He also talked about key initiatives such as the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit, which has facilitated local employment opportunities through MoUs, and the Skill Development and Placement Camps, which have provided career guidance to over 10,000 youth and job placements for nearly 30,000 individuals.

To promote innovation, Sharma said the government has established Startup Launchpads, registering over 900 startups in the past year.

Special provisions, such as reserving 30 per cent of college seats for female students and waiving fees for children of marginal, small farmers and farm labourers, reflect the state's inclusive development approach.
