"The idea of 'Mission 2030' came because we have come to such a situation today where we have progressed a lot. We are to eℱxploit several minerals available here. Crude oil is being explored and a refinery is being set up iಌn Barmer. We are ahead in sectors of education and health," he said.

Around 50 years ago, Gehlot said, famines and water crises were frequent but now, things have changed and the state has progressed.
"What do we not have here in Rajasthan? IIT, IIM and IIIT are there. Medic𝄹al colleges are being set up in every district. We are ahead in education and medical services," he said. The chief minister said, "It is the duty of everyone to dream and that is why we have launched this to dream of Rajasthan's future."
He al🐭so targeted the Centre on the occasion for not giving a national project status to the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP). If the Centre is obstinate, then "I am also determined to complete the ERCP project in the state", Gehlot added. He urged people from all walks of life to give their suggestions for 'Mission 2030'.
