Soon the petroleum refinery at Barmer will become operative and Rajasthan will be among the most developed states. As the quality of oil produced from the refinery is highly satisfactory, olive farming would benefit the farmers in monetary terms.”  The current production of Olives, which have immense benefits for health, in the state is around 100-110 tonnes annually and expected to grow, the minister said, while adding efforts will also be made to spread awareness about the benefits of the fruit and its oil.
The Vasundhara Raje government, in its earlier term in 2007, had commenced the Olive cultivation project by taking assistance from Israel and planted 1.12 lakh saplings in 7 agro-climatic zones which have started bearing fruit with rich contents. "The project has been very successful and the fruiting is rich with nearly 15 per cent contents. There is huge potential to increase the area under cultivation in Rajasthan, which is two-and-a-half times larger than Greece, the world's third largest producer of olives.

After paying tributes at the memorials of Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri on their birth anniversaries, Modi himself swept a pavement at Valmiki Basti, a colony of sanitation workers here, before the formal launch of the 'Clean India' drive at Rajpath. While launching the mission at Mandir Marg here, he also made a surprise visit at the local police station to check on cleanliness. Accompanied by officials, the Prime Minister collected the garbage and put it in a bin. He later interacted with the children there.
"I bow to Mahatma Gandhi on his birth anniversary.... Gandhi ji's thoughts and beliefs remain a great inspiration for us. Let us dedicate ourselves to building the India of Gandhi ji's dreams," he said in a series of tweets. He also recalled Shastri's famous 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan' slogan.

PM Narendra Modi launches "Make in India" campaign

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched his pet “Make in India” campaign to put India prominently on the global manufacturing map and, in turn, facilitate the inflow of new technology and capital, while creating millions of jobs. Addressing a gathering consisting of top global CEOs at the event in Vigyan Bhawan in the capital, the Prime Minister said "FDI" should be understood as "First Develop India" along with "Foreign Direct Investment." He urged investors not to look at India merely as a market, but instead see it as an opportunity. The Prime Minister said it is important for the purchasing power of the common man to increase, as this would further boost demand, and hence spur development, in addition to benefiting investors. The faster people are pulled out of poverty and brought into the middle class, the more opportunity will there be for global business, the Prime Minister said. Therefore, he said, investors from abroad need to create jobs. Cost effective manufacturing and a handsome buyer - one who has purchasing power - are both required, the Prime Minister said. More employment means more purchasing power, he added.

The Prime Minister said that India is the only country in the world which offers the unique combination of democracy, demography, and demand. He said the new Government was taking initiatives for skill development to ensure that skilled manpower was available for manufacturing. He also referred to the Digital India mission, saying this would ensure that Government processes remained in tune with corporate processes. The Prime Minister said he had felt a mood of gloom among India's business community in the last few years, due to lack of clarity on policy issues. He said he had heard even Indian businessmen say that they would leave India and set up business elsewhere. The Prime Minister said this hurt him, and added that no Indian business should feel a compulsion to leave the country under any circumstances. He said on the basis of the experience of the last few months, he could say that the gloom has lifted. The Prime Minister gave the example of the new Government's initiative on self-certification of documents, and said this was illustrative of how the new Government trusted the citizens. The Prime Minister said trust is essential for investors to feel secure. Let us begin with trust; if there is an issue, Government can intervene, he said. The Prime Minister said trust too can be a transformative force.
Shri Narendra Modi said development and growth-oriented employment is the government's responsibility. The Prime Minister noted that India ranks low on the "ease of doing business" and added that he has sensitized Government officials in this regard. He also emphasized the need for "effective" governance. To the expression "Look East," the Prime Minister added "Link West", and said a global vision was essential. He said Mission Swachh Bharat and "waste to wealth" could lead to good revenue models for business as well. He referred to his vision of waste water management and solid waste management in 500 towns across India through public private partnership. The Prime Minister also spoke of infrastructure of the future – including i-ways besides highways – and mentioned port led development, optical fibre networks, gas grids and water grids. The Prime Minister also unveiled the Make in India logo, and launched the website makeinindia.com

Kalyan Singh sworn-in as 20th Governor of Rajasthan

Former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Kalyan Singh was on Thursday sworn-in as the 20th Governor of Rajasthan. Chief Justice of Rajasthan High Court Sunil Ambwani administered the oath of office to Mr. Singh at a ceremony held at Raj Bhawan in Jaipur. Before that, Chief Secretary Rajiv Mehirshi read out the warrant of appointment issued by the President. Assembly Speaker Kailash Meghwal, Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and senior officers were present on the occasion.  Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik was holding the additional charge of Rajasthan before the appointment of Kalyan Singh. Mr. Naik was given the additional charge of Rajasthan after Margaret Alva completed her term on August 5.  

 Enthusiast party workers shouted slogans 'Jai Shri Ram' and 'Vande Mataram' when Singh was taking the oath. He was also given a guard of honour. Singh had been the face of BJP’s Ram Mandir campaign back in the 80’s and 90’s. The ‘Jai Shri Ram’ slogan also picked up its political connotation back then. A Governor’s post is a constitutional office, and the shouting of the slogan at the swearing in of a Governor was condemned by the Congress. Kalyan said that there’s no harm in such kind of chanting as it’s a matter of their faith and love.
