Jaipur, Oct 2025 : Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, significant steps taken for the welfare of women, youth, laborers, and farmers are rapidly realizing the vision of Antyodaya—bringing quality services to the most marginalized sections. From education to healthcare, availability of high-quality services and facilities is providing relief even to individuals in villages, hamlets, and small towns.

Guided by CM Sharma, the state is moving swiftly towards the goal of “Niramay Rajasthan”. The Chief Minister Ayushman Arogya Yojana is playing a key role, ensuring medical treatment for the needy and underprivileged.

For women’s empowerment, schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana and subsidized LPG cylinders for BPL families at ₹450 are being extended through the Chief Minister LPG Subsidy Scheme, benefiting an additional 67.97 lakh households under the National Food Security Scheme. Since September 2024, ₹558 crore has been disbursed as subsidies.

Under the Shri Annapurna Kitchens, coarse grains like millet and sorghum have been included in meals. Meal portions increased from 450g to 600g, and state subsidies raised from ₹17 to ₹22 per plate. So far, 4.3 crore rural meals and 8.87 crore urban meals have been served.
