RLD to strengthen presence at grassroots level in Rajasthan: Party chief Jayant Chaudhary
'Our aim is to build a strong organisation by reaching every village and town. We will open Jan Sunwai (public hearing) centres in these areas to engage directly with people,' he said. Speaking at a party programme here, Chaudhary said the RLD will continue to fight for the rights of farmers, youngsters and marginalised communities, following the ideals of Chaudhary Charan Singh. Jaipur, Jul 11 (PTI) Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) president Jayant Chaudhary on Friday laid out the party's goal of strengthening its presence at the grassroots level in Rajasthan, with a particular focus on youngsters. The Union minister pointed out that many helpful schemes fail to reach the underprivileged sections of the society. 'The RLD will work to make sure that these schemes reach those who need them the most,' he added. Chaudhary also discussed the BJP-led Centre's agricultural policies and confirmed that the RLD would take an active role in implementing those at the grassroots level. 'Farmers will play a key role in the next state election,' he asserted. The RLD is an ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance. The party's state president, Joginder Singh Awana, said large rallies will be held in each division of Rajasthan and later, at the tehsil level. During his Jaipur visit, Chaudhary, the Union minister of state for skill development and entrepreneurship, also inaugurated a state-of-the-art skill centre at the Chaudhary Charan Singh National Institute of Agricultural Marketing. The new facility has been designed as a specialised centre for practical training in areas such as agri-business management, warehouse operations, value-chain development and digital agriculture. The primary objective of the centre is to empower the next generation of agri-entrepreneurs, cooperatives and marketing professionals by providing them with essential skills and training. Addressing the gathering, Chaudhary highlighted the importance of recognising and empowering the existing workforce. He also honoured certified trainees under the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) programme, which is being implemented in collaboration with the Warehousing Development and Regulatory Authority (WDRA). The minister also planted a sapling at the Agriculture Entrepreneurship Garden. Later in the day, he inaugurated the second phase of the 'Chaudhary Charan Singh Family Forestry Mission' in Nehata gram panchayat in Jaipur Rural. The mission aims to plant 1.25 crore saplings by 2027 and establish 125 'Smriti Vans' across the country. In a single day, more than one lakh saplings were planted across 500 locations in Rajasthan, making it one of the largest community-driven green campaigns in the state. 'This mission is not just about planting trees. It is about connecting Chaudhary Charan Singh's farmer-friendly ideology with climate justice and family responsibility,' the RLD chief said.

Viksit Bharat not defined by Indian economy's ranking; incomes have to increase 8 times: VP Jagdeep Dhankhar
Viksit Bharat or a developed India would not be defined by the rank the Indian economy holds, but an eightfold increase in incomes is required to make it a reality, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar said Thursday. Speaking to the media after paying tribute to late former prime minister Chaudhary Charan Singh on his death anniversary at his memorial, Kisan Ghat, Dhankhar said: 'Today, it is necessary that when we talk about Viksit Bharat, it does not mean the rank at which our economy is. To define Viksit Bharat and make it a ground reality, each person's income has to be increased by eight times. This will happen, but farmers will have to be farsighted'. The Vice-President added that farmers today were limited to production, but should now become involved with trades based on agriculture and animal husbandry. He said the food processing industry was dependent on agricultural production. He said farmers should work on the value addition of agricultural products. He recalled the contribution of Chaudhary Charan Singh towards farmers. The V-P's comments come just days after NITI Aayog CEO B V R Subrahmanyam said India was the fourth-largest economy in the world, with International Monetary Fund (IMF) data showing it as a $4 trillion economy, behind the United States, China, and Germany. Reacting to the V-P's statement, Congress general secretary in charge of communications and Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh said on X that Dhankhar's 'wise words on Viksit Bharat are very timely and appropriate'. 'He should be listened to seriously by those throwing out slogans and filmi dialogues thinking that theatrics is governance. Sadly, he continues to be ignored when he raises concerns of farmers – which he himself is,' Ramesh added.
