According to the state government, 46,575 young men and women have been inducted into government service through 17 employment fairs during the 27 months since the government was formed.

The occasion also saw the unveiling of an age-based Mental Health Guidelines booklet for youth, beginning at the pre-primary level. The state described the initiative as the first of its kind in the country.
The booklet has been prepared jointly by the Departments of Education, Health, Women and Child Development, and Skill Development. It is intended to strengthen the mental well-being of young people and support their overall development.
Deputy Chief Ministers Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo and Pravati Parida, Health Minister Dr. Mukesh Mahaling, and Minister of Revenue and Disaster Management Suresh Pujari attended the mega event.
