Udaipur rural

There are sufficient numbers of hospitals in the constituency but the numbers of doctors do not match with the requirements of the population size. Residents of the tribal areas feel neglected by the local MLA who though claims of having done his bit.

What I did:

• Spent Rs 207 crore on development works in the constituency during 5 years
• Got an agricultural university established
• Got a satellite hospital established at Hira Magari
• Got an over-bridge constructed connecting the city with Hira Magari
