At the employment fair exhibition, Sharma assessed various career and skill development opportunities. He criticized the previous government for the injustices faced by youth, particularly due to recurring exam paper leaks that undermined their aspirations. He assured that his administration has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to tackle this issue, resulting in measures against the paper leak mafia and justice for affected candidates.

The newly introduced Skill Policy is designed to equip youth with modern technological skills that align with industry demands, while the Youth Policy serves as a holistic framework for education, employment, and entrepreneurship.

Under the National Education Policy (NEP-2020), introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a transformative measure for education and employment, the government has initiated new B. Tech and M. Tech courses at Rajasthan Technical University in Kota.

The Mukhyamantri Shiksha Rajasthan Abhiyan will expedite the implementation of the NEP statewide. Sharma also announced significant initiatives for youth welfare in the state budget, including recruitment for around 1.25 lakh government jobs.
