Rajasthan anticipates becoming a USD 350 billion economy, fueled by significant investment initiatives worth ₹35 lakh crore. In a NITI Aayog meeting, CM Bhajan Lal Sharma outlined the state's ambitious growth strategies, including a focus on its youth and modern industrial developments, driving towards 'Vibrant Rajasthan-2047'.

Rajasthan is on track to achieve a USD 350 billion economy, thanks to investments worth ₹35 lakh crore, with substantial proposals already past the ground-breaking stage, according to NITI Aayog on Thursday. Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma emphasized Rajasthan's ambitious role in the 'Viksit Bharat-2047' vision during the 11th NITI Aayog Governing Council meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The state is leveraging its youthful demographic, comprising 63% of the population, as a core development engine. With groundbreaking ceremonies completed for over ₹9 lakh crore in projects and the inauguration of a 9 MMTA refinery, Rajasthan is set for a transformative industrial journey. The roadmap for 'Vibrant Rajasthan-2047' was a focal point of Sharma's discussion in the meeting.

Aiming to reach a USD 350 billion economy by 2029, Rajasthan's current GSDP growth rate sits at an encouraging 10.24%. The 'MY Bharat' campaign's traction is evident, with 18 lakh youths engaged, positioning the state second nationally. Policy frameworks like Rajasthan's Skill, Youth, and Employment Policies aid in fostering local employment, enhanced by cooperatives, dairy development, and the One District-One Product initiative.
