  • A meeting hall at the tehsil office, Pauri Garhwal
  • Construction of office building, workshop, and storeroom at Lohaghat Bus Station in Champawat

These investments aim to improve public service delivery, ease administrative workload, and modernize district-level governance infrastructure.

Empowering Panchayati Raj Institutions

On the recommendations of the Fifth State Finance Commission, Mr. Dhami approved substantial fund releases to local bodies:

  • Rs. 78 crore to Area Panchayats (2nd half-yearly installment)
  • Rs. 200 crore to Gram Panchayats (2nd half-yearly installment)
  • Rs. 333 crore to Urban Local Bodies (3rd quarterly installment, FY 2025–26)
  • Rs. 3 crore to three non-elected bodies

This funding ensures the financial autonomy of Panchayati Raj institutions, enabling local governments to execute grassroots development effectively.

Urban and Rural Connectivity Projects Move Forward

The Chief Minister sanctioned:

  • Rs. 3.19 crore for road construction after encroachment removal on the Anarwala-Malsi motor road in Mussoorie (Dehradun district)

These road and bridge upgrades aim to improve transport accessibility, safety, and regional connectivity, especially in high-tourism and remote zones.

Urban Infrastructure and Utility Upgrades

Additional approvals include:

  • External electricity and drinking water line installations for a low-income group housing society in Kath Bangla, Dehradun
  • Flood protection works along the Khoh River in Kotdwar, Pauri Garhwal
  • Motor road construction from Nawabgarh bridge to Khadar in Vikasnagar
  • Upgradation of the Soban Singh Jeena University campus in Champawat with a central library, mini stadium, and boundary wall

Strengthening Core Utilities and Cultural Assets

Mr. Dhami also approved projects under:

  • Irrigation Department schemes
  • Uttarakhand Transmission Strengthening and Distribution Improvement Programme
  • ADB-supported infrastructure schemes
  • Development of the Angeli Babu temple site in Kapkot, Bageshwar

These efforts reflect a multi-sectoral approach, enhancing water management, power distribution, and heritage tourism development in the state.

Uttarakhand’s Development Model: Infrastructure + Inclusion

With this wide-ranging allocation of Rs. 986 crore, Uttarakhand’s government continues to invest in future-ready infrastructure while ensuring inclusive development. Mr. Dhami’s leadership signals a strong push for localized empowerment, economic growth, and cultural preservation across the state.
