Jodhpur/Jaipur | May 12, 2026

As part of the state government’s Gram Rath Campaign—designed to bring information about public welfare schemes directly to rural areas—the Minister for Education (School/Sanskrit) and Panchayati Raj, Mr. Madan Dilawar, visited Khedapa in the Bawari Panchayat Samiti on Tuesday. During the visit, the Minister, who also serves as the Jodhpur District-in-Charge, engaged in heartfelt dialogues with local residents to address their concerns.

On-the-Spot Grievance Redressal

Minister Dilawar listened intently to the problems raised by the villagers and coordinated with departmental officers to resolve several issues on the spot. He reaffirmed that the state government is fully committed to the effective implementation of welfare schemes and that the Gram Rath Campaign is a vital step toward ensuring transparent governance.

Focus on Drinking Water Solutions

Responding to concerns regarding water scarcity, the Minister-in-Charge immediately consulted with officials from the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED):

• Immediate Action: He directed officials to resolve current water issues without delay.
• A Fundamental Right: The Minister stated that providing clean tap water to every household is a priority and a right of every citizen.
• Summer Monitoring: In view of the rising temperatures, he ordered regular monitoring of the water supply system to prevent any disruptions.

Public Participation in Policy Making

A unique highlight of the event was the Minister’s encouragement for villagers to use the “Suggestion Box.” He emphasized that public participation is essential for effective policy-making. “Suggestions received from the common man are invaluable to the government; they help us refine our schemes and make them more impactful,” Mr. Dilawar remarked.

Awareness Drive for 13 Departments

The Gram Rath Campaign acts as a mobile information hub for 13 key departments, including:

• Agriculture, Horticulture, and Animal Husbandry.
• Cooperative, Irrigation, and Industry.
• Energy, Revenue, Panchayati Raj, and Rural Development.

Through audio-video messages and interactive materials available on the “Raths” (chariots), villagers are being educated on how to access the benefits of various government initiatives.

Directives for Regular Public Hearings

To ensure continued accountability, the Minister instructed officials to organize regular Night Chaupals and public hearings in rural blocks. He noted that transparency is only achieved when representatives and officials go directly to the villages to understand the ground reality.

Conclusion

The public hearing in Khedapa underscores the government’s “doorstep delivery” approach to governance. By combining immediate problem-solving with a platform for long-term policy suggestions, Minister Madan Dilawar’s visit has set a proactive tone for the Gram Rath Campaign in the Jodhpur region.

Grassroots Issues Take Center Stage

• Multi-Departmental Cases: Grievances related to the Medical, Revenue, and Social Welfare departments were also submitted, including matters concerning pensions and land records.

A 15-Day Ultimatum for Officials

Taking a proactive stance against administrative delays, District Collector Akshay Godara set a strict 15-day deadline for officials to resolve all pending cases received during the ‘Ratri Chaupal’ and those listed on the Rajasthan Sampark Portal.

Addressing the gathered officials, he stated:

“The primary goal of the administration is to provide immediate relief to the public. It is the personal responsibility of every departmental officer to ensure that no citizen has to make unnecessary visits to government offices for their legitimate rights.”

• Hemraj Paridwal, Additional District Collector (ADC)
• Lakhan Singh, CEO of Zila Parishad
• Pankaj Badgurjar, Sapotra Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM)
