All in all, it was an eventful day for farmers who explored profitable sources of living, alternate crops to boost income, saw live performance by celebrity animals, Bollywood actress Hema Malini and enjoyed a delicious meal with CM at public eateries.

This time it was not a high-end, sophisticated investor’s meet like ‘Resurgent Rajasthan’, but simple yet powerful ‘GRAM’ by ‘Rani of Reforms’ that cast a spell on enthralled villagers of Rajasthan. When these farmers return home with enthusiasm and confidence, they’ll spread the message of ‘agricultural innovation’ to more people. In short, the story of development would reach every household, which was the foremost objective of Raje’s GRAM.
