10 Villages to Become Model Tourist Villages

Ten strategically located villages from the districts of Uttarkashi, Chamoli, and Pithoragarh, situated along the India-China border, will be developed into model tourist villages. These villages include:

  • Uttarkashi: Jadung and Bagori
  • Chamoli: Mana and Niti
  • Pithoragarh: Gunji, Garbyang, Napalchu, Nabhi, Rakkang, and Kuti

The blueprint focuses on theme-based tourism development, aiming to position these villages as destinations that blend natural beauty with local culture and heritage.

51 Villages Along China Border, 40 Along Nepal Border Identified

Under Vibrant Village Program Phase-1, 51 villages along the China border were selected for infrastructure and livelihood development. In Phase-2, 40 villages along the India-Nepal border were added, including:

  • Champawat: 11 villages
  • Pithoragarh: 24 villages
  • Udham Singh Nagar: 5 villages

Each village is being assessed for its unique strengths, and district-level blueprints are being prepared for tailored development plans. The District Magistrates will soon submit action plans for approval.

Close Monitoring and Dashboard-Based Review

A Joint Commissioner-level officer has been appointed to monitor the progress in coordination with Chief Development Officers (CDOs). Additionally, a real-time dashboard has been set up to track and evaluate ongoing work. Reviews are scheduled every 10 days to ensure timely implementation.

High-Level Oversight and Visionary Planning

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami is personally overseeing the implementation of the program, underscoring its importance for the state’s development. Ms. Anuradha Pal (2016-batch IAS officer), Additional Secretary and State Nodal Officer, described the initiative as a “dream project” that will not only enhance local livelihoods but also halt migration by creating tourism-linked economic opportunities.

With a long-term vision of transforming remote border regions into vibrant economic zones, the project is expected to bring a new identity to Uttarakhand’s frontier villages, while preserving their ecological and cultural integrity.
