The Viksit Rajasthan @2047 vision aims to realise Gram Swaraj by strengthening decentralised governance for holistic rural transformation.
Core Vision: By 2047, decentralised institutions will function as vibrant democratic systems to drive rural development through empowerment of communities, inclusive infrastructure, livelihood security, water & sanitation, and environmental hygiene for achieving Gram Swaraj.
Six Key Thrust Areas:
- Inclusive & Accessible Rural Infrastructure
- Efficient Decentralised Governance
- Livelihood Security & Income Augmentation
- Empowering Rural Communities
- Safely Managed & Climate Resilient Water & Sanitation
- Partnerships for Rural Transformation
Mid-Term & Long-Term Action Plan:
- Mid-Term (by 2030–2035): Functional Panchayat Bhawans in all GPs, 100% access to healthcare, education & sanitation, digital literacy centres, women hostels, and One Gram One Product (OGOP) initiative.
- Long-Term (by 2040–2047): 100% rural MSMEs, zero-waste villages, smart villages, 100% functional Har Ghar Jal & sanitation, and full economic diversification through agro-processing, rural tourism and skill development.
- The vision focuses on shifting from welfare to empowerment. Through the convergence of MGNREGS, PMAY, SBM, RGSA and other schemes, Rajasthan aims to build self-reliant, prosperous and sustainable villages under Gram Swaraj by 2047.
Viksit Rajasthan @2047: The Long-Run Vision
“By 2047, Rajasthan will emerge as a leading state of New India-marked by inclusive growth, empowered citizens, world-class infrastructure, sustainable development and transparent governance, rooted in its rich cultural heritage and driven by the pioneering spirit of the people of the Rajasthan.”
The vision is organised into four interconnected themes encompassing 13 sectoral areas.
| Themes | Sectoral Pillars | Key Constraints |
| Theme A: Nurturing People, Strengthening Society | Transforming Agri-Food Systems | * Sectoral-employment mismatch: agriculture contributes only ~25% of GSVA but employs 55%+ of workforce, trapping labour in low-productivity activity; * climate vulnerability disproportionately hits small farmers, pastoralists, and tribal communities. |
| Health & Well-Being | * IMR at 30/1000 vs national 24/1000; child wasting rose to 19.8% and underweight to 33.3% (NFHS-6) — worse than national trend; * full immunisation coverage declined to 75% vs national ~87%; low birth weight causes ~30% of infant deaths. | |
| Education & Knowledge Economy | * Literacy at 66.1% (Census 2011) vs national 73%; HDI at ~0.692 (~23rd rank, 2023); female literacy lagging; * low share of regular salaried jobs indicates weak skill-to-market linkage. | |
| Social Empowerment & Inclusion | * Child sex ratio 888 vs overall 928 signals persistent son-preference; * female unemployment worsened from 3.2% to 4.5% despite rising female LFPR (50.5%→54.1%); * women’s representation in local governance remains limited despite 88% financial inclusion. | |
| Theme B: Accelerating Growth, Building Prosperity & Employability | Industrial, Mining & Economic Growth | * Top 5 districts (Jaipur, Alwar, Jodhpur, Bhilwara, Ajmer) account for ~37% of GSDP; * PCI ₹2,02,349 still ~8% below national ₹2,19,575; * PCI rank stuck in 20th–23rd range for over three decades despite GSDP being 7th; low share of regular salaried jobs vs national average. |
| Tourism & Cultural Development | * Regional concentration of tourism-linked services in Jaipur–Udaipur–Jaisalmer belt; * lagging districts (Banswara, Dungarpur, Baran, Karauli) receive limited tourism-led income and employment. | |
| Theme C: Future-Ready Rajasthan – Infrastructure & Sustainability | Core Infrastructure | * Last-mile road and digital infrastructure in remote and tribal areas remains inadequate, limiting economic opportunities for marginalised communities; * meaningful digital usage remains low among rural women and the elderly despite doubling of internet access. |
| Water Security & Resilience | * Being predominantly arid/semi-arid, Rajasthan faces high climate risks (droughts, water scarcity) that disproportionately affect small and marginal farmers, pastoralists, and tribal communities in western districts. | |
| Environmental Sustainability & Climate Resilience | * Over 85% of utility-scale solar and wind projects are concentrated in just 4 districts (Barmer, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur), leaving other arid regions without green jobs or land-lease income; * climate adaptation gap for vulnerable groups. | |
| Theme D: The Enablers – Policy, Finance & Governance | Rural Development | * Rural Gini coefficient rose from 0.248 (2011-12) to 0.283 (2022-23) — against national decline from 0.283 to 0.266; * rural-urban divide persists in income, healthcare, education, and infrastructure access. |
| Urban Development | * Economic activity concentrated in Jaipur–Alwar–Jodhpur corridor; * arid and tribal districts (Barmer, Jaisalmer, Banswara, Dungarpur) continue to lag; only 3 cities have >1 million population. | |
| Effective Governance & Public Services | * MGNREGA and PM-KISAN suffer from local-level leakages and exclusion of migrants; * women’s representation in local governance, entrepreneurship, and formal decision-making remains limited; * marginal entrepreneurs face credit and market-access gaps | |
| Fiscal Management & Economic Policy | * Sharp inter-district GDDP gap — Jaipur ₹2,12,335 crore vs Jaisalmer ₹17,903 crore (~12× gap); * Rajasthan SDG Index score 60.80 with wide district gap (Jhunjhunu 67.13 vs Jaisalmer 51.82); * fiscal support inadequate to bridge structural imbalances. |
