The three-tier authority will be represented by the chief minister, chief secretary, additional chief secretary of industries, and commissioner of industries besides senior officials from various departments.
Under the corporate social responsibility (CSR) schemes, 134 companies have spent Rs 436.81 crore in 2017-18 in Rajasthan which rose from Rs 388.79 crore in the previous year.
Officials said the CSR spending during 2018-19 could be more but they are yet to prepare the final report.
