Creation of Senior Agriculture Supervisor (Level-10) posts in the Agriculture Department.
Adoption of UGC amendments for higher education promotions.
Expansion of Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) from 7 to 10 members.
Amendments to allow land allocation for large-scale renewable and green hydrogen projects.
