On this day Modi will inaugurate the Rising Rajasthan Global Summit at Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre. He will also address the inaugural session. The state government is organizing a three-day summit with the aim of increasing investment in the state. PM’s second visit will be on December 17. In this, Modi will lay the foundation stone of the state government’s ambitious scheme ‘Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project’ (PKC-ERCP). PM Modi’s program for Rajasthan has been made after about 7 months. Earlier in the Lok Sabha elections, Modi had addressed a public meeting in Tonk on 23 April.

Will lay the foundation stone of PKC-ERCP
At the same time, on December 17, PM Modi will hold a public meeting in Dadiya, Sanganer. On this occasion, Modi will lay the foundation stone of PKC-ERCP. This project will provide drinking and irrigation water to 21 districts of the state. Most of the districts in this project are from Eastern Rajasthan. In the Assembly elections-2023, Congress had raised the issue of declaring ERCP as a national project. The then Gehlot government had also made a provision of a budget of about Rs 9 thousand crore for ERCP. As soon as the government changed in the state, CM Bhajanlal Sharma signed an MoU regarding this project with Madhya Pradesh under the mediation of the Jal Shakti Ministry. Even before the assembly by-elections, the government wanted PM Modi to lay the foundation stone of the project. This could not happen due to the code of conduct.
What is ERCP?
The blueprint of the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project was prepared in the year 2017 during the second term of former Chief Minister of the state Vasundhara Raje.
