Among them are conducting the State Public Service Commission (MPPSC) exams twice a year starting from 2027, as well as establishing twelve new medical colleges and an equal number of universities with a focus on vocational skills.
Speaking at the 'CM Youth Conclave-2026' event in the capital Bhopal, Yadav stated that the scholarship for researchers would be increased to 25,000 rupees per month, up from the previous 16,000 rupees, aiming to stimulate scientific research in higher education.

Furthermore, the government plans to build 12 new medical institutions and 12 universities where courses focused on employment will be offered.
During this summit, young talented individuals from across the state gathered to interact with the head of the government. One student, Maisha Khan, asked about the government's plans to support agriculture among the youth. In response, Yadav stated that the government intends to create a value chain in the future, covering all stages from fields to food processing.
