The Rajasthan Association of North America (RANA) recently hosted its inaugural board meeting, marking a significant milestone with the election of its new members. The meeting was chaired by the newly appointed President, Prem Bhandari, who led the discussions and set the tone for the association’s future initiatives. The gathering was an important occasion for the organization, bringing together key figures and leaders to chart the course for the year ahead. One of the highlights of the event was the unveiling of the official poster for “Rajasthan Tourism Year 2025.” This initiative aims to boost global awareness of the rich cultural heritage, historical significance, and diverse tourist attractions that Rajasthan has to offer. The poster is a visual representation of the state’s vibrant tourism campaign, which seeks to draw international visitors and showcase Rajasthan as a premier travel destination for people around the world.
In addition to this, an important decision was made at the meeting regarding the upcoming milestone celebration of RANA New York’s 25th anniversary. As part of the commemorative events, RANA will host the prestigious 5th International RANA Convention later this year. This convention promises to be a grand occasion, bringing together members from across North America and beyond to engage in discussions, exchange ideas, and celebrate the accomplishments of the association over the past quarter-century. The event is expected to highlight the strong bond between Rajasthan and its diaspora, fostering deeper connections and cooperation among the community members while celebrating the association’s legacy and its contribution to strengthening cultural ties between North America and Rajasthan.
