On September 2, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced the establishment of the Uttar Pradesh Outsource Service Corporation (UPCOS). This move aims to provide comprehensive support and resolve issues faced by outsourced personnel across the state. The Corporation will operate a portal and website to facilitate communication between government departments, outsourced agencies, and employees.
The new arrangement will cover a significant portion of the state's outsourced workforce - over 3.5 lakh individuals, with an additional 17-20 lakh people, including their family members, also benefiting. Adityanath emphasized that this system will ensure that employees receive respect, security, and dignity, addressing the longstanding gaps in the previous setup that left employees without a clear avenue to voice their concerns.
A key aspect of the new policy is the provision of accident insurance cover, which can reach up to ₹40 lakh. This initiative seeks to eliminate economic discrimination and provide employees with proper remuneration that reflects their hard work. The Chief Minister underscored that the government is committed to ensuring timely payments, social security, and comprehensive health insurance for outsourced personnel and their families.
Through this new Corporation, the government aims to streamline recruitment, enhance transparency, and grant employees a secure future based on their contributions.
