Jaipur, Rajasthan Chief minister Bhajanlal Sharma said on Thursday that the state is making rapid progress in girls’ education, with the government focusing on expanding infrastructure and ensuring access to quality education for girls.
Addressing a function in Rohat, Pali, after inaugurating a newly constructed girls’ college at a Gurukul institution, Sharma said development in any sector is possible only when youths receive quality education.
According to an official statement, he said the state government, in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision, has prepared a development roadmap focusing on youth, women, farmers and labourers.
Sharma said the government is prioritising development in key sectors, including power and water, adding that daytime electricity supply is currently being provided to farmers in 24 districts and will be extended across the state by 2027.
He said the government is working towards generating six lakh jobs in the private sector and four lakh in the public sector. About 1.25 lakh government appointments have already been made, while recruitment is underway for 1.33 lakh posts, he said.
The chief minister said examination paper leaks shattered the dreams of youth during the previous government’s tenure, but claimed that no such incidents have occurred under the present dispensation.
Gujarat Assembly Speaker Shankarbhai Chaudhary, who was present on the occasion, said the Centre has been consistently working to promote girls’ education and enhance women’s representation.
Earlier, the chief minister inaugurated the college building, offered prayers at the Anjani Mata temple and interacted with students as part of the initiative to empower and educate women.
