Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the leadership of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, the state government continues to work on creating employment in rural areas, enhancing livelihoods and developing basic infrastructure, prioritising these areas.

In line with the Prime Minister’s vision, the VB‑G Ram Ji plan is giving new direction to rural India’s future – Chief Minister

Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched the VB‑G Ram Ji initiative to give new direction to rural India’s future. The Prime Minister’s clear view is that villages can only be developed by developing them. Prosperity of farmers, respect for workers and self‑reliance of villages will make India the world’s leading power. This plan is becoming a strong guarantee of rural employment and a strong foundation for Developed India. The plan is establishing new dimensions of water conservation, infrastructure and village development along with employment. The legal guarantee of annual employment has been increased from 100 days to 125 days.

This year (2026‑27), under the plan, women’s participation in employment in Rajasthan has been 10.44 percentage points higher than the national average. Women’s share of total employment days in the state is 72.69%, while the national average is 62.25%. This reflects the active role of rural women in livelihood opportunities.

Average employment per family is 24.29 days

Under the plan, 18.86 lakh families and 21.66 lakh individuals in Rajasthan have obtained employment. The average employment per family in the state is 24.29 days, compared to the national average of 20.02 days. Thus Rajasthan provides an average of 4.27 more days of employment.
