Is there any way to fetch github secret value and display in workflow or fetch through library or APi or even github portal once it is stored. I just want to validate.

There is no way to actually display the github secret value but there are ways to validate eg you can use if: {{secret_name}} == 'release' , then do this else do that. Reference for writing if condition in github workflow: https://github.blog/changelog/2019-10-01-github-actions-new-workflow-syntax-features/
Github Actions replaces secret values in the log, so if you want to view the secret you must change its value first. Like this step:
- name: DISPLAY SECRETS
run: echo ${{secrets.mysecret}} | sed 's/./& /g'
This will insert a space between each character of the secret, allowing you to see its value.
