He told the youth that Shri Rajiv Gandhi had become the Prime Minister of the country just at the age of 40.

Today, the effect of the same is being seen in the enthusiasm of the youth, dedication towards work and innovations. In the fest, Shri Gehlot encouraged the youth by appreciating the innovations while visiting the exhibition based on information technology.

The youth of Rajasthan will be able to shape their future by staying here.
Gehlot said that the state government is giving top priority to education. When I became the Chief Minister for the first time, at that time there were only 6 universities in Rajasthan which has become 89 today. Today reputed institutes like IIT, Triple IT, AIIMS are operating in Rajasthan. Medical colleges are opening in 30 out of 33 districts of the state. With this, the youth will no longer have to go out for medical studies.
