Nationwide HPV Vaccination Campaign Begins

Launching the HPV vaccination drive from Ajmer, the Prime Minister called it a transformative step toward empowering India’s “Nari Shakti.” Emphasizing the importance of women’s health, he noted that a healthy mother strengthens the entire family.

The campaign aims to safeguard mothers and daughters from cervical cancer, reinforcing the government’s broader commitment to women-centric welfare initiatives.

Focus on Women’s Welfare and Dignity

Highlighting the government’s efforts in improving women’s health and dignity, Shri Modi cited mission-mode implementation of toilets, access to sanitary pads, and clean cooking fuel through welfare schemes. He also referred to financial assistance of ₹5,000 provided to pregnant women under safe motherhood initiatives to ensure proper nutrition.

Infrastructure and Investment Momentum

The Prime Minister emphasized that improved road, rail, and air connectivity is reshaping Rajasthan’s economic landscape. Enhanced connectivity between Ajmer and Pushkar is boosting tourism and benefiting local businesses.

He further highlighted opportunities arising from the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, positioning Rajasthan as a growing hub for global investment and industrial expansion.

River Linking and Farmer Welfare

Addressing long-standing farmer concerns, Shri Modi reiterated the government’s commitment to implementing the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP). He stated that interlinking river initiatives, including the modified Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal and Yamuna-Rajasthan link projects, would provide assured water benefits to farmers in districts such as Jhalawar, Baran, Kota, and Bundi.

Solar Power and PM Surya Ghar Scheme

Calling Rajasthan a land blessed with abundant sunlight, the Prime Minister highlighted the impact of the PM Surya Ghar Free Electricity Scheme. Under the scheme, eligible households receive assistance of ₹78,000 for rooftop solar installations.
