UP govt decided to give Rs 1,000 per month as unemployment allowance to the youth between 30 and 40 years of age

The Uttar Pradesh Government has decided to give Rs 1,000 per month as unemployment allowance to the youth between 30 and 40 years of age. It has been decided by the State Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.

AIR Lucknow correspondent reports that for the implementation of the much-publicised scheme, the Government has fixed Class 10 as the minimum qualification to be eligible for the allowance.

The Government has said about 10 lakh unemployed would be able to benefit from the scheme and over Rs 1,200 crore would be spent every year under the Uttar Pradesh Berozgari Bhatta Yojna (unemployment allowance), 2012. The allowance would be given to the eligible youth on a quarterly basis.

An official spokesman said the candidates registered in employment exchanges till March 15 this year who are natives of the state and annual income of their families is not more than Rs 36,000 per year from all sources would be eligible for the allowance.

The spokesman has clarified that once the candidates find an employment their allowance would be discontinued.

AIR correspondent reports that when unemployment allowance was rolled out during the previous Mulayam Singh Yadav Government, the age of eligibility was 21 years to 40 years.
