Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that today is a special day because on this day, on 04 July 2021, he was given an opportunity to serve Devbhoomi Uttarakhand. He said that first of all, I have come among the people after taking the blessings of Mother Ganga. He said that today we are completing four successful years of this journey to fulfill our “Vikalp Rahit Sankalp” of overall development of the state and fulfilling the aspirations of the people. On the completion of four successful years, he bowed down to all the god-like people of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
He said that it is because of the trust shown by the public that I am able to serve the state as the Chief Servant of Uttarakhand today. He said that it is the love of the public that gives him the energy to work dedicatedly for the development of the state and the progress of the society every day. He said that ever since he has taken charge as the Chief Servant, he has been working continuously with determination to live up to the expectations of the public.
He said that the state government, taking inspiration from the respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has made many new schemes for every sector and class from villages to cities, from farmers to youth, from women to labour force, from traders to employees and has also implemented them on the ground. The result of which is that today in the state, on one hand, the infrastructure of all basic needs including roads, education, health and drinking water is being strengthened from cities to remote border and mountain villages. At the same time, milk production, honey production, agriculture, horticulture, cultivation of aromatic plants and flowers etc. are also being encouraged with the aim of economically empowering the farmers of the state. He told that apart from this, self-employment is also being promoted by implementing many schemes like Home Stay Scheme, Lakhpati Didi Scheme and Solar Self-Employment Scheme, as a result of which our Uttarakhand has got the first place in the country in the index of achieving the goals of sustainable development released by NITI Aayog. He said that by reducing the unemployment rate of the state by a record 4.4 percent, the state has surpassed the national average.
He said that we are also doing various works for the welfare and empowerment of women. Under which, the state government has started schemes like ‘Mukhyamantri Nari Shaktikaran Yojana’, Mukhyamantri Mahalakshmi Yojana, Mukhyamantri Vatsalya Yojana, Mukhyamantri Aanchal Amrit Yojana and Poshan Abhiyan along with giving 30 percent reservation to women in government jobs in the state. He said that through these schemes, the daughters of the state are not only getting selected in various government services, but are also becoming self-reliant through self-help groups, startups and small industries.
He said that we are continuously working with full commitment for the overall development of all the districts of the state. In the same sequence, work is being done on many development projects in Haridwar district as well. He told that while on one hand we are constructing sewerage network in Haridwar city at a cost of more than 186 crore rupees, we have also worked on drinking water projects worth more than 187 crore rupees in the entire city. Not only this, whether it is the construction of medical college or the establishment of model degree college located in Laldhan area. He said that we have also made every possible effort to promote education in Haridwar.
He said that to give the holy city of Haridwar a grand and divine look like the Kashi Vishwanath and Ujjain Mahakal corridor, the Haridwar-Rishikesh corridor is also being constructed, whose DPR has also been prepared. Along with the construction of a heliport for heli services in Haridwar, an action plan is also being prepared for the operation of pod taxis to rid the city of the problem of traffic jams. Be it giving the green signal to the construction of a ropeway from Har ki Pauri to Maa Chandi Devi and Maa Mansa Devi or the work being done towards building a suspension bridge along with the construction of a bridge in the seasonal river of Laldharang. He said that we are making every possible effort to make the Devnagari Haridwar a world-class city.
He said that the organization of Kavad Yatra and Kumbh is a very important event for the holy city of Haridwar. He said that after taking stock of the preparations related to Kavad Yatra from all the officials in a meeting, it has been made clear that the organization of Kavad Yatra and Kumbh in the year 2027 should be grand, divine, safe and historic. For this, we are all determined to make necessary arrangements.
He said that along with the overall development of the state, the state is also fully committed to preserve its cultural values and demography. On one hand, we have implemented anti-conversion and strict anti-riot laws in the state, while on the other hand, we have also taken strict action against jihadi mindsets like land jihad, love jihad and spit jihad. He said that on one hand, by implementing the Uniform Civil Code law in the state, a uniform law has been established for all citizens. At the same time, a strict anti-copying law has also been implemented in the state to curb those who play with the future of the youth, as a result of which today more than 24 thousand youth of the state have succeeded in getting government jobs without any copying. Sons and daughters born in normal families do not have to go to anyone’s door. He said that after the anti-copying law, the basis of selection is not corruption, not copying mafia, not paper leak, not pen drive, but today the basis of selection is merit and ability.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that he is working with determination with the policy of “zero tolerance” to eliminate corruption from the state. He said that everyone knows very well that earlier there was a perception that action is taken only against small employees if found involved in corruption. But we have changed this perception by catching not only small fishes but also corrupt crocodiles in the state. He said that in the last three and a half years, more than 200 people involved in corruption have also been sent behind the bars of the jail. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami gave a clear message from the banks of Maa Ganga that the corrupt should either reform or be ready to go to jail.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that everyone will also have to remember who enjoyed the power for years, and only pushed Uttarakhand into the quagmire of scams, unemployment, migration and appeasement. Under whose rule, the governance of the state had completely collapsed and our youth, farmers and women power of the state were forced to wander from door to door and development was confined only to files. Whose entire politics revolved around a single family and its policy of appeasement. For them, not the public but the family came first, for them, not the state but the vote bank came first. He asked the public that do you all remember which party it was? He said that this is the reason that whenever this party was in power, the development of Uttarakhand was blocked. But, now that time is over, now the public has woken up.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that along with the country, Uttarakhand is also moving forward with a clear policy and decisive leadership, where ‘development’ is the priority, ‘honesty’ is the identity, and ‘service’ is the resolution. He said that the state government is continuously working with its ‘option less resolution’ to make Devbhoomi Uttarakhand the best state of the country and our ‘option less resolution’ is to create a distinct identity of Uttarakhand, to make every village smart and prosperous, to make the youth self-reliant and capable, to take tourism to new heights in the state, to preserve the confluence of nature, culture and progress, to provide employment to the youth by stopping migration, to provide security and respect to every daughter of the state, to make every farmer brother prosperous and happy, to take the state to new heights of education, health, and prosperity and to make Uttarakhand the best state of the country.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami proudly said that whatever we said, we did it and whatever we will say in the future, we will do it too. He said that we should all take a pledge once again that we will not get tired, nor stop and will keep moving forward like this until we take Devbhoomi to the heights of development. He expressed confidence that with everyone’s cooperation, our resolve to make Uttarakhand the best state will definitely be fulfilled.
