The concept of a strong Uttarakhand will be seen in the Governor’s address:
In the Governor’s address at the Vidhansabha Bhawan located at Bharadisain in Gairsain, a glimpse of the steps taken in the public interest along with the tough decisions taken by the Dhami government in the last one year will be visible. Pushkar Singh Dhami, who took over the reins of the state for the second time as Chief Minister, has passed as a challenge for one year. The murder of a female employee of Vanantara Resort, then the recruitment scam, the High Court’s order on women’s reservation faced challenges on many fronts.
As a young Chief Minister, Dhami not only faced these challenges, but also took no time in taking decisions regarding anti-copying law, strict legal provision to stop conversion and Women’s Reservation Act. Dhami, who has become a Nazir in the whole country by forming a high-level committee on Uniform Civil Code, also took many steps in the public interest in view of the overwhelming opinion polled in the assembly elections. Free cooking gas cylinders were made available to Antyodaya families.
Soldiers who received gallantry awards have been given honor money and free travel facility in the buses of the Transport Corporation. The agenda of the next four years of the Dhami government will also be visible in the Governor’s address in the Assembly on Monday. With the ambitious infrastructure development projects of the central government, the Dhami government has shown interest in increasing the rural road network. The dream of becoming a tourism state is to be fulfilled in the coming years only on the strength of infrastructural development.
The action plan to bring this dream to the ground can be seen in the speech. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has laid special emphasis on self-employment. The roadmap for new self-employment opportunities for youth and women will be visible in this.
