Jaipur, Oct. 15 -- The Rajasthan cabinet on Wednesday passed a resolution congratulating Prime Minister Narendra Modi on completing 25 years of continuous public service, with chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma highlighting the Centre's initiatives and their impact on the state's development. The meeting of the state cabinet and council of ministers was held at the Chief Minister's Office under Sharma's chairmanship. Addressing media after the meeting, Sharma said Modi completed a historic milestone on October 7, marking 25 years of serving as the head of a government, first as Gujarat chief minister and subsequently as Prime Minister. He said Modi had received three successive strong electoral mandates as Gujarat chief minister and Prime Minister, reflecting the public's support for his leadership. He said Modi had established a new culture of reform, performance and transformation by considering himself the country's "pradhan sevak". He said Rajasthan had benefited from the Centre's support, particularly in addressing its water requirements. Progress had been made on major projects that had remained pending for decades, he added. The Ram Jal Setu Link Project is expected to provide drinking water to more than 30 million crore people across 17 districts and irrigation facilities to nearly 400,000 hectares of land. Agreements concerning the Yamuna, Kishau and Narmada rivers have also paved the way for strengthening the state's water security, Sharma said. Highlighting investment and infrastructure, the chief minister said the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit held in December 2024 resulted in memorandums of understanding worth Rs.35 lakh crore, of which projects worth more than Rs.9 lakh crore had reached the implementation stage. He said major projects supported by the Centre included the country's first integrated greenfield refinery at Pachpadra, Jaipur Metro Phase II and the Mahi Banswara nuclear power project. On employment, Sharma said the state government had provided appointments to 193,000 candidates, while recruitment for 118,000 posts was underway and preparations were being made to fill more than 70,000 additional posts. He claimed that more than 410 examinations had been conducted transparently without paper leaks. He highlighted an increase in the annual state assistance under the PM-Kisan scheme to Rs.9,000, daytime electricity supply to farmers in 26 districts, and initiatives such as Lakhpati Didi and Lado Protsahan Yojana....
