UP Chief Minister Announces Merit-Based Recruitment of 470 Sportspersons in Police
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced appointment letters for 470 sportspersons selected under the skilled sportsperson quota in the state police, including various ranks. He highlighted a shift since 2017 toward merit-based recruitment, contrasting it with previous practices focused on recommendations and influence. Over 534 sportspersons have been recruited across departments, with another 866 in process. The government credits this change to a new sports policy and efforts to link sporting talent with employment and secure futures.
