Rajasthan, the largest Indian state with a diversified economy, has always been committed towards collaborative development. As the state gears to host Invest Rajasthan Summit in its capital Jaipur, the government manifests its commitment to building enduring partnerships with private enterprises for the development of the state and prosperity of its people. With the objective to make this active outreach programme for investors a success, it is inviting the global business community of Rajasthan to experience and benefit from the bouquet of exciting opportunities that Rajasthan has to offer. With attractive investment proposals and incentives, the government aims to take them to fruition and build a promising future for all.
MARWAR conducts an exclusive interaction with Shri Ashok Gehlot, Chief Minister, Rajasthan, on his vision and overall development of the state.
EXCERPTS FROM THE INTERVIEW:
What are your key focus areas for the development of Rajasthan?
Public welfare is the top priority of the government of Rajasthan. It has always taken significant initiatives for the welfare of farmers, transgender community, women and children, the SC/ST/ OBC communities (scheduled caste/scheduled tribe/other backward class), persons with disabilities and other vulnerable communities. The upliftment of farmers has been our top priority. In a first, we presented an exclusive Agriculture Budget this year. Rajasthan government has waived farm loans of approximately ₹15,000 crore and given an additional subsidy of ₹1,000 on the electricity bills of every farmer, which has led to zero bills for almost three lakh farmers.
