Summary
Lucknow directed officials to draft an integrated youth policy for people aged 16-35, targeting education, skill development, employment, health and leadership.
Yogi Adityanath said the plan should be based on an assessment of young people's needs and aspirations, and asked for an independent expert commission to monitor holistic youth development.
The chief minister also told departments to speed up the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Industrial and Employment Zone and examine extending the Chief Minister Abhyudaya Coaching Scheme to every university and college.
Sports infrastructure was folded into the push as well, with Adityanath saying wider sporting activity can help steer young people away from drug abuse.
