Speaking to an array of business leaders, Raje mentioned how public-private partnerships were successfully working in the State in several sectors such as roads, energy, healthcare, education, water and food security. She also talked about her government's policy to promote private investments in healthcare facilities, and that the State was looking at investments over Rs.20 billion in this sector alone.
The Rajasthan Pavilion at the festival showcased the two facets of the State, Tourism and Investment. On one hand, it talked about the unparalleled wealth of tourism assets that Rajasthan possesses, thus, being the biggest tourist destination in the country. On the other hand, it enumerated the vast investment opportunities in the State, supported by a well-developed infrastructure.
Indian Festival 2007 in Dubai is a first-of-its-kind event organised by Rajasthan's leading newspaper Rajasthan Patrika, which provided a platform for showcasing the best of goods and services produced in India.
