Jaipur: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday said saving lives from the Covid pandemic should be taken as the goal in the year 2020.
We should give top priority to saving lives in 2020. If lives are saved, everything will be fine, the chief minister observed in function here.

He said Mahatma Gandhi Schools will be opened wherever there is a demand.
Gehlot said learning the English language gives confidence to students and it has become a vital language in today's time.
