Jaipur: Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said that the state government is working with the goal of doubling the state's economy by encouraging investments from both the government and the private sector.

With the combined efforts of all, the dream of "New Rajasthan, Changing Rajasthan, Rising Rajasthan" will come true, he said while addressing the Genpact Global Meet at a private hotel on Thursday.
Congratulating Genpact on completing 20 years of its establishment, he noted that out of about 8,000 people working in Genpact in Jaipur and Jodhpur, more than 90 per cent of the workers are local.

The identification of land for this project has been completed, and the state government is fully cooperating to bring this project to fruition soon. Ease of doing business is a priority for the government and entrepreneurs. The Chief Minister emphasised that the state government is implementing large projects based on ease of doing business.
"We have signed MoUs worth more than Rs 35 lakh crore during the Rising Rajasthan Summit in its first year. The state government has introduced new policies like the Data Center Policy, AVGC-XR Policy, and Rajasthan Investment Promotion to facilitate investors," Sharma said in a statement. Under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme, information technology and related sectors have been designated as thrust sectors to further encourage investment in the state. The government is committed to increasing investment in infrastructure.
