TheGovernment of Rajasthan is the supreme governing authority of the Indian state ofRajasthan and its41 districts. It consists of anexecutive branch, led by the governor of Rajasthan, as well asjudiciary andlegislative branches.Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan, and houses theVidhan Sabha (legislative assembly) and the secretariat. There are various programs announced by the Government of Rajasthan.
Like other states in India, the head of state of Rajasthan is thegovernor, appointed by thepresident of India on the advice of the central government. The post is largely ceremonial. Thechief minister is the head ofgovernment and is vested with most of the executive powers.
In addition to its administrative setup, Rajasthan has a bicameral legislature comprising the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha), which consists of 200 members elected for five-year terms. Unlike some Indian states, Rajasthan does not have a Legislative Council. The Rajasthan High Court, located in Jodhpur, serves as the highest judicial authority in the state, with a bench also operating in Jaipur to ensure judicial access across regions. The administrative machinery is divided into 50 districts for effective governance.[1]
Rajasthan is also unique for implementing innovative governance models like the Bhamashah Yojana, launched in 2014, aimed at financial inclusion and direct benefit transfer (DBT) to women-headed families, making it one of the first Indian states to digitize welfare distribution through biometric authentication.[2]
