Lucknow, April 2026 : The Yogi government has a clear objective that youth should not remain job seekers but become job creators by establishing their own enterprises. With this vision, various schemes are providing financial assistance, training and guidance to young individuals. This vision is now becoming a reality at the grassroots level. Umang Shukla, a resident of Civil Lines in Lakhimpur Kheri, has turned this vision into reality.

Umang Shukla availed the benefits of a government scheme to establish his own oil mill. He shared that in November 2025, he received a loan of ₹25 lakh under the ‘Mukhyamantri Yuva Swarozgar Yojana’ through the District Industries and Entrepreneurship Development Centre. This financial support opened the path for realizing his dreams.

He started a mustard oil business and is now processing 10 to 15 quintals of mustard daily. The oil produced in his unit is sold in local markets as well as through online platforms.

His enterprise has not only become a source of income for him but has also created employment opportunities for others. Currently, 5 people are employed in his unit. He sells around 500 to 600 litres of mustard oil every month, earning a net monthly income of approximately ₹70,000 after expenses.
