Rajasthan Governor Margaret Alva today conveyed her greetings to the people on the eve of state foundation day.

Highlighting developments and growth potential of the state, Alva in her message stressed that the challenges lie ahead needed to be addressed.

She mentioned transformation in desert areas by Indira Gandhi canal, industrial growth and financial boom prospects by Delhi Mumbai Freight corridor, Oil refinery project, flagship schemes and programmes of the state government.

"The state today is poised for prosperity," she said.

However, Alva said infant morality rate, life expectancy and literacy rates continue to cause concern.

"The governance at all levels- political leadership, bureaucracy and professionals, including teachers, doctors and engineers-should be responsive to the need of vulnerable sections, in order to build a truly inclusive society," she added.
 

Rajasthan is celebrating the 64th foundation day tomorrow.
