"We have provided one lakh jobs. - Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma"

Jaipur, January 17

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma emphasised that his government has provided one lakh jobs in the state and aims to ensure the progress of each citizen.

Sharma was addressing a gathering here on Friday, where he held a dialogue with beneficiaries of the Rajeevika scheme.

"We have provided one lakh jobs. The state government aims to ensure that our sisters and brothers can progress with full strength. The Rajasthan government is fully prepared to provide jobs to our brothers and sisters. Our government is giving an extra Rs 5 per litre (milk) to our mothers and sisters at the dairy. We are giving this so that you can use that money for your benefit," the Rajasthan CM said.

On Thursday, Sharma said that India's culture and literature are extraordinary, where trees, plants, mountains, and rivers are revered. He emphasised the need to preserve this rich cultural heritage and move forward so that future generations draw inspiration from it and feel a sense of pride.

According to a release, he said the state government is committed not only to Rajasthan's development but also to promoting its culture and literature, and appealed to people to make literature a part of their lives.

While addressing the inaugural session of the Jaipur Literature Festival, CM Sharma said that the land of Rajasthan has been a carrier of knowledge, art, and culture for centuries. Describing the Jaipur Literature Festival as a celebration and an ocean of ideas, he said the event would help further showcase Rajasthan's cultural heritage along with literature.

The Chief Minister said Rajasthan is a sacred land of literature, music, and art, where every heritage site, from Amer Fort to Hawa Mahal, reflects its rich culture. He cited Prithviraj Raso as a unique example of Rajasthan's heroic tradition, and said the devotion of Meera and the tales of Dhola-Maru continue to touch millions of hearts.

Writers and folklorists such as Vijaydan Detha, Kanhaiyalal Sethia, and Komal Kothari, he said, are torchbearers of Rajasthan's literary and cultural consciousness.

He added that Rajasthan is a land of devotion and valour, where heroes like Maharana Pratap, Panna Dhai, and Amrita Devi glorified the soil through their sacrifice, dedication, and courage.

The extra ₹5 per litre for milk is a direct benefit that will help women in rural areas immensely. My bua in a village near Jodhpur is part of a dairy cooperative. Such small financial boosts make a big difference in household budgets. 👏

Good to see a CM talking about both jobs and culture. Rajasthan's heritage is unmatched – from the forts to the folk tales. Promoting literature festivals is a great way to boost tourism and local artisans. Jai Rajasthan!

As someone who attended JLF last year, it's wonderful to see the state government supporting such platforms. The blend of development talk with cultural preservation is refreshing. Hope the job creation includes opportunities in the creative and heritage sectors too.

Numbers need verification. "One lakh jobs" is a big claim. We need a transparent portal listing these jobs and the recruitment process. Also, development should be balanced across all regions, not just Jaipur.

Mentioning icons like Meera Bai and Panna Dhai warms my heart. Our history and stories are our strength. If this government can create jobs while keeping our culture alive, it's a win-win. The focus on sisters and mothers in the speech is appreciated.
