JAIPUR, 27 June 2025: Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on Friday underlined his government’s commitment to transforming the state into a $350 billion economy through technological integration and far-reaching reforms in agriculture, industry, infrastructure, and education.

Addressing a review meeting at his residence, Sharma stressed that the deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in agriculture will revolutionise farm productivity, helping Rajasthan achieve higher growth and food security.

He highlighted that the Centre of Excellence for Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture, announced in the state budget, will be pivotal in addressing sectoral challenges with modern technological solutions.

The Chief Minister instructed officials to broaden agricultural skill training initiatives, aiming to generate more employment opportunities for the state’s youth while enhancing the quality of farming practices.

“World-class skill training will make our youth future-ready and industry-ready,” Sharma stated, adding that an investment-friendly ecosystem supported by proactive policies would further transform Rajasthan’s industrial landscape.

He pointed to recent initiatives such as the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit, new industry-friendly policies, and the Single Window Clearance System as proof of the state’s investor-focused agenda.

In a push to strengthen logistics and reduce costs, Sharma noted the Rajasthan Logistics Policy 2025 has been introduced to improve connectivity and attract industries. The 2025-26 state budget also allocates funds for the development of logistics parks linked to the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), which is expected to enhance Rajasthan’s logistics competitiveness.

During the meeting, presentations were made on the proposed AI-driven Centre of Excellence in Agriculture, Polytechnic Skill Development Centers, and the planned Multi-Modal Logistics Parks.

Senior officials and public representatives attended the session to review progress and plan next steps toward achieving these ambitious goals.
