As part of his initiative to create more job opportunities, Chief Minister Sharma announced the recruitment of 10,000 school teachers and 4,000 patwaris (village-level revenue officers). This is expected to provide much-needed employment in both education and revenue sectors.
In a significant move aimed at addressing unemployment and strengthening governance, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma made several key announcements on Wednesday, including plans for large-scale recruitment and youth empowerment programs. These decisions are set to impact thousands of residents across the state, addressing both immediate employment needs and long-term developmental goals.
Major Recruitment Drives: 10,000 Teachers, 4,000 Patwaris, and 1,750 Forest Department Posts
As part of his initiative to create more job opportunities, Chief Minister Sharma announced the recruitment of 10,000 school teachers and 4,000 patwaris (village-level revenue officers). This is expected to provide much-needed employment in both education and revenue sectors. Furthermore, the government will fill 1,750 vacant posts in the Forest Department, reinforcing its commitment to improving environmental and ecological governance.
Financial Support for Youth: INR 10,000 Assistance and New Internship Scheme
Under the Mukhyamantri Yuva Rojgar Protsahan Yojana, the government will extend one-time financial assistance of INR 10,000 to eligible youths. This move is aimed at enhancing opportunities for young people to pursue their career goals and improve their livelihoods.
Additionally, educated unemployed youth will be offered an alternative to unemployment allowance, with the opportunity to receive INR 6,000 under the Pradhan Mantri Internship Yojana. This internship will offer valuable experience while also providing a financial cushion to young people as they enter the workforce.
Committee to Investigate Big Projects from Congress Era
In a move aimed at increasing transparency, Chief Minister Sharma announced the formation of a high-level committee tasked with investigating large-scale projects initiated under the previous Congress government. This committee will examine the progress and accountability of these projects, ensuring that state resources are being used effectively and efficiently.
Rajasthan Assembly Passes Finance and Appropriation Bills
During the same session, the Rajasthan Assembly passed the finance and appropriation bills by a voice vote. These bills are crucial for the state's financial management, allowing the government to allocate funds for various development projects and public services.
CM Talks Water Security and Economic Growth
Addressing the Assembly, Chief Minister Sharma highlighted the Haryana government's formation of a task force to prepare a joint Detailed Project Report (DPR) aimed at bringing Yamuna water to Rajasthan, a crucial step toward improving water security in the state.
The Chief Minister also provided updates on the progress of projects initiated at the Rising Rajasthan Summit. He revealed that MoUs worth INR 3 lakh crore signed at the Investor Summit would be implemented by March 30, a move aimed at boosting the state’s economic growth.
He also compared the effectiveness of various investment initiatives, stating that while Congress had signed MoUs worth INR 12.5 lakh crore, only a fraction of it was implemented. Conversely, the BJP government had signed MoUs worth INR 35 lakh crore, with INR 2.24 lakh crore already in progress.
Leader of Opposition Challenges RSS and State Government
In a strong rebuttal, Leader of Opposition Tika Ram Jully accused the state government of succumbing to the influence of the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh), alleging that they had altered several government rules at the behest of the organization. He also challenged the RSS to take "real steps" towards ending untouchability and improving the condition of Dalits in the state.
Jully's remarks were met with heated responses in the Assembly, sparking a brief uproar. In a direct challenge to the RSS, he stated, "If they have the courage, let them launch a campaign in Rajasthan to end untouchability and uplift Dalits."
Criticism Over IIFA Spending and Pensions Delay
Jully also criticized the state government for its spending on the IIFA awards, claiming that more than INR 100 crore were allocated to the event while important religious sites, such as Khatu Shyam ji and Govind Dev ji, were being neglected. He further criticized the government for the delay in disbursing social security pensions, with pensions meant for Diwali still pending as Holi approaches.
Jully claimed this delay reflected the government's lack of concern for the poor and underlined its failure to fulfill its promises to the state's vulnerable population.
