Development chariots (Vikas Rath) were deployed across all six विधानसभा constituencies of Kota district on Friday to inform citizens about ongoing development works, key state government schemes, announcements, and achievements. The initiative marks the completion of two years of the state government’s tenure and aims to widely publicize the implementation status of flagship programmes and budget announcements. Through booklets, folders, and audio-visual content, the Vikas Rath is reaching villages and hamlets to disseminate information on government initiatives and accomplishments.
Urban Development and Housing (UDH) Minister Shri Jhabar Singh Kharra reviewed the Vikas Rath in the Kota South constituency near CAD Circle.
