The administration highlighted that the private sector is the primary sustainable solution for regional employment, moving away from a sole reliance on government jobs.

Students got apprised of various government schemes, incubation support, and training initiatives aimed at nurturing entrepreneurial talent in the region. Successful start-up founders shared their journeys, motivating students to think beyond conventional career paths and explore self-employment and innovation-driven ventures.
