Water Infrastructure Upgrades in Dehradun

In Dehradun’s Dharampur Assembly constituency, the Chief Minister approved Rs. 60.00 lakh for replacing old and dilapidated pipelines in Ward 86, Sewla Kalan.

  • Alkhanath Temple Kilpara
  • Kanda Simkula

This facility aims to support increasing tourist footfall in the region and provide essential amenities to pilgrims and visitors.

Strengthening Rural Health Infrastructure

A major allocation of Rs. 35.50 crore has been released for upgrading Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and Sub-Centres (SCs) into Health and Wellness Centres in rural areas for the fiscal year 2025–26. This move, under the 15th Finance Commission’s recommendations, aims to provide comprehensive primary healthcare at the grassroots level, especially in underserved areas.

Urban Local Bodies Empowered with Rs. 98.52 Crore

To strengthen urban governance and infrastructure, the Chief Minister also approved:

  • Rs. 39.41 crore (untied grants) for all urban local bodies in FY 2024–25.
  • Rs. 59.11 crore (tied grants) under the same fiscal plan.

These funds will allow urban bodies to address local priorities, improve civic amenities, and implement community welfare projects with increased autonomy and efficiency.

Dhami Government Focused on Inclusive Growth

Mr. Dhami’s multi-sector approval reflects the government’s commitment to balanced regional development, infrastructure modernization, and citizen-centric governance. With targeted investments across health, tourism, agriculture, and urban development, Uttarakhand continues its trajectory as a model hill state under visionary leadership.
