Uttarakhand IAS Officers to Revitalize Villages as Part of State Development Initiative

Dehradun, Jun 26 (PTI) — In an initiative driven by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, forty senior IAS officers in Uttarakhand have undertaken the responsibility to develop their initial postings, fostering the growth of a more developed state and nation.

The Chief Minister's directive for these officers is aimed at revitalizing their first posting locations, with an official announcement delineating their responsibilities. Tangible community development through enhanced village growth is a key aspect, urging officers to scrutinize past social and economic progress in their adopted villages and explore improvements via CSR contributions and other resources.

Behind the directive, Chief Secretary Anand Bardhan issued a mandate for these officers to draft a strategic action plan, ensuring optimal utilization of funds allocated from the district plan and Finance Commission to enhance the villages' conditions.

Commitment on the ground is evident as officials have begun their transformative efforts, immersing themselves in village environments overnight to better grasp the residents' lives and challenges.

With these action plans set to initiate a broader state government campaign, public representatives and non-profit entities are collaborating with officials to bring about substantial development in these communities.
