The Uttar Pradesh government is expected to approve a major welfare proposal for teachers and education-related staff in the state. A cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is scheduled to be held on Thursday, during which more than 29 proposals will be presented for approval.
Among the key decisions likely to be taken is a proposal to provide cashless medical treatment of up to ₹5 lakh to nearly five lakh beneficiaries. This scheme is expected to cover teachers working in government-aided secondary schools, basic education teachers, Shiksha Mitras, instructors, cooks, and their dependent family members.
The proposal, brought by the Secondary Education and Basic Education departments, aims to extend health security to teaching and non-teaching staff associated with the education system.
The cabinet agenda also includes three proposals from the Transport Department. These involve recruitment for 35 posts of Motor Vehicle Inspectors and the creation of new posts of Assistant Regional Transport Officer for road safety in all districts, along with framing new recruitment rules.
In addition, proposals from the Science and Technology Department and the Finance Department will be discussed. The agenda also includes relaxation in rules for certain brick kilns, extension of the validity period of the IT Manufacturing Policy, and two proposals from the Urban Development Department.
The cabinet is also expected to take decisions related to further land acquisition for the Jewar International Airport project.
