Jaipur, February 22 Calling the denotified, nomadic, and semi-nomadic communities an integral part of Indian civilization, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said on Sunday that the state government is committed to their welfare and empowerment.
Addressing a state-level conference of officers, employees, and intellectuals from these communities at Ambabari here, Sharma said the government has taken concrete steps for their upliftment, including the distribution of residential land deeds and hostel facilities for the children of nomadic families.
The chief minister emphasized that nomadic communities have played a significant role in preserving Indian culture and traditions and urged the youth from the community to contribute to the state's development.
He announced that under the 2026-27 budget, the 'Raj Pahal' program has been launched to strengthen education for children from nomadic communities.
"In the first phase, one 'School on Wheels' will be set up in each district. This initiative will prove to be a milestone in the field of education," he said.
Temporary education camps will also be organized in areas affected by migration, and six-month school readiness camps will be conducted to ensure that children deprived of regular schooling due to migration are brought into the mainstream, he added.
