Jaipur, April 23 -- With national discussions on delimitation intensifying, Rajasthan assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani said that the House is proactively expanding infrastructure to accommodate nearly 70 additional constituencies, including a new fourth-floor hall funded with Rs.14 crore. In an interview with HT, Devnani outlines preparations for a post-delimitation scenario, institutional reforms, improved legislative functioning, and efforts to connect the Assembly more closely with the public. Delimitation is the government's mandate, but the Rajasthan assembly is preparing proactively. The current House on the ground floor has a seating capacity of 200 members. The state government has sanctioned Rs.14 crore for a new hall on the fourth floor with a capacity of 280 seats. Post-delimitation, the number of constituencies is expected to rise by around 67-70. Infrastructure expansion is being planned accordingly to meet future requirements. The assembly is not just a law-making body; it is a bridge between the Constitution and the people. Earlier, access to the assembly museum was limited. We introduced Jan Darshan to open it up for public participation. In the past one and a half years, nearly 45,000 visitors have explored the museum and Rajasthan's political, economic, and cultural journey since 1952. We have also set up a Constitution Gallery showcasing all 22 chapters through visual panels. To mark 150 years of Vande Mataram, a dedicated gallery with 34 panels tracing its history has also been created. Since taking charge, we have ensured that questions raised between sessions are answered within the stipulated timeframe. Around 91% of replies are now received on time. Regular coordination with the chief secretary and departments has helped streamline the process and reduce delays. A series of programmes will be organised throughout the year to promote constitutional awareness and democratic values. We have already conducted initiatives like Youth Parliament and Environmental Parliament. During this Amrit Kaal, our focus is to connect the younger generation more deeply with democratic processes. Three themed gardens are being developed within the premises. The Kargil Shaurya Vatika was inaugurated, while Nakshatra Vatika and Herbal Vatika will open soon. We are also planning a Central Hall, on the lines of Parliament, with a budget of Rs.13 crore. It will provide a space for informal interaction between treasury and opposition members. The assembly diary has also been aligned with the Indian New Year. The 2026-27 edition features rare archival photographs-from Sawai Man Singh taking oath administered by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, to early sessions at Sawai Man Singh Town Hall, the appointment of Gurumukh Nihal Singh, the swearing-in of Hiralal Shastri, and an address by Jawaharlal Nehru....
