The month-long campaign would be launched by Raje who will address a public rally in Bikaner on December 13 when the BJP government in the state completes three years.

Raje was addressing the inaugural session of the Collector-SP Conference at the Convention Hall of CMO on Thursday. She asked administrative officers to increase communication and simplify the day-to-day Government-citizen interface.
On Thursday, Raje suggested a proper monitoring of flagship schemes and projects along with better implementation of the budget announcements. She directed that review meetings be held every week to assess the development.
