enabling policies and models to attract investment and promote growth in the

Dedicated Freight Corridor, 39% of which will pass through our state, are set
to play a major role in Rajasthan’s infrastructure and industrial development.
What makes Rajasthan a winning proposition is our leadership in skill
development for our youth. Industry will have no dearth of employable manpower
and our youth will have jobs and employment opportunities in all major
sectors.”
