Earlier on November 5, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Dhami delivered an extensive and historic address in the special session of the Legislative Assembly on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee of statehood, highlighting in detail the 25-year developmental journey of the state, its remarkable achievements, and future resolutions, according to an official press release.
The Chief Minister stated that the formation of Uttarakhand was not a sudden event, but rather the culmination of years of relentless struggle, immense sacrifice, and the martyrdom of thousands of activists.
He paid heartfelt tribute to all the martyrs, agitators, and former Prime Ministers, Chief Ministers, and public representatives who contributed to the creation of the state.
He stated that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttarakhand today stands among the leading states of the country in various sectors. The state’s economy has expanded 26 times, and per capita income has risen 18 times. Uttarakhand has secured the first position in the country on NITI Aayog’s Sustainable Development Goals Index and has also achieved the top rank nationally in farmers’ income growth rate.
