Addressing a youth interaction programme at the Chief Minister's residence, Sharma said the government is working towards providing 400,000 government jobs and facilitating employment opportunities for 600,000 youth in the private sector. He said more than 125,000 appointments to government posts have already been made, while recruitment processes for over 135,000 posts are underway. In addition, a recruitment calendar for another 125,000 government vacancies has been released for the current year. The CM said the government had taken strict action against those involved in examination paper leaks. "The culprits have been sent behind bars, and more than 350 examinations have been conducted during our tenure without any paper leak," he said, adding that a new youth policy has also been introduced to create greater opportunities for young people. Highlighting efforts to boost self-employment, Sharma said Atal Gyan Kendras are being developed at the village level to help students prepare for competitive examinations. Nearly 400,000 youth have received skill training, while 436 employment assistance camps have been organised across the state, he said.
