Good to see focus on sanitation, but I hope this is not just a one-week show. In my district, the municipal corporation workers come only when there's a VIP visit. Need permanent solutions and accountability. The ODOP exhibition is a great idea though, will support local artisans.

As someone who has visited Rajasthan many times, the improvement in public cleanliness, especially around tourist sites, is noticeable. Combining this with cultural programs and youth events is a smart way to build community spirit. The 'Viksit Rajasthan Run' sounds fun!

Swachh Bharat has definitely changed mindsets. My kids now scold me if I even think of throwing a chocolate wrapper on the road 😅. Hope the employment letters distributed lead to real jobs. Jai Rajasthan!

The vision for a Developed Rajasthan by 2047 is ambitious. Cleanliness is the first step, but we also need to focus on the basics: water supply and waste management infrastructure in smaller towns. The week's schedule looks packed with good events.

Including the Maha-Aarti at Govind Dev Ji Temple is a beautiful way to connect the celebrations with our culture. Cleanliness is next to godliness, after all. Hope the message reaches every village and town. 🙏
