How to Create 10 Crore Jobs in Uttar Pradesh While Making It into a USD One Trillion Economy

The report outlines a strategic roadmap to transform Uttar Pradesh’s economy and employment scenario by 2027. With the state’s goal of becoming a one trillion-dollar economy, the report emphasizes that growth must be inclusive, bridging regional and social disparities and ensuring widespread employment opportunities across all sections of society.

Key challenges identified include low labor force participation—particularly among women—high unemployment rates, and stark regional imbalances in income and job availability. The report critiques the limited effectiveness of previous policies and calls for a shift toward sustainable and inclusive economic development.

The central idea of the report is a multidimensional development approach, referred to as the “Eightfold Path,” which integrates environmental restoration, human capital investment, and economic empowerment. It suggests regenerating natural resources like water, forests, land, and biodiversity to create rural livelihoods. It also calls for modernizing agriculture by improving resilience, diversification, and building value chains through collective models like Farmer Producer Organizations.

The report stresses the need to invest in health, education, and skills to build a productive workforce. It promotes support for women’s groups, youth-led cooperatives, and collective enterprises, alongside better access to credit for micro and small businesses. Expanding infrastructure, promoting labor-intensive manufacturing and services, and creating a strong ecosystem for entrepreneurship and innovation are seen as critical levers for job creation.

Uttar Pradesh’s transformation depends on a collaborative effort by government, private sector, and civil society to align economic expansion with employment generation and social equity.
