Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy CM Devda emphasized the government’s commitment to providing healthcare and essential services to citizens.

He also highlighted the government’s efforts to connect every village with all-weather roads and ensure every farm has access to irrigation through micro-irrigation projects.
“Soon, every field will have irrigation, and every household will have clean drinking water through household taps,” Devda added.
The government’s support for farmers continues through schemes such as Kisan Samman Nidhi, interest-free loans, PM Awas Yojana, and gas connections.
Devda reiterated that the government has designed comprehensive welfare programs benefiting citizens from birth to death.
Echoing Devda’s remarks, Rajya Sabha MP Banshilal Gurjar emphasized the government’s progress in infrastructure development, particularly in connecting villages with roads.
He also praised the ongoing efforts under the micro-irrigation projects and the Jal Jeevan Mission, ensuring water availability in every field and tap water in every household.
