Sharma was addressing a review meeting held in the Chief Minister's Office regarding the preparations for Pravasi Rajasthani Day. He said that the state government is organizing Pravasi Rajasthani Day for the first time on 10 December in honour of the overseas community. Therefore, extensive publicity through various platforms must be ensured so that this grand event reaches every Non-Resident Rajasthani and becomes a historic opportunity to unite our brothers and sisters across the globe.
