Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said that the state is laying the foundation for a ‘New Rajasthan’ in the water sector through transformative initiatives such as the Ramjal Setu Link Project and the Yamuna Water Agreement. He said that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, Rajasthan is poised to emerge as a national model for water management and water self-reliance.
Addressing the Rajasthan Water Conclave organised by The Economic Times in Jaipur, Sharma said the state government had made water security a top priority from the outset of its tenure. He added that several landmark initiatives have since been launched to ensure long-term drinking water availability, expand irrigation, and conserve groundwater.
