Jaipur, Jan. 14 -- Chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma announced on Tuesday to create six lakh (600,000) employment opportunities in the private sector over the next five years, adding that the state government has already provided more than 200,000 jobs since the party came to power in 2023. Addressing a delegation of youth from Dungarpur at the chief minister's residence, Sharma said, "The government will create six lakh (600,000) employment opportunities in the private sector over the next five years. We have already provided more than 2 lakh (200,000) jobs in the last two years." The CM declared that the youth represent the future of the nation and the pride of Rajasthan. Their hard work and strong determination will prove key to realising the vision of a Developed India by 2047, he said. Youth power has played a significant role in development both in India and abroad. Sharma described the Vagad region as tribal-dominated and noted that the state government continuously takes decisions to empower tribal communities. Government schemes benefit all sections and regions, while new dimensions of development emerge in Vagad too. Investment-friendly policies have sparked increased job opportunities for young people in the IT industry and startups, Sharma said. He said that the government pays special attention to empowering youth in tribal-dominated areas and has launched schemes for the region's overall development. He urged Vagad youth to acquire skills, adopt technology, and embrace innovation to become job creators. The chief minister highlighted that the government provided over 100,000 jobs in the past two years, with recruitment underway for 143,000 posts. During that period, authorities conducted 351 recruitment examinations transparently, with not a single paper leak reported-making Rajasthan a paper-leak-free state. Sharma cautioned youth against drug abuse, calling it destructive for families, careers, and lives. He appealed to young people to stop their peers from falling into addiction and said that de-addiction campaigns should be run with the support of the administration and police. He also advised limited use of social media and warned against online misinformation. The government works in mission mode to make youth self-reliant and promote entrepreneurship, Sharma said. Under the Chief Minister's Youth Self-Employment Scheme, it provides interest-free loans to people aged 18 to 45 years. He added that a new youth policy offers ample opportunities in education, skill development, and other sectors. Out of Rs.35 lakh crore worth of MoUs signed during the Rising Rajasthan initiative, projects worth Rs.8 lakh crore have already been launched, benefiting Vagad youth, Sharma said. He announced employment fairs for the region to boost job opportunities further. During the programme, a presentation outlined the beautification of Beneshwar Dham, which the chief minister described as the "Haridwar of Rajasthan." The government commits to preserving this historic religious site, strengthening basic infrastructure, and enhancing facilities for devotees....
