Jaipur — Education and Panchayati Raj Minister Shri Madan Dilawar stated that Rajasthan Marudhara Gramin Bank (RMGB) and Rajeevika are playing a pivotal role in empowering women from Self Help Groups (SHGs) in the remote desert district of Jaisalmer. Speaking at a large-scale loan distribution event, he acknowledged the participation of over 700 women from SHGs across rural regions, who had taken loans to start their own enterprises and achieve self-reliance.

In his address, Shri Dilawar praised RMGB for its efforts in effectively implementing government welfare schemes at the grassroots. He encouraged beneficiaries to make full use of central and state schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana and Lakhpati Didi Yojana. Emphasizing cleanliness under the Swachh Bharat Mission, he urged every village panchayat in the district to maintain hygiene and pledged to make the district plastic-free. He highlighted the government’s provision of monthly funds for cleanliness in each panchayat and directed officials to ensure these funds are used efficiently, warning of strict action against negligence.

The loan distribution ceremony, organized jointly by RMGB and Rajeevika, was held in Jaisalmer with Minister Dilawar as the chief guest. During the event, cheques amounting to over ₹13 crore were distributed to women beneficiaries from 1,786 SHGs. The event was also attended by District Council CEO Smt. Rashmi Rani, RMGB General Manager Shri Dhirendra Jeengar, and several public representatives and social workers.
