Good to see the CM participating in local Holi celebrations. It's important for leaders to connect with cultural roots. The CSR vehicle for the college is a smart move – student transportation is a big issue in hill areas.

While flagging off vehicles is good PR, what about the long-term maintenance and fuel costs? Will the government or the paper mill bear that? Often these CSR projects start with fanfare but die a silent death due to operational issues.

As someone from a remote village in Uttarakhand, I can say an ambulance-type vehicle is a lifeline. Many times, patients have to be carried on makeshift stretchers for miles. Hope this initiative is replicated in other districts too. Jai Uttarakhand! ❤️

Combining development work with festival spirit is a nice touch. The focus on Kumaoni and Tharu Holi traditions shows respect for local diversity. More industries should step up their CSR game in the hills.

The vehicle for Government Inter College is a blessing. Students from far-flung areas often miss school due to lack of transport. This will directly impact attendance and opportunities. Bahut accha kadam hai.
