"The entire train has been designed to reflect the rich cultural heritage of Rajasthan. We've incorporated images of our state animal, the camel, Gaumata, forts, and cultural heritage sites. This train will travel to various pilgrimage sites across the country, giving people a glimpse into Rajasthan's vibrant culture. With these new initiatives, we're confident that our senior citizens will have a trouble-free and enriching experience on their pilgrimage", further added Joraram Kumat.

Earlier on June 4, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma launched a state-wide 'Vande Ganga' water conservation campaign to address the issue of water scarcity. Starting on the occasion of World Environment Day and Ganga Dussehra, this campaign will run until June 20, featuring extensive water conservation efforts by various departments across the state.

Through these activities, public awareness will be raised about the importance of water conservation. For the successful execution of this campaign, ministers have been assigned duties in all 41 districts of the state.
