Rajasthan Roadways Deficit Slashed by Bhajan Lal Govt Reforms
Imagine a bus company that used to lose a lot of money, about one thousand crores of rupees.
The new leader of the state, Bhajan Lal Sharma, wanted to make things better by being smarter about how the company was run.
They focused on good planning, making sure everyone worked hard, and using things wisely.
Because of these changes, the bus company is now losing much less money, only about three hundred crores of rupees.
They also got lots of new buses and hired some private buses to help more people travel.
They are even planning to get more new buses to make the rides even nicer and safer for everyone.
