During the programme, several influencers had the chance to share their views and aspirations, aiming to elevate their roles more significantly within the state.

Other suggestions included initiatives to support influencers, particularly in the field of entrepreneurship.
In response, the Chief Minister said the state government continuously considers the needs of the people, including those in the creative and influencer communities, in the shared effort to develop the state according to each group's capacity.
