Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has unlocked Rs 227.73 crore for a basket of development schemes, injecting fresh momentum into Uttarakhand’s journey toward prosperity. The approval, finalized in a strategic session, targets underserved pockets with high-impact interventions.
Core areas of focus include robust transport links, quality healthcare delivery, and educational enhancements in far-flung regions like Dehradun hills and Champawat. Funds will also revive traditional water bodies, combating water scarcity exacerbated by climate shifts.
Dhami’s vision emphasizes participatory development. ‘These schemes are crafted with inputs from gram sabhas, ensuring grassroots relevance,’ he affirmed. The package features innovative elements like drone surveys for project monitoring and women-led construction crews.
Economically, it’s a game-changer: projected to create 5,000 jobs and uplift 50,000 households. Environmentalists commend the green clauses, mandating native afforestation alongside builds. In the wake of recent cloudbursts, reinforced embankments will safeguard lives and livelihoods.
As Uttarakhand eyes tourism revival and industrial inflows, this funding cements its competitive edge. With dedicated project cells and digital dashboards for transparency, execution promises efficiency. CM Dhami’s decisive action heralds a brighter, more connected future for the Devbhoomi.
