The chief minister congratulated the 19 industrialists and scientists who received the FAPCCI Excellence Award 2010-11. He said, "About 54 percent of the population is youth aged below 25 years. We have to use their energy and intelligence for development of the state as well as the country. So we are going to spend Rs 777 crore in 2012-13 to train five lakh youths in various trades. The youth trained will also be absorbed by companies.’"
