Rajasthan’s youth are energetic and talented; continuous efforts are underway to develop their capacities.
Earning the trust of the general public is the true benchmark of administrative success. — Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma
Probationary officers from various state services share their experiences with the Chief Minister.
Expressed gratitude to the Chief Minister for the continuous conduct of RAS recruitment exams, praising the training of 2 batches within a single year.
Jaipur, October 2026 : Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma interacted with state service probationary officers at OTS on Thursday, giving them the core mantras of good governance and public service. During this, he stated that true success in administrative service is determined by the positive change brought into the life of the common citizen. Every decision made by the administration should always keep the needs and problems of the general public in mind.
The Chief Minister said that one should understand their position not merely as an officer, but as a responsibility of public service. They should remember their struggles and past, draw inspiration from them to work in the interest of the general public, and never change the direction of their purpose, because the real test of life begins after sitting in a position of responsibility.
He stated that the RAS recruitment exam will be conducted every year to ensure the dreams and futures of the youth. He told the probationary officers to consider every person and the entire Rajasthan as their family, connect with the general public with full empathy, and resolve their problems.
Make Public Trust the Greatest Capital of Administration
The Chief Minister said that every person coming to the office comes with some hope. In such a situation, the behaviour, work style, and decisions of the officers can strengthen that person's trust in the administration. He said that character and public trust are the greatest capital of an officer in public service. Therefore, make honesty and impartiality the basis of your work. Appealing to the officers, he said that they should develop a work culture where people do not have to make unnecessary rounds for their work and every person is heard with respect.
He said that officers should go to their work areas, meet people, listen to their problems, and understand local conditions. Public hearings (jansunwai) should not be limited to a mere formal activity, but should be made an effective medium for solving problems.
Ensuring Benefits Reach Eligible Individuals Must Be the Priority
The Chief Minister said that policies and schemes are meaningful only when their benefits reach eligible individuals on time and a real improvement is visible in their lives. For this, officers should have a clear understanding of the eligibility, procedures, and timelines of schemes. He emphasized setting important priorities in the workplace, fixing clear targets, and regularly reviewing their progress.
Utilise Technology to Make Administration Effective
The Chief Minister said that digital platforms, online services, data, and artificial intelligence (AI) are providing new opportunities to make governance and administration more transparent and effective. Young officers should use their technical understanding to simplify administrative processes, save time, and improve the quality of services. He said that it is necessary to reach the benefits of digital services to every citizen. It must be ensured that no person is deprived of government service benefits simply due to an inability to use technology.
Providing Opportunities and Self-Reliance to Youth is the Government's Priority
The Chief Minister said that the youth of Rajasthan are full of energy, talent, and aspirations. They need good education, skill development, employment opportunities, and a favourable environment for entrepreneurship. The state government is continuously working to connect the capacities of the youth with the mainstream of development. In this direction, appointments have been given to 1 lakh 93 thousand posts, while recruitment for 1 lakh 18 thousand posts is under process. Meanwhile, a recruitment calendar has been released for 1.25 lakh posts in the year 2026. He said that our government has also provided better employment opportunities to youth in the private sector.
Play an Active Role in Fulfilling the Resolve of Developed Rajasthan-2047
The Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set a resolve to make India a developed nation by the year 2047. In line with this national resolve, the state government has set the goal of Viksit Rajasthan@2047. There are vast possibilities for development in Rajasthan across numerous sectors, including energy, tourism, agriculture, mining, industry, handicrafts, education, health, and digital services.
He said that the state government is working in the direction of connecting agriculture and agriculture-based industries with modern technology and better markets, promoting tourism in line with historical heritage and rich folk culture, and creating a favourable environment for industries. Along with this, making the services of education, health, skill development, and social security more effective is also essential.
The Chief Minister said that the role of probationary officers is important in achieving these goals. In this direction, they will have to play an active role in implementing policies on the ground, executing development projects, and solving local problems. At the same time, they must also develop the capacity for effective implementation with a long-term vision to realise the resolve of Viksit Rajasthan@2047.
Turn Good Thoughts into Action
The Chief Minister told the probationary officers that honesty, sensitivity, and impartiality in administration are the strongest foundations of public trust. By turning good thoughts into action, they must work together to achieve shared goals. He said that the greatest achievement for officers will be the trust expressed by the common citizen.
He said that the state government has created a roadmap for the development of Rajasthan, under which important agreements were made first in the field of water availability. Under the leadership of the Prime Minister Narendra Modiji, Rajasthan received the gift of 4 water agreements, which include the Ramjal Setu Link Project, Yamuna Water Agreement, Narmada Agreement, and Kishau Multipurpose Project Agreement. The state government is accelerating development works related to these. He said that work is also progressing rapidly on projects like Dewas, Mahi, and Brahmani in the state.
The Chief Minister stated that Rajasthan has become a power-surplus state. Electricity is being provided during the day to farmers in 27 districts, and by the year 2027, daytime electricity supply will reach farmers in all districts. He mentioned that the state government organized the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit, in which MoUs worth 35 lakh crore were signed. Out of these, MoUs worth approximately 9 lakh crore have materialized on the ground. He added that the Pachpadra Refinery has also commenced operations, which will provide employment opportunities to thousands of youths. The construction of 9 Greenfield Express Highways will provide better road connectivity facilities in the state.
Chief Secretary V. Srinivasan said that Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has conveyed the message of nation service through accountability, responsibility, transparency, the sentiment of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, and nation first. By regularly visiting the 181 helpline, the Chief Minister has set an inspiring example of citizen-centric good governance for all of us. He said that under the guidance of the Chief Minister, probationary officers have received inspiration to move forward in the direction of good governance, public service, and administrative excellence.

Just 20 days before the RAS Main Exam-2023, my 10-year-old daughter passed away. Despite getting injured in an accident four days before the exam, I appeared for it and became a Cooperative Inspector through the RAS Recruitment 2023, and have been allotted the Rajasthan Accounts Service in the RAS Recruitment 2024."

- "I come from an ordinary family in western Rajasthan. My father works as a daily wager, and my mother has been struggling with severe health issues for the last 15 years or so. My father borrowed 20,000 rupees from my aunt and sent me to Delhi. I faced continuous failures four times in the UPSC exam, but did not lose heart. I took the RAS exam and achieved success."
— Pramila (CDPO)

The initiation of the second batch of state service officers' training within a single year is a matter of joy."
