Uttarakhand CM Dhami highlights three years of governance, women empowerment, and growth

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami described his three-year tenure as “three years of service, good governance, and development,” emphasizing the government's commitment to women empowerment through various schemes.

He highlighted that a 30% horizontal reservation for women in government jobs has been introduced to promote equal opportunities and socio-economic upliftment.

Dhami stated that under the 'Chief Minister Mahila Swarojgar Yojana,' over 30,000 women have received self-employment opportunities, enhancing their financial independence.

On Wednesday, he chaired a review meeting at the State Secretariat in Dehradun, discussing developments in agriculture, horticulture, cooperatives, silk production, aromatic plant cultivation, sugarcane, and tea production.

Speaking to reporters, Dhami highlighted the progress achieved over the past three years, noting that unemployment has declined while investment in the state has increased. He also discussed the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC).

"Under the guidance of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, the state government has advanced numerous development projects over the past three years. New initiatives have begun, and Uttarakhand ranks at the top in development parameters nationwide. In 2020, the state secured the first position in NITI Aayog's ranking. The unemployment rate has dropped by 4.4%, and large-scale investments have flowed into Uttarakhand. Employment opportunities are being generated, and several groundbreaking projects have been undertaken. Many historic decisions have been made in these three years, including the first implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) post-independence and the introduction of an anti-cheating law," CM Dhami stated.
