"The platform is emerging as a powerful tool to connect youth with nation-building initiatives. - CM Bhajan Lal Sharma"

Jaipur, April 2

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on Thursday chaired a high-level meeting at the Chief Minister's Residence to review the implementation of the 'My Bharat Digital Platform', emphasising the crucial role of youth in achieving the vision of a 'Viksit Bharat'.​

The Chief Minister said the platform is emerging as a powerful tool to connect youth with nation-building initiatives, noting that over 1.7 million youth in Rajasthan have already registered. ​

He directed officials to accelerate activities under the initiative and ensure wider participation across the state.

Sharma highlighted that the platform can effectively link youth to skill development and employment opportunities in sectors such as tourism, solar energy, and petrochemicals. ​

He also stressed the need to run de-addiction and rehabilitation campaigns to address substance abuse among young people.​

Calling for grassroots outreach, he directed officials to promote campaigns like 'Fit Rajasthan, Hit Rajasthan' across villages and cities, focusing on fitness, social awareness, and community participation. ​

The Chief Minister said the Rajasthan Youth Policy 2026 is aimed at holistic youth development. ​

He highlighted initiatives such as interest-free loans for entrepreneurship, along with schemes like the Chief Minister Youth Self-Employment Scheme, Vishwakarma Youth Entrepreneurship Promotion Scheme, Ma Voucher Scheme, and Gopal Credit Card Scheme, which are helping empower youth and women economically. ​

Referring to government recruitment, Sharma said examinations are now conducted in a transparent, time-bound manner, in contrast to past issues such as paper leaks.​

He reiterated the government's target of providing 4 lakh jobs over five years, adding that 1.25 lakh appointments have already been made and a recruitment calendar for over 1 lakh posts has been issued.​

Officials said the 'My Bharat' platform is enabling direct engagement through initiatives like Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue, Yuva Connect, Pad Yatras, Drug-Free Youth campaigns, Young Professionals Roundtables, and Budget Quest. The Chief Minister also interacted with young leaders during the meeting. Chief Secretary V. Srinivas and senior officials from the Centre and the state were present.

The focus on de-addiction campaigns is crucial. Substance abuse is a silent crisis in many small towns. Integrating rehabilitation with employment schemes can truly change lives. Good to see a holistic approach.

Transparency in government exams is a big relief for students. After the paper leak scandals, this assurance is needed. But the real test is delivery. Let's see if the 4 lakh jobs target is met on time.

As someone working in the development sector, direct digital engagement with youth is promising. Initiatives like 'Fit Rajasthan' promoting community participation can build strong social fabric. Execution is key.

Interest-free loans and schemes for entrepreneurship are excellent. But often, these benefits don't reach the truly needy in remote villages due to bureaucracy. Hope 'My Bharat' platform simplifies the process.

While the vision is good, I hope this isn't just another digital portal that gathers dust. We have seen many such platforms launched with fanfare but poor maintenance. Regular updates and genuine youth feedback are essential.

Empowering women through schemes like the Gopal Credit Card is a positive step. When women are economically independent, entire families benefit. Jai Rajasthan! 💪
