Boost to Cultural and Religious Heritage

The government has approved Rs. 146 crore for the beautification of Jageshwar Dham under the Manaskhand Parvat Mala Mission, with second phase works sanctioned. The Maa Nanda Devi Temple will be reconstructed in the traditional Kumaoni hill style, strengthening the state’s cultural identity. In addition, a Nanda Devi Handicraft Village will be established in Dinapani to promote Aipan art, copperware, woodcraft, and women-led enterprises, providing artisans direct access to wider markets.

Healthcare Strengthening in Almora

Mr. Dhami announced a 50-bed critical care block in Almora along with the upgradation of Almora Women’s Hospital at a cost of Rs. 5 crore. A new base hospital building and expansion of the Someshwar Sub-District Hospital have also been planned. Moreover, a drug de-addiction centre has been established in Almora, improving healthcare outreach in the region.

Infrastructure and Connectivity Expansion

Uttarakhand has seen rapid progress in connectivity. In the past three years, 248 km of rural roads have been constructed in Almora. The Almora–Pauri Garhwal–Rudraprayag road was completed at a cost of Rs. 400 crore, while widening of the Almora–Bageshwar road has been sanctioned at Rs. 922 crore. Heli services under the Udaan Yojana have been launched, and a new helipad is planned at Chaukhutia near Dol Ashram. Parking projects at more than 25 locations and a Rs. 12 crore lift irrigation scheme at Sadi Mahar village are also underway.

Strengthening Livelihood and Local Economy

Through initiatives such as the ‘One District, Two Products’ scheme, the State Millet Mission, House of Himalayas brand, Farm Machinery Bank, Apple Mission, and Homestay/Film Policy, the state is ensuring self-reliance and entrepreneurial growth. Products from the Nanda Devi Handicraft Village will also be linked to national and international markets, boosting opportunities for local artisans.

Governance and Law Enforcement

The Uttarakhand government has implemented strict anti-conversion, anti-riot, and anti-land mafia laws. More than 6,500 acres of encroached government land have been freed, over 250 illegal madrasas sealed, and more than 500 illegal structures removed. The government has also announced that the Madrasa Board will be abolished by July 2026, with only the state curriculum to be followed thereafter.

CM Dhami’s Vision

Chief Minister Mr. Dhami said, “Under Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi’s leadership, India is witnessing a revival of its cultural heritage. Our government is committed to preserving the cultural values of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand while ensuring overall development, infrastructure growth, and livelihood opportunities for our people.”
