The tradition of calling the sacred Uttarakhand as ‘Dev-Bhoomi’ due to the blessings of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu is revered. This sacred land, which receives energy from Goddess Parvati, daughter of the mountain king Himalaya and other worshipable forms of Shakti and is irrigated with the love of river mothers like Ganga and Yamuna, is also ‘Goddess-land’.

To secure the future of Devbhoomi, a specific action plan will be made with the coordination of all departments for “eradication of child labour”.

To realize the dream of drug free Uttarakhand, we have brought the scheme of “Drug Free Village” and “Drug Free City”, such areas will be given special encouragement. Women have played an important role in state building and women are the backbone of our state.

“Mukhyamantri Kanya Samuhik Vivah ” scheme will be started to provide necessary assistance to the needy families. Such events will be organized at the district level and the state government will make arrangements for it.

While wishing and congratulating the people of the state on the State Foundation Day, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami respectfully paid tribute to all the immortal martyrs and state agitators who contributed in the creation of Uttarakhand state.

Along with this, the Chief Minister also paid tribute on behalf of the entire people of Uttarakhand to the brave soldiers of Uttarakhand who made the supreme sacrifice to protect Mother India.
