 In a landmark achievement for rural development, Army Veteran, Olympian, and BJP Minister Col. Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore has successfully secured 50 bigha of land in Bassi Naga village near Jobner in the Jhotwara constituency.

Col. Rathore’s leadership spans five critical ministries:

This move highlights his multi-dimensional approach to development, blending agricultural innovation with education, skill-building, and rural prosperity.

The Vision Behind the Project

Jhotwara has long been known for its strong base in agriculture and livestock rearing. However, the lack of a local veterinary education hub meant limited access to research, training, and upgraded animal health services. Recognizing this, Col. Rathore envisioned a university that would:

  • Promote advanced veterinary science and research
    Provide skill training to rural youth

  • Develop animal health facilities, boosting livestock productivity

  • Create a hub for agricultural innovation and sustainable farming

His aim: to transform Jhotwara’s agrarian economy and empower local communities.

Securing 50 Bigha: Overcoming Key Challenges

Acquiring land for such a large-scale project involved multiple hurdles:

  1. Land Identification & Allocation
     Authorities had to survey and designate 50 bigha in Bassi Naga, ensuring suitability and minimal displacement.

  2. Legal and Environmental Clearances
     Land had to be categorized correctly, with environmental impact and local usage prioritized.

  3. Coordination Across Departments
     Col. Rathore leveraged his roles to expedite approvals via Industry & Commerce and aligned skill building via Skill Development ministry.

  4. Local Engagement
     He ensured transparent communication with residents, offering compensation and employment commitments.
