Why is Rajasthan special for investment?
PM Modi said that India aims to produce 500 gigawatts of renewable energy by the end of this decade. Rajasthan is playing a significant role in this. Many solar power plants are being built in the state. Rajasthan connects Delhi and Mumbai, two major economic centres. The Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor’s 250 km stretch passes through Rajasthan, which will benefit all districts. The Dedicated Freight Corridor’s 300 km stretch passes through Jaipur, Ajmer, Sikar, Nagaur, and Alwar districts. With such massive connectivity projects, Rajasthan is an ideal place for investment. The state has immense possibilities for logistics centres. We are developing a multi-modal logistics park here, and nearly two dozen sector-specific industrial parks are being built, making it easy to set up industries in Rajasthan.
Rajasthan is a major centre of India’s tourism
PM Modi said that Rajasthan is a major centre of India’s tourism map. The state has history and heritage. Rajasthan is one of the select places in the world where people want to come to make their life’s moments memorable. Rajasthan also has a huge scope for wildlife tourism. The state has many places like Ranthambore, Sariska, Mukundara Hills, and Keoladeo, which are a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts.
