With two weeks to go for Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit, state government is gearing up for the preparations.
Top officers including Ajitabh Sharma, Pravin Gupta, Rajesh Kumar Yadav and Vaibhav Galriya are burning mid night oil to put up a great show, which will bring Rajasthan on top of the investigation destinations.
While Ajitabh Sharma, principal secretary industries has been entrusted with task of coordinating with all departments, Pravin Gupta, principal secretary PWD, Rajesh Kumar Yadav, principal secretary LSG and Vaibhav Galriya, principal secretary UDH, has been given responsibilities for decking up and giving Jaipur a facelift.
“Delegates from as many as 26 countries are slated to participate in this summit. Apart from that business tycoons and investors from all parts of the country will fly down to Pink City. In such scenario Jaipur should emerge as an international city. It should reflect the objectives of state government, which wants Rajasthan to be the dream destination for investment and infrastructure development,” said a senior IAS officer.
Rohit Gupta, commissioner of BIP, which is the nodal agency for Rising Rajasthan, is giving final touches to the preparations.
Anandhi, Jaipur Development Authority (JDA), is also busy giving facelift to roads of the city. She is ensuring that no patch is left unattended and all major arterial roads are well metalled.
Rukmani Riar, Nagar Nigam Greater commissioner is also monitoring the preparations closely. She has been made responsible for ensuring cleanliness and lighting up the street lights of Jaipur. Apart from that she is also busy in enhancing beauty of streets and roads.
Then the onus of maintaining heritage looks of this historical city inside the walled city area is on Jaipur Heritage commissioner Arun Kumar Hasija. He is busy removing overhead cables and poles in the walled city area to have a cleaner look.
The three day-summit will be a litmus test for Rajasthan bureaucrats, who all have been involved to make Summit a big success.
