Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has identified mining and tourism as the twin engines driving Rajasthan’s development, citing the state’s strategic location, rich mineral reserves, robust energy capacity, and investor-friendly policies as key strengths.
Reviewing the progress of MoUs signed under the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit—which secured agreements worth ₹35 lakh crore—Sharma stressed that the summit was not a one-off event but part of a sustained development process. He instructed officials to fast-track land allocation and project grounding, offering alternative sites where required, and urged district collectors to monitor progress closely through regular investor engagement.
Highlighting the role of both large-scale and district-level investments, Sharma noted that smaller projects create substantial local jobs and form the base for bigger industrial ventures.
Focusing on sectoral growth, he called for pre-summits on mining, petrochemicals, and tourism ahead of the Rising Rajasthan Partnership Conclave 2025 in Jaipur this December. He also ordered a comprehensive mineral survey and stressed preserving Shekhawati havelis to strengthen Rajasthan’s tourism appeal.
The upcoming conclave will spotlight the state’s industrial transformation post-MoU implementation and aim to build global, government-to-government, and multilateral investment partnerships. Special sessions on youth, women, and farmers, as well as a One District, One Product exhibition, will also feature in the event.
Chief Secretary Sudhansh Pant, senior officials, and district collectors attended the review meeting via video conference.
