Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma spent the night of 6-7 May 2026 in Bambori village of Chhoti Sadri tehsil, Pratapgarh district, as part of the state government's Gram Vikas Yatra outreach programme, and on the morning of 7 May 2026 went on a village walk, met elders, youth and women at their homes and chaired a Gram Vikas Chaupal. The Chief Minister said the Gram Vikas Yatra has been designed as a state-wide outreach to identify ground-level issues and strengthen rural self-reliance ahead of the upcoming GRAM (Global Rajasthan Agritech Meet) programme scheduled for May 2026. Under the Yatra, current and former MLAs, MPs and party workers are visiting villages across Rajasthan to understand local challenges and record demands relating to farming, livestock, milk collection, processing units, drinking water, women's self-help groups and rural roads. Speaking later at a Gram Vikas Chaupal in Jazod village of Sikar district on 7 May 2026, Sharma said the state has raised the loan limit under the Lakhpati Didi initiative to Rs 1.5 lakh and reduced the interest rate to 1.5 per cent, while urging rural women to enrol in self-help groups under the Rajivika programme. He also linked the Yatra with the Centre's Pradhan Mantri schemes for women's safety, dignity and economic empowerment, and reaffirmed that integration with cooperative dairy and processing networks would deepen self-reliance.
