Jewels of Rajasthan
Leading Global Rajasthani Personalities: Volume II
While still working on its first volume, we realised there were many more to be talked about. And a second volume was thus decided upon!
Our 28th publication salutes 102 of the Rajasthani diaspora across 15 countries. It features efficient, prominent and courageous people in every field of their lives. Home Minister of Rajasthan, Mr. Gulab Chand Katariya released the book in 2015 during at the eve of the Resurgent Rajasthan Partnership Summit . The event brought together the covered personalities along with their friends and families.
This coffee-table book narrates the stories of the Rajasthanis who took on “the road less travelled” to realise their dreams. We recognised these leaders for their hard work and the ways they give back to their homeland and the world.
This book includes a special section inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision. The space features advice and tips from the leaders to support the coming generation. The insights align with the ‘Brand India’ campaign to ensure a better Rajasthan and the nation.
