Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Ajmer in Rajasthan on Saturday to lay the foundation stone and inaugurate multiple development projects worth over Rs 16,680 crore.
He will also address a public gathering during the visit.
The projects cover key sectors including urban development, drinking water supply, road infrastructure, irrigation, energy and industrial development. They are aimed at accelerating Rajasthan’s growth and improving the quality of life for its residents.
In a move focused on preventive healthcare and women’s well-being, the Prime Minister will launch a nationwide Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination campaign for girls aged 14 years and above to prevent cervical cancer. The initiative aims to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer, one of the leading causes of cancer-related illness among women, and is expected to strengthen long-term health outcomes for girls and women across the country.
To improve road connectivity, the Prime Minister will inaugurate several National Highway projects. These include the four-lane Greenfield Expressway from Bandikui to Jaipur, the six-lane access-controlled green highway (Package 7) of the Amritsar-Jamnagar Economic Corridor, and the eight-lane carriageway (Package 14) of the Delhi-Vadodara Access Controlled Greenfield Expressway.
He will also lay the foundation stone for a four-lane elevated road in Jodhpur city and for the Malbamori–Mangrol–Baran State Highway in Baran district.
As part of efforts to provide safe drinking water, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone for four packages of the Nonera Major Drinking Water Project and five packages of the Parwan Akawad Major Drinking Water Project. These projects are expected to ensure reliable water supply across several districts of Rajasthan.
In the renewable energy sector, he will inaugurate key transmission systems aimed at enabling efficient power evacuation from Rajasthan’s Renewable Energy Zones. He will also lay the foundation stone for five 220 kV grid substations, two 400 kV grid substations, and associated transmission lines to strengthen the state’s power infrastructure and support clean energy expansion.
Continuing the focus on employment generation, Prime Minister Modi will distribute over 21,800 appointment letters to newly recruited youth in various government departments and organisations in Rajasthan.
