New projects like Mega Solar Parks, Green Energy Transmission System, Power Transmission on PPP mode, ways to reduce Transmission and Distribution losses, and to generate 6,500 mw power in next five years would be of great importance for the state's development and prosperity, she underlined.

DMIC's 30 per cent stretch would pass through Rajasthan and it would boost economy through newer industries in the years to come, she claimed.

In medical and health care, the state would embark upon opening up of five medical colleges, and bring a massive scheme to build toilets in rural areas, she further said.
