Health sessions will include experts such as the Director of the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences and the CFO of Tata 1MG. Industry sessions will involve Welspun India Ltd. and Borosil Renewables Ltd., while the water session will feature organisations like Ecolab India and the National Institute of Urban Affairs.
The Chief Minister directed officials to finalise the list of invited speakers and participants for these sessions.

Showcasing Rajasthan’s Heritage and Development Journey

Shri Sharma said that the event will also present Rajasthan’s rich heritage alongside the state’s development journey. Exhibitions will highlight Rajasthan’s progress, innovations, and achievements. He instructed that all arrangements be completed with high quality and within the timeline.
He also directed that cultural programmes emphasise the state’s folk art and culture, and that the selection process for the Pravasi Rajasthani Samman Awards be transparent, fair, and aligned with predefined criteria.

The CM stressed timely implementation of plans related to security, traffic, parking, reception, and protocol for the event at JECC, Jaipur. Responsibilities for hospitality, transportation, accommodation, medical, and emergency services should be clearly assigned.
