Jaipur, Dec 6 (NationPress) The final preparations for the forthcoming Pravasi Rajasthani Divas, initiated by Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, are nearing completion, as confirmed by government officials on Saturday.

With the event set for December 10, efforts are being made across Jaipur to enhance greenery, implement decorations, and conduct cleanliness drives.

Rajasthan is excited to host its guests, with a significant turnout expected from Non-Resident Rajasthanis and industrialists both from India and abroad. Over 8,700 individuals have already registered for this momentous occasion.

State Chief Secretary V. Srinivas, along with Shikhar Agarwal, the State Additional Chief Secretary for the Industries and Commerce Department, assessed the arrangements at the Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre located in Sitapura.

During their inspection, they evaluated the main ceremony area, halls earmarked for sectoral sessions, and the 'Progress Path' showcasing the accomplishments of the state government.

The Chief Secretary instructed officials to finalize all outstanding tasks within the next 48 hours.

He stated that the organization of this historic event aligns with the Chief Minister's vision.

Continuously monitoring the progress, the Chief Minister is also reaching out to Non-Resident Rajasthanis to extend personal invitations.

Shikhar Agarwal emphasized that the primary goal of the event is to reconnect Non-Resident Rajasthanis with their origins and encourage their involvement in the state's growth.

A new policy has also been introduced to tackle challenges encountered during this process.

Suresh Kumar Ola, Commissioner of the Bureau of Investment Promotion (BIP), mentioned that under the Chief Minister's guidance, the venue has been designed to reflect Rajasthan's cultural heritage, ensuring that Non-Resident Rajasthanis feel a sense of belonging and take home cherished memories.

Considering that attendees might wish to explore Jaipur's tourist attractions, extensive arrangements have been established.

The State Archaeology and Museum Department has designated nodal officers at protected sites for visitors' convenience in Rajasthan.

Additionally, the State Forest Department has assigned nodal officers to provide information on forest and wildlife tourism areas in Rajasthan.

During the Pravasi Rajasthani Conclave at last year's Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit, Chief Minister Sharma announced that December 10 would be celebrated annually as Pravasi Rajasthani Divas.

Continuing this initiative, the inaugural Pravasi Rajasthani Divas is taking place on December 10.

This event is designed to unite the Rajasthani diaspora and fortify their connections to their roots.

Participating in the visit were Anandi, Jaipur Development Authority Commissioner; Shivangi Swarnkar, Managing Director of the Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation (RIICO); Manisha Arora, Commissioner of the Rajasthan Foundation; Gaurav Saini, Commissioner of the Jaipur Municipal Corporation; and Jugal Kishore Meena, Additional Commissioner of BIP, along with other senior officials.
