AJMER, RAJASTHAN — In a defining national moment, Prime Minister Narendra Modi  addressed a massive public gathering in Ajmer, marking a significant milestone  in Rajasthan’s accelerated development journey and reinforcing the vision of  “Developed India through Developed Rajasthan.”

Anchoring the address in civilizational pride, the Prime Minister paid homage  to Tejaji Dham of Sursura and remembered the valor of Major Dalpat Singh,  whose role in the liberation of Haifa continues to be honored in Israel —  a reminder that Rajasthan’s legacy of courage carries global resonance.

₹17,000 CRORE DEVELOPMENT PUSH

Projects worth approximately ₹17,000 crore were inaugurated and foundation  stones laid across critical sectors:

  • Roads and transport connectivity  
  • Electricity infrastructure  
  • Drinking water systems  
  • Health facilities  
  • Education institutions  

These initiatives are expected to significantly enhance public convenience,  stimulate local economies, and generate employment opportunities for youth.

More than 21,000 appointment letters were distributed, marking a concrete  expansion of government employment and opening a new chapter for Rajasthan’s  young workforce.

NARI SHAKTI & HEALTH SECURITY

From Ajmer, the Prime Minister launched the nationwide HPV vaccination campaign  — a major step toward protecting mothers and daughters and strengthening  preventive healthcare in India.

Reaffirming women-centric governance, he highlighted mission-mode initiatives:

  • Large-scale toilet construction  
  • Wider availability of sanitary pads  
  • Ujjwala Gas connections for clean cooking  
  • ₹5,000 financial assistance for pregnant women to ensure proper nutrition  

He emphasized that a healthy mother builds a strong family, and a strong family  builds a resilient nation.

ENERGY TRANSITION & SOLAR EMPOWERMENT

Under the PM Surya Ghar Free Electricity Scheme, ₹78,000 assistance is being  provided for rooftop solar installations. Over 1.25 lakh families in Rajasthan  have already joined the initiative, with many households reducing electricity  bills to nearly zero — signaling a decentralized clean-energy revolution.

INFRASTRUCTURE AS ECONOMIC FORCE

Improved road, rail, and air connectivity is transforming Rajasthan’s growth  landscape. Tourism in the Ajmer–Pushkar region is expanding, benefitting local  businesses, traders, and workers.

Integration with the Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor is positioning Rajasthan  as a strategic investment hub — strengthening its role in India’s manufacturing,  logistics, and global supply-chain architecture.

FARMERS & WATER SECURITY

Commitment was reaffirmed to major water and river-linking projects, including:

  • ERCP initiative  
  • Modified Parvati–Kalisindh–Chambal link  
  • Yamuna–Rajasthan link  

These projects are expected to support farmers in Jhalawar, Baran, Kota, and  Bundi, ensuring irrigation stability and long-term agricultural resilience.

GLOBAL STATURE & NATIONAL SECURITY

The Prime Minister referenced India’s rising global influence, including the  hosting of the world’s largest AI summit in Delhi and international appreciation  for India’s growth trajectory.

He also underscored decisive responses to terrorism over the past decade,  emphasizing strong national security and institutional resolve.

VISION FORWARD

The message from Ajmer was clear: development is no longer incremental —  it is structural, inclusive, and future-facing.

From infrastructure and solar energy to women’s health and youth employment,  Rajasthan’s acceleration reflects a broader national momentum.

  • Developed Rajasthan.
  • Developed India.

A new growth chapter has begun.
