A collaborative initiative with PanIIT will be launched to support the empowerment of underprivileged communities, focusing on skill development, vocational training, and rural entrepreneurship. The government has also approved amendments to the Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, aiming to curb accidents and pollution, alongside allowing vehicle owners to transfer their existing fancy registration numbers to new vehicles. The cabinet also approved the Chhattisgarh Private Universities (Establishment and Operation) Amendment Bill, 2025, and a new student startup and innovation policy.
