Among other things, the Vasundhara Raje government has dedicated substantial resources to development of temples and the infrastructure around them.  

One of the most important decisions taken by the state Cabinet is to bring the Class 8 Boards back into the state-run-schooling system.

Rajendra Rathore, medical and health minister, told dna, “The Boards would be optional for parents who want their children to take it.” The decision has been taken to address the concerns of parents who were worried about the quality of education in schools.
