Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah inaugurated investment projects worth Rs 40,000 billion and a state-level exhibition on India’s new criminal laws in Jaipur. He also launched several development projects of the Rajasthan government in the presence of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma and senior officials.

Shah described the three new criminal laws as the biggest reform of the 21st century, aimed at shifting focus from punishment to justice. He said that in Rajasthan, the conviction rate has risen from 42 to 60 per cent and is expected to touch 90 per cent once the laws are fully implemented.

He praised the Bhajan Lal government for executing Rs 70, 000 billion worth of MoUs from the Rs 350,000 billion signed, generating large-scale employment opportunities. Shah also highlighted welfare measures including Rs 2,400 million DBT transfers for 40 lakh students and subsidies for milk producers.

Appealing to farmers to boost pulses and oilseed output, he announced that the Centre will procure 100 per cent of registered produce through NAFED and NCCF at MSP, strengthening India’s self-reliance in food security.
