Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has focused on economic development through women’s empowerment and the growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

During a Nari Shakti Sammelan, the Chief Minister highlighted government initiatives such as increased assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana and financial support for self-help groups. He noted that Rs 93 crore in loans and Rs 25 crore in livelihood promotion assistance have been provided to these groups.

In addressing entrepreneurs in Pali, Sharma emphasized that small-scale industries are essential for job creation among youth, women, and rural populations. To support industrial growth, the state government has pledged improved access to land, water, and electricity. Specific water management projects, such as the Ramjal Setu Link and Yamuna Water agreements, were cited as key resources. Additionally, the Chief Minister stated a goal to provide daytime electricity to farmers in all districts by 2027 and encouraged the establishment of processing units utilizing local agricultural products.
