Rajasthan CM Bhajanlal Sharma says youth key to building developed India, highlights recruitment drive
Jaipur, July 28
Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma on Tuesday said the youth are the future of the country and asserted that the progress of the state and the nation depends on their advancement, while highlighting the state government's ongoing recruitment and employment initiatives.
Addressing the 'Sapno Ki Udaan' programme, Sharma said the initiative was organised to encourage young people to pursue their aspirations.
"The youth represent the country's future. Only when the youth progress will the state and the nation advance. When a human being exerts determined effort, even a stone turns into water. We want our youth to soar high and realise their dreams," he said.
Highlighting the government's employment measures, the Chief Minister said appointment letters had been issued to 1.78 lakh youths and that the recruitment process for another 51,000 posts had been completed, with appointment letters to be distributed within the next two months. He added that examinations for 80,000 posts would be conducted soon and that a recruitment drive for another 70,000 posts had also been announced.
Sharma said the government was fulfilling its commitments and added that, despite completing only two-and-a-half years in office, more work remained to be done.
Referring to former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the Chief Minister said dreams should inspire people to work towards their goals. He urged the youth to remain determined, saying every major achievement begins with a small dream and that nothing is impossible with dedication.
He also said the aspirations of young people are shared by their families and urged them to fulfil their parents' expectations through hard work and responsible use of the opportunities available to them.
The Chief Minister said several young people were availing government schemes to become self-employed while also generating employment for others. He added that the government was working to create employment opportunities across sectors, including tourism.
Sharma further said strict action was being taken against those involved in paper leak cases in Rajasthan and that those found guilty had been sent to jail. He also said five traditional rural sports had been included under the 'Rajasthan Gaurav Khel' initiative, while new policies had been introduced and sports competitions organised to promote youth participation.
Concluding his address, the Chief Minister said the state government would continue to support young people in achieving their aspirations. "Those who dare never lose," he said.

"Sapno Ki Udaan" is a nice theme. Today's youth in Rajasthan have opportunities our parents could only dream of. And including traditional sports like kabaddi and gilli-danda in the Gaurav Khel initiative is brilliant - keeps our culture alive! 👏👏
While the numbers are impressive on paper, we need to see the quality of jobs. Are these permanent government positions or contract-based? The youth need stable careers, not just temporary appointments. Still, better than nothing for sure.
Even after two and a half years, CM acknowledges more work remains. That's honest. But what about the youth in rural areas who can't afford coaching for these exams? The govt should offer free mentoring and study material in villages. Empowerment through education is key. 💪
Interesting to see the focus on tourism jobs too. Rajasthan already attracts so many international tourists. With proper skill development programs, our youth can become excellent guides, hotel managers, or even start their own homestays. The potential is huge if implemented well.
"Those who dare never lose" - inspiring words but empty if the system doesn't support the darers. I know many bright kids who gave up because of exam delays and corruption. The speed of 80,000 new exam announcements is good, but please ensure no more paper leaks. Every rupee of a poor student's family is at stake.
