Jaipur, 25 October. Rajasthan Legislative Assembly Chairman Shri Vasudev Devanani presented a courtesy gift to President Mrs. Droupadi Murmu in Raipur. Chairman Devanani also gave the President a replica of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly’s emblem (logo).

During the meeting with the President, Assembly Chairman Shri Devanani invited her to the nationwide conference of women legislators being held as part of the Assembly’s 75th‑year Amrit Mahotsav. He requested the President to attend the inaugural session as chief guest. He said her presence would inspire the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly to further strengthen its commitment to constitutional ideals.

Shri Devanani told the President that the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly is celebrating its 75th Amrit Mahotsav, marking the rich heritage of parliamentary democracy. As a vibrant and integral part of these celebrations, the Assembly held a ‘Legislative Glory Journey of Former and Current Members’ on 15 July 2026. For the first time in its history, Vice‑President Shri C.P. Radhakrishnan and Lok Sabha Speaker Shri Om Birla attended and addressed the event. The unique initiative was unanimously praised.

Shri Devanani informed the President that, inspired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s visionary plan for women’s empowerment, the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly has decided to organise a special Women Legislators Conference to strengthen women’s role, active participation and leadership in legislative bodies. He said the programme would be highly useful in translating national objectives into meaningful grassroots action and would serve as an excellent platform to discuss women’s contribution to democratic governance.

Shri Devanani urged the President that her presence would boost the morale, enthusiasm and confidence of women legislators across the country, and would also make the conference an unforgettable event.

Assembly Chairman Shri Devanani shared with the President the glorious 75‑year journey of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly and the innovations introduced in the state Assembly over the past two years. He noted that the new Assembly building was inaugurated by the President of India, Shri R. Venkataraman. The Assembly has also been addressed by the nation’s first Prime Minister Shri Jawaharlal Nehru and by Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. President Mrs. Murmu addressed the Assembly on 14 July 2023. Shri Devanani said that the inspirational speech delivered by President Murmu that day is deeply etched in the collective memory of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly and that her messages continue to energise the Assembly.

Shri Devanani informed the President that, for the first time since the Assembly’s formation, all its gates have been named and the Assembly’s emblem (logo) has been released. The logo incorporates the Ashoka emblem, the national flag, the grand Assembly building, the state animal camel, the state bird gadwall, the state tree khejri, along with the Sanskrit motto ‘Rashtraya Dharmanishta Vidhayika’ and a stalk of paddy.
