Enjoying Rajasthan government’s attention in last few years, the infrastructure of Jodhpur is progressing at a fast pace. The ‘Blue City’ gradually paves way for development in key sectors of growth including education, housing, recreation, education, safety, industry, commercial and entrepreneurship opportunities. In time, premier institutes like NIFT, NLU and IIT, Pachpadra’s new petrochemical complex and improved infrastructure of residential and commercial regions like Benar Road, Pal Road, Nagaur Road and Barmer Road have drawn public attention to the neglected, parched regions of traditional sun City. This republic day, Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje announced government development schemes in Jodhpur to boost its aesthetic appearance. The projects worth Rs 778 crore will give new wings to the fast-booming appearance of the city.

Affordable Housing Under Mukyamantri Jan Awas Yojana
Owing to the rapid development of infrastructure, the price of residential property is increasing manifold. Consequently, the middle and the lower class families find it hard to cope with the increasing costs of construction. The dream of owning a personal house in the well-settled region seems out of reach. To grant the wish of an average man, CM Raje announced a mega-housing project in Badli under Mukhyamantri Jan Awas Yojana.
