Jaisalmer/Jaipur | May 12, 2026
The “Night Chaupal” (Village Gathering) and Public Hearing held late Monday night in Ramdevra, Jaisalmer—a land of profound spiritual significance—served as a powerful example of responsive administration and direct public service. Minister for Medical and Health, Mr. Gajendra Singh Khinvsar, and Chairman of the State Finance Commission, Dr. Arun Chaturvedi, sat among the villagers to listen to their concerns with empathy, issuing immediate instructions for time-bound resolutions.
Water and Electricity: Top Priorities Amid Scorching Heat
In light of the intense summer heat in the desert region, the Minister-in-charge prioritized basic utility services:
- Regular Supply: Instructions were given to ensure that regular drinking water and electricity reach even the remotest dhanis (hamlets).
- Action Against Illegal Connections: Strict action was ordered against unauthorized water connections to maintain a smooth supply for all.
- Zero Negligence: The Minister emphasized that any negligence in the distribution of essential services would not be tolerated.
Strengthening Healthcare Infrastructure
Health Minister Mr. Khinvsar announced several key initiatives aimed at bolstering medical services in Western Rajasthan, particularly Jaisalmer:
- 100 New Sub-Centers: To bring healthcare closer to rural and remote populations, 100 new health sub-centers are being established.
- Filling Vacancies: The recruitment of doctors, nursing staff, and pharmacists is being fast-tracked to ensure hospitals are fully staffed.
- HPV Vaccination Campaign: A free vaccination drive is underway for girls aged 14 to 15 to prevent cervical cancer, with the government covering all costs.
Antyodaya and the Gram Rath Campaign
Dr. Arun Chaturvedi, Chairman of the State Finance Commission, stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and CM Bhajanlal Sharma, the government is committed to reaching the “last person in the queue.”
- Gram Rath Campaign: This initiative aims to take information about government schemes directly to the villages so that no eligible person is left behind.
- Farmer Support: Efforts like the Kisan Samman Nidhi were highlighted as historic steps toward making farmers self-reliant through direct financial assistance.
Administrative Commitment
District Collector Anupama Jorwal assured the gathering that all complaints related to water, electricity, roads, and education received during the hearing would be resolved on priority. She also urged the public to ensure their daughters receive the free HPV vaccine and encouraged them to maximize the benefits of the ongoing Gram Rath Campaign.
Conclusion
The Night Chaupal in Ramdevra demonstrates a proactive governance model where leaders engage directly with the grassroots. By focusing on health, infrastructure, and the direct delivery of welfare schemes, the state government aims to drive a wave of positive change in the Jaisalmer region.
