Jaipur, September 4: Under the Bhamashah Yojana, Rajasthan government has decided to distribute mobile phones to women. Notably, the move from Vasundhara Raje-led government comes with an aim to boost PM Modi’s flagship 'Digital India' campaign in the state.

 

In a public meeting at Jaipur on Tuesday, CM Vasundhara Raje said that the state government will not only distribute mobile phones to women but will also provide free Wifi facilities to as many as 5,000 gram panchayats to ensure that the state is well connected with the outside world.

She further added that the state government is also making efforts to launch new applications so that the poor can receive all benefits by simply pushing a button on their cell phones. This is not the first time that the state government has taken such an initiative to make people technologically advanced. On August 29, CM Vasundhara Raje reportedly launched the Bhamashah Wallet mobile to bring in a digital mode of payments.

Earlier, Raje also launched Abhay command centers at Dausa, Sriganganagar, Baker, Bhilwara, Karauli and Dholpur. The state government has also equipped these centers with dial 100 management, traffic management, video surveillance and cyber forensics.
