Jaipur, April 3 -- Chief minister Bhajanlal Sharma on Thursday stressed the need to actively curb rising substance abuse among youth, directing officials to run focused anti-drug campaigns alongside ongoing youth engagement initiatives in the state. Chairing a review meeting of the MY Bharat Digital Platform at his residence, Sharma said, "Preventing addiction among young people must be a priority and that dedicated activities promoting de-addiction should be integrated into youth programmes across Rajasthan." Highlighting the broader vision, he said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Viksit Bharat" mission places youth at the centre of nation-building. He noted that the MY Bharat platform is emerging as a powerful digital tool to channelise youth energy in a constructive direction, with over 17 lakh registrations already recorded in Rajasthan. The chief minister directed officials to accelerate activities under the platform and ensure maximum participation of youth. He said campaigns focusing on de-addiction, fitness, and social awareness should be expanded to every village and city under the vision of "Fit Rajasthan, Hit Rajasthan." Sharma emphasised that Rajasthan offers diverse employment opportunities across sectors such as tourism, solar energy, and petrochemicals. He said the platform would help connect youth with skill training and enable access to local employment opportunities through data-driven interventions. Underscoring the government's commitment, he said the Rajasthan Youth Policy-2026 is paving the way for holistic development of young people. Interest-free loans and schemes like Chief Minister Yuva Swarozgar Yojana and Vishwakarma Yuva Udyami Protsahan Yojana are encouraging entrepreneurship and helping youth become job creators. The chief minister also said recruitment examinations are now being conducted in a transparent and time-bound manner, contrasting it with alleged irregularities in the previous government's tenure. He further added that the state is working towards providing 400,000 government jobs in five years, with over 125,000 appointments already made and recruitment underway for more than 100,000 posts....
