In a major employment push, the Prime Minister will distribute appointment letters to 15,000 recruits for various government positions, including animal attendants, junior assistants, engineers, instructors, and teachers.
Additionally, he will flag off three new trains via video conferencing: the Bikaner–Delhi Cantt Vande Bharat Express, Jodhpur–Delhi Cantt Vande Bharat Express, and Udaipur City–Chandigarh Express.
The visit, Modi’s 16th to Rajasthan since 2014, will also feature interactions with beneficiaries of the Kusum Yojana, reflecting the government’s focus on clean energy and rural empowerment.
