In the two-day 'Chintan Shivir', Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot will review the implementation of budget announcements and performance of all departments
A two-day 'Chintan Shivir' of the Rajasthan government began here on Monday for the review of the performance of all the departments.
The shivir began with a meeting of the council of ministers chaired by chief minister Ashok Gehlot at the Harish Chandra Mathur Rajasthan Institute of Public Administration (HCM RIPA) in Jaipur.
Chief secretary Usha Sharma gave a brief in the meeting.
"The Chief Secretary informed that Rajasthan has become a model state in the health sector. Remarkable progress has also been seen in the education sector," official sources said.
She said that in the last four years, financial approvals for 94 per cent of announcements have been issued.
The CS said that in the health sector, 75 per cent budget announcements of the last four year have been completed and work on the remaining announcements is going on.
In the two-day 'Chintan Shivir', Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot will review the implementation of budget announcements and performance of all departments.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
