Rajasthan is preparing to present five priority areas at the sixth National Conference of Chief Secretaries, proposed for December 2026. A meeting at the Secretariat in Jaipur on September 29 reviewed the state's preparations and discussed finalising its five primary objectives for the conference's first regular session.
Chief Secretary V. Srinivas chaired the review and asked departments to coordinate their work, meet preparation deadlines and have the required information and presentations ready on time.
Five areas shape Rajasthan's preparations
The discussion covered five areas aligned with NITI Aayog's proposed Viksit Bharat@2047 framework:
- Renewable and clean energy
- Tourism
- Climate-resilient agriculture
- Industrial development
- Horticulture-led agricultural development
Officials examined Rajasthan's achievements, opportunities and future action plans in these sectors. The review was part of preparing the state's conference contribution; no new sector-specific funding allocations or project launches were announced at the meeting.
Departments asked to coordinate submissions
Srinivas called for a coordinated effort to ensure Rajasthan participates effectively in the national conference. He asked departments to submit information and suggestions on their respective subjects within the prescribed timelines.
Departments were also directed to draw on the experience of last year's conference and the guidance received there while preparing this year's material. Administrative secretaries and senior officials from across departments attended the Jaipur review.
For Jaipur readers, the meeting offers an early view of the priorities being developed at the state Secretariat. Tourism, clean energy and industrial development sit alongside two distinct agricultural priorities, giving the preparations both urban and rural relevance. Specific local projects or benefits were not identified at this stage.
Mining, infrastructure and technology on proposed agenda
Satyendra Kumar, chief executive officer of the Rajasthan Institute for Transformation and Innovation, outlined the proposed conference format. Alongside state priorities for Viksit Bharat@2047, planned discussions include the role of mining in strengthening state finances, accelerating linear infrastructure projects and using technology in governance.
Additional sessions on other subjects are also proposed. The immediate task for Rajasthan's departments is to prepare the information, suggestions and presentations needed for the conference. Exact conference dates and department-level submission deadlines were not specified in the meeting details.
