A Silver Jubilee of Struggle and Development
Uttarakhand, popularly known as Devbhoomi (the land of Gods), was carved out of Uttar Pradesh on November 9, 2000, becoming India’s 27th state. This year marks its silver jubilee, a moment of pride celebrating its journey from people’s movement to a model of balanced development.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami called the occasion a “silver jubilee of struggle, values, and dedication.” Paying tribute to Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the former Prime Minister under whose leadership the state was formed, Dhami said, “His farsighted and sensitive leadership gave Devbhoomi a new identity.”
Balanced Growth and Record Investment
Highlighting the success of the “double-engine government”, CM Dhami said Uttarakhand has achieved remarkable growth in connectivity, infrastructure, industry, tourism, education, health, and women’s empowerment.
He emphasized that the state’s model of growth prioritizes environmental conservation alongside progress, helping Uttarakhand secure a top position in India’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Index.
Dhami also announced that the state has attracted industrial investments worth ₹3.5 lakh crore, with ₹1 lakh crore already realized. Tourism projects such as the Char Dham Yatra, Kanwar Yatra, and temple redevelopment initiatives have further boosted the economy and created new job opportunities.
