Udaipur, In a pioneering move to support higher education in Rajasthan, Udaipur MP Dr. Mannalal Rawat has initiated the distribution of books worth ₹1 lakh each to 18 government colleges in the Udaipur parliamentary constituency. This initiative is being carried out under the Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS).
Dr. Rawat stated that many colleges lack access to basic course textbooks, which directly affects students' academic progress. Recognizing this gap, he recommended the establishment of Youth Resource Centres in all government colleges across the constituency and provision of books especially useful for competitive exam preparation—particularly benefiting students from tribal regions.
The colleges benefiting from this initiative include:
Government College, Dhariyawad
Government PG College, Pratapgarh
Government College, Sarada
Government College, Semari
Hadarani Government PG College, Salumber
Government College, Lasadia
Government Girls College, Kherwada
