The Rajasthan Day celebrations, held from March 25 to March 31, were a week-long tribute to the state’s rich heritage, remarkable progress, and future aspirations.

The initiatives launched during this week ensure that every section of society, especially the marginalized, experiences sustainable development.”
The week’s activities were marked by a series of state-wide programs, including the Women’s Conference in Barmer, a farmers’ conference in Bikaner, and a youth and employment festival in Kota. On March 30, the grand cultural program in Jaipur showcased Rajasthan’s rich artistic heritage.
