Highlighting the challenges, the Chief Minister noted that approximately 1.10 lakh engineering graduates pass out in the state every year, but only about 15% of them secure jobs. This stark disparity reflects significant gaps in employability and skills.

He also pointed out that of the Rs 21,000 crore allocated annually to the Education Department, 98 per cent is spent on salaries, leaving little for infrastructure or reforms.
