Rajasthan CM Bhajanlal Sharma Engages Tribal Communities on Welfare

Rajasthan CM holds meeting with tribal groups over welfare schemes, partnership

Jaipur, May 17

Discussions were held regarding budget allocations for the welfare of these communities, as well as a partnership for the 'Kishore Sanstha.'

A delegation representing the communities expressed their gratitude to Chief Minister Sharma.

During the event, the Chief Minister also presided over the 301st birth anniversary celebrations of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar--revered as 'Lok Mata' (Mother of the People), where a calendar of cultural programs to be held across the state was unveiled.

The event was attended by numerous community representatives, including Durmantu Kumar Baghel, the State President of the De-notified, Nomadic, and Semi-Nomadic tribal communities.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the Chief Minister issued a set of special guidelines aimed at promoting the conservation of petrol and diesel across the state.

The move follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent appeal to the nation to manage resources effectively amid global energy uncertainties and the ongoing conflict in West Asia.

Addressing the media in Jaipur, Sharma said the Prime Minister's appeal on various national issues has had a positive impact across the country, and Rajasthan is also taking steps in the same direction.

He said the government has decided to reduce fuel consumption by cutting down unnecessary usage of vehicles by officials and public representatives.

"I have decided to reduce the number of vehicles in my convoy. All officials and public representatives in the state will also ensure economy in vehicle usage and avoid unnecessary deployment of vehicles," the Rajasthan CM said.

"Programs should also be reduced in number to save petrol and diesel consumption," Sharma said, adding that the move is aimed at supporting national efforts toward energy conservation.
