A state-level review meeting was held on Wednesday at the Secretariat via video conference under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary Mr. Sudhansh Pant. Mr. Pant conducted a detailed review of the progress and achievements of rural and urban service camps, Service Fortnight, Rising Rajasthan initiative, construction of chowpatis in districts, Panch Gaurav campaign, and repairs of roads and school buildings, providing necessary guidelines for further action. He reported that, under the urban and rural service camps conducted across the state since September 17, 56% of camps involving activities of 17 departments have already been organized.
The Chief Secretary instructed all divisional commissioners and district collectors to complete all road repairs before Diwali, including roads under rural development, urban local bodies, PWD, and UIT. Emphasizing permanent solutions to waterlogging, he directed that roads in low-lying areas, crossings, and under flyovers be strengthened to alleviate the public from severe waterlogging problems.
He highlighted the Panch Gaurav campaign as one of the Chief Minister’s top priority programs, instructing all districts to make substantial progress under “One District One Product,” meet targets on time, and ensure successful implementation by releasing allocated funds promptly. Pending matters under district MOUs related to chowpati development and the Rising Rajasthan initiative were also to be prioritized. He explained that the meeting was held as a mid-review to assess progress so far, identify activities with low progress, and motivate districts for better performance.
All districts were directed to maximize enrolment under schemes like Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana, Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, Atal Pension Yojana, e-KYC for Jan Dhan accounts, and improve distribution of crop insurance policies. They were also instructed to upload photographs related to camps and Service Fortnight on the ‘Seva Parv’ website to enhance visibility and transparency.
District collectors were instructed to immediately attend any incidents, maintain public trust, regularly conduct planned and surprise inspections, and ensure field presence as a true measure of administrative accountability. They were asked to conduct random inspections of subordinate offices to implement corrective measures effectively.
Mr. Pant further instructed that any pending cases during the camp period must be resolved the same day, even if it requires extended working hours. Districts were also encouraged to publish and digitally share success stories to inform the public and inspire others. The action plan for the Dharti Aaba program is to be uploaded soon on the Government of India portal.
He appreciated Hanumangarh and Ganganagar districts for better performance in the Healthy Women Empowered Family campaign. Barmer district was recognized for its commendable average of resolved sanitation cases per camp, urging other districts to take inspiration. Correcting entries during the camps has provided significant relief to the public. Rajasthan currently leads the nation in financial inclusion saturation camps, and districts are directed to maintain this position until the conclusion of the camps.
Detailed presentations were given by various departments including Planning, Revenue, Urban Development & Housing, Rural Development, Health, Local Self-Government, Education, Industry, Water Resources, Social Justice & Empowerment, Forest, Disaster Management, Energy, Food & Civil Supplies, Animal Husbandry, Panchayati Raj, Agriculture, and Women & Child Development regarding Service Fortnight, rural and urban service camps, Rising Rajasthan, Panch Gaurav campaign, chowpati development, and repair of roads and school buildings.
