     He said employment opportunities will be provided directly and indirectly through investments and infrastructural reforms in tourism, construction, service, MSME, agriculture, and non-conventional energy. The youth will be encouraged to take up skill development projects.
     He further warned that those who commit fraud in the recruitment process should be careful because the government has changed in the state, and those who harm the interests of the youth will not be spared.
