Rajasthan Employment Push: 1.93 Lakh Government Jobs Given Says CM Bhajanlal Sharma

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has said that 1.93 lakh young people have received government appointments in the state through transparent recruitment, with hiring for 1.18 lakh more posts already underway and the process for over 70,000 additional posts set to begin soon. He shared the figures while addressing a Run for Unity event in Jaipur on 31 October, held to mark the 151st birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Union Minister Pralhad Joshi and the Chief Minister flagged off the Run for Unity in Jaipur, where Sharma used the occasion to set out his government’s record on youth employment. He said 410 examinations had been conducted transparently, leading to government jobs for 1.93 lakh youth, and pointed to the state’s Youth Policy, the new Employment Policy and the State Skill Policy as the framework behind the push. The policies are presented by the state government as an expression of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s emphasis on youth power and of the BJP’s double-engine model, with the Centre and the state moving in the same direction. Beyond government jobs, Sharma said around five lakh young people in Rajasthan have secured employment in the private sector, while approximately 3.70 lakh have received skill training. Under the Yuva Sambal Yojana, financial assistance of Rs 1,643 crore has been distributed among four lakh beneficiaries, giving unemployed youth direct support while they prepare for work. The Chief Minister also highlighted initiatives such as My Bharat, Startup India and the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana, saying they are turning young people from job seekers into job creators. Sports and fitness formed the other half of the message. The state has launched the One District-One Sport initiative and a Sports Life Insurance Scheme, and Mission Olympics 2028 aims to give athletes world-class facilities and prepare them for the Olympic Games. Sharma said the government is focused on quality education, transparent recruitment, modern sports facilities and better skill development, so that talent from even remote villages can reach national and international platforms. For Rajasthan’s youth, the figures add up to a clear signal: recruitment is moving at scale, a large pipeline of posts is already in motion, and the next round of hiring is close behind. The Chief Minister’s message at the Jaipur event was that the state’s young population is its greatest strength, and that the government’s job is to turn that strength into secure employment.
