The fair lasted for three days and saw the participation of 65 companies. The central government and other state governments are also giving job offers to many young people.

The central government has been implementing employment generation policies for nearly a decade, understanding their significance for economic growth, poverty reduction, and social stability. Significant investments in infrastructure projects are also creating employment opportunities in related sectors. Initiatives like Skill India, Startup India, and Make in India are actively contributing to employment generation, with the government providing support to the startup ecosystem.
