Lucknow, March 2026 : In Uttar Pradesh, schemes launched under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to promote self-reliance and self-employment are helping young people turn their dreams into reality. The government’s goal is not only to provide jobs but also to make youth job creators.

Realizing this vision of Yogi government, Aniket Verma, a resident of Pahadapur village in Lakhimpur Kheri, has become a successful young entrepreneur with the help of a government scheme.

The Mukhyamantri Yuva Swarozgar Yojana played the most significant role in Aniket Verma’s entrepreneurial journey. Under this scheme, he received a ₹25 lakh loan in December 2025 through the District Industries and Entrepreneurship Development Centre. This financial assistance gave new wings to his dreams and helped him transform his small-scale work into an organized industry.

Aniket installed six automatic machines in his unit. Today, his unit produces washing powder every month according to orders. The products are packed in 500-gram, 1-kilogram, and 3-kilogram packs to meet different market demands. He sources raw materials from Kanpur, and his washing powder brand is gradually gaining recognition in the local market.

Not only has Aniket become self-reliant, but he has also provided employment to seven people. After accounting for production costs and other expenses, his net monthly income ranges between ₹50,000 and ₹60,000.

The Mukhyamantri Yuva Swarozgar Yojana aims to encourage youth in the state to take up entrepreneurship and create employment opportunities for others. Under this scheme, the state government provides financial assistance so that young people can become self-reliant and successfully run their businesses.
