Chairing a high-level review meeting at the Chief Minister’s Office on Tuesday, Sharma stated that MoUs worth approximately Rs 37 lakh crore were signed at the summit, of which projects worth Rs 3 lakh crore have already been implemented on the ground.

"These investments are accelerating the pace of industrial development and opening up ample employment opportunities for the youth," he said.

The Chief Minister directed officials to maintain constant communication with investors and prioritise the implementation of MoUs across sectors such as tourism, medical education, healthcare, textiles, apparel, automobiles, and electric vehicles (EVs).

He instructed district collectors to facilitate expeditious land allocation for proposed projects and conduct on-site inspections with investors to showcase available land options.

To enhance coordination and accelerate progress, Sharma ordered the appointment of nodal officers in each department to oversee and monitor the implementation of MoUs.

“These officers should act swiftly, conduct regular reviews, and address technical issues to ensure smooth execution,” he said.

He also called upon investors to honour their commitments and complete projects within the stipulated timelines. Highlighting the potential of the tourism sector, the Chief Minister said the recently launched Tourism Policy will provide the necessary thrust to the state’s economy and promote the comprehensive development of tourist destinations.

“Rajasthan is now a global tourism hub, with growing opportunities in eco, rural, heritage, adventure, and religious tourism,” he said, adding that the government is committed to generating new employment opportunities through tourism expansion.

Speaking on the healthcare sector, Sharma reiterated the government’s focus on strengthening quality health services from rural hamlets to urban centres. He said that new medical colleges and hospitals being established under the MoUs will bolster the state’s medical infrastructure.

“There is a growing demand for skilled medical professionals across India and globally, offering golden career opportunities for youth,” he noted.

While reviewing the EV and automobile sectors, the Chief Minister pointed out the increasing relevance of electric mobility in view of limited natural resources.

He assured that investor concerns are being addressed through the single-window system and that the government is fully committed to providing a conducive environment for industrial growth.

The meeting was attended by Chief Secretary Sudhansh Pant, senior officials from various departments, and key investors. District collectors from across the state joined the review meeting via video conferencing

This is fantastic news! Rajasthan has so much untapped potential in tourism and renewable energy. If these MoUs get implemented properly, it could transform the state's economy. Just hope they don't forget about sustainable development while chasing these big numbers 🤞

Rs 37 lakh crore MoUs signed but only Rs 3 lakh crore implemented so far? The gap is worrying. Government needs to show more urgency in execution. Too many projects in India get stuck in red tape. Hope Rajasthan breaks this trend!

As someone from Jaipur, I'm excited about the tourism focus! Our heritage sites deserve world-class infrastructure. But please don't turn everything into expensive hotels - budget travelers and locals should still be able to enjoy our culture 🏰

Good to see EV sector getting attention. Rajasthan has perfect conditions for solar-powered EV manufacturing. Hope they create proper skill development programs along with these investments so local youth can get quality jobs, not just construction work.

Medical colleges are much needed! But I hope they're distributed properly across the state, not just in big cities. Rural healthcare in Rajasthan needs urgent attention. Quality doctors should be incentivized to serve in smaller towns too.

The numbers sound impressive but execution is key. We've seen many investment summits with big promises that never materialized. Hope this CM means business - Rajasthan deserves real development, not just announcements.
