"Collective responsibility of all citizens": Uttarakhand CM Dhami on PM Modi's 'seven appeals' amid West Asia conflict

Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami supports PM Modi's seven appeals to reduce imports, conserve energy, and strengthen India's economy amid global conflicts.

"If every citizen understands their responsibility and takes small yet meaningful resolutions... it would make a valuable contribution to the nation's economy. - Pushkar Singh Dhami"

Dehradun, May 11

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that conserving energy resources while keeping national interest paramount is a collective responsibility of all citizens.

He stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to the people is not only aimed at economic savings but is also a significant step towards building a self-reliant and empowered India, according to a release.

The Chief Minister said that if every citizen understands their responsibility and takes small yet meaningful resolutions such as avoiding unnecessary foreign travel, prioritising local and indigenous products, using public transport to reduce petrol and diesel consumption, conserving energy, refraining from purchasing gold jewellery for a year, using natural manure instead of chemical fertilisers in farming, and consuming edible oil in moderation, it would make a valuable contribution to the nation's economy.

He further said that the people of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand have always remained at the forefront when it comes to national interest.

The vision of "Vocal for Local" and "Atmanirbhar Bharat" can only succeed when every citizen contributes at an individual level. The Chief Minister expressed confidence that the people of the state would turn the Prime Minister's appeal into a mass movement.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is moving rapidly towards self-reliance, and with the participation of every citizen, this resolve will become even stronger.

The remarks came a day after Prime Minister Modi, while addressing a gathering in Secunderabad, urged citizens to reduce dependence on imports and adopt responsible consumption habits to strengthen the economy amid global supply chain disruptions and rising costs caused by international conflicts.

The Prime Minister appealed to citizens to reduce edible oil consumption, use public transport, prefer carpooling, adopt electric vehicles, and move towards natural farming practices to reduce the country's import burden and conserve foreign exchange.

I've been using public transport in Delhi for years now. It's not just patriotic—it's cheaper and less stressful than sitting in traffic. Good to see the push for Atmanirbhar Bharat extending to daily habits. 🇮🇳

Honest question: western countries have been advising gold buying for decades, now we're told to stop? My grandmother's savings are all in gold. Small steps may work but need clear alternatives for families. ✨

Good initiative but skeptical about people actually reducing ghee and oil consumption—it’s a staple in every Indian kitchen. Need clear guidelines, not just moral pressure. Also, what about government subsidies for EVs?

Finally a leader talking about consumption habits! We import too much palm oil and soybean. If every household reduces even 10% oil usage, it'll save billions in foreign exchange. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳💪

These are good intentions but impractical for many. Using public transport isn't even available in villages. And organic manure without proper training? Farmers will feel burdened. Needs more concrete planning, not just appeals.

Our family already does this! We switched to natural farming last year—lower yields at first, but now soil is healthier, and expenses dropped. PM Modi
