Jaipur, August 15, 2026: Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah begins a two-day visit to Rajasthan today, with a major focus on farmer support, employment generation and infrastructure development across the state.
A key highlight of the visit will be the transfer of ₹667 crore to 66.74 lakh farmers under the sixth instalment of the Mukhyamantri Kisan Samman Nidhi. The government will also release around ₹152 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, providing financial support to eligible farmers.
Shah is also scheduled to participate in the state-level Mukhyamantri Rozgar Utsav, where appointment letters will be handed over to 10,548 newly recruited personnel. The programme is expected to underline the government's emphasis on expanding employment opportunities for Rajasthan’s youth.
The minister’s itinerary includes the inauguration and foundation-laying of a large number of development projects. In Nimbahera, Shah will unveil a statue of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and dedicate 944 projects worth ₹5,659 crore spread across 15 districts.
The visit will also take Shah to Alwar, where he is scheduled to address a public gathering and dedicate additional development works valued at around ₹6,453 crore.
With agriculture, jobs, infrastructure and cooperative development featuring prominently on the agenda, Shah’s Rajasthan visit is set to highlight the government’s broader push to strengthen rural incomes while accelerating development across the state.
