Udaipur: Rajasthan is witnessing a new chapter of development under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Bhajanlal Sharma, said Revenue and Settlement Minister and district in-charge, Shri Hemant Meena. Addressing the District-Level Development and Governance Festival, Shri Meena highlighted the government's commitment to social upliftment, infrastructure development, nature conservation, and cultural promotion for all communities and regions.
The event was part of the Rajasthan Day celebrations, and Shri Meena emphasized that no sector or group had been left out of government initiatives. "The state government is dedicated to the comprehensive development of its citizens," he said. He further explained that the government had been giving new opportunities to the people of Rajasthan through various schemes as part of the week-long Rajasthan Day celebrations.
The program was held at the Sukhadia Rangmanch Auditorium, with distinguished guests including Udaipur Rural MLA Phool Singh Meena, Divisional Commissioner Pragya Kevalramani, District Collector Namit Mehta, former Mayor Govind Singh Tank, and social worker Mahesh Sharma.
Shri Meena also shared that Rajasthan Day is celebrated on March 30 each year to mark the formation of the Rajasthan Union in 1949. The Chief Minister has declared that it will now be celebrated annually on Chaitra Pratipada, in alignment with Indian culture.
During the event, a live telecast of the state-level ceremony held at Bhilwara’s Chitrakoot Dham was shown, where the Chief Minister interacted virtually with beneficiaries from various districts. Udaipur's Gogunda resident, disabled farmer Krishna Gopal Paliwal, expressed his gratitude to the Chief Minister for the establishment of a 420 KV power grid station, which will benefit farmers and local consumers by providing uninterrupted electricity.
The event also saw the distribution of pattas (land titles) and lease deeds to various beneficiaries. Udaipur Development Authority (UDA) awarded pattas to recipients like Manju Paliwal, Devendra Singh, and others. Lease deeds were handed over to Bhawri Devi, Shantilal Sahu, and several more, while possession documents and allotment letters were provided to other eligible individuals.
A special highlight of the event was the virtual release of the "Panch Gaurav" booklet, which showcases Udaipur district’s unique attributes, including Marble and Granite as the district's primary product, Swimming as the prominent sport, Sitaphal as the notable fruit, Mahua as the indigenous species, and Fatehsagar and Pichola Lakes as the district's key destinations. The booklet outlines the future plans for each of these "Panch Gauravs."
