‘Pravasi Rajasthani Divas’ will be celebrated every year on December 10, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma announced on Tuesday.
Also, a separate department will be created to help Rajasthanis, Sharma said while addressing the ‘Pravasi Rajasthani’ conference at the ongoing Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit here.
“The hard work, diligence and dedication of migrant Rajasthanis, both in the country and abroad, has made Rajasthan proud. Keeping in mind the interests of the migrant Rajasthanis, the state government has decided to create a special department for them,” the chief minister said.
“If the families of migrant Rajasthanis face any problem, a ‘single contact’ will be made in all districts to solve their problems,” he said.
“Along with this, December 10 will be celebrated as Pravasi Rajasthani Divas every year,” he added.
Sharma also said that initially, the state government has decided to award ‘Pravasi Rajasthani Samman’ to prominent people from the state living abroad.
