In a significant move to honor the achievements of its global community, the Rajasthan government announced it will confer the Pravasi Rajasthani Samman on individuals from the state's diaspora who have made remarkable contributions across various fields.
New Department to Strengthen Diaspora Connections
Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma revealed on Monday that the newly established National and International Pravasi Rajasthani Affairs Department will serve as a strong institutional bridge between the diaspora and the government. This initiative aims to promote Brand Rajasthan on the global stage while facilitating stronger connections with non-resident Rajasthanis worldwide.
The government has designated December 10 as the first-ever Pravasi Rajasthani Diwas, marking a historic occasion to celebrate the achievements and contributions of the Rajasthani diaspora community.
Comprehensive Support System for Diaspora
The state administration is implementing dedicated mechanisms to address diaspora-related concerns effectively. Additional district collectors have been appointed as nodal officers in every district specifically to resolve issues faced by non-resident Rajasthanis.
In a technological advancement, the government has created a special dashboard to map district-level gap areas. This digital platform will enable diaspora members to participate more effectively in philanthropic and developmental initiatives across Rajasthan.
Global Outreach and Mobilization
Addressing representatives from 26 recognized diaspora chapters across the world, Chief Minister Sharma emphasized that the state has revitalized its outreach structure. The government has approved executive bodies for all chapters to ensure organized representation and effective communication.
Sharma urged chapter heads to mobilize non-resident Rajasthanis to actively contribute to Rajasthan's social and economic growth. The comprehensive approach demonstrates the government's commitment to leveraging the potential of its global community for the state's development.
The initiatives announced mark a paradigm shift in how Rajasthan engages with its diaspora community, creating structured pathways for collaboration and recognition of achievements on the world stage.
