Tehri Garhwal, January 30

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday attended the grand closing ceremony of the Tehri Acro Festival and National SIV Championship 2026 as the chief guest. The Chief Minister highlighted the state's rapid progress in becoming a premier destination for adventure tourism and sports.

"Under the leadership of Chief Minister Dhami, Uttarakhand has emerged as a new hub for adventure sports. Adventure tourism has received fresh momentum, with the government playing a significant role in giving Tehri a distinct national identity. The Chief Minister's visionary initiatives to connect youth with sports are now yielding positive results," read an official statement from the CM's office

Earlier, CM Dhami also hailed PRAGATI Portal and the ongoing Central Government Projects in the state, saying, "The PRAGATI platform was launched by PM Modi in 2015 under the Digital India initiative to analyse various government projects. This portal reviews and monitors all the important programmes organised by the Government of India."

"The portal also addresses the grievances of the people. The projects have seen tremendous growth after the launch of this portal... Various projects launched after 2014 by the Prime Minister in Uttarakhand are turning into ground reality. Ten projects have been completed so far, and thirty-two others are underway," he added.

On Thursday, Pushkar Singh Dhami reviewed various schemes related to agriculture, animal husbandry, tourism, and industry at the Secretariat, directing officials to focus on connecting people with employment and self-employment opportunities through government initiatives.

He emphasised that complete information on these schemes should be provided to the public through the "Jan-Jan Ki Sarkar, Jan-Jan Ke Dwar" campaign so that as many people as possible can benefit.

The Chief Minister instructed officials to place special emphasis on youth skill development and to work effectively to provide them with maximum opportunities for self-employment.

He said, "All departments must ensure that eligible beneficiaries receive the full benefits of schemes in a timely manner. At the same time, it should be ensured that the allocated budget achieves its intended outcomes."

A total of 216 procurement centres have been established for the purchase and sale of millet crops, and a revolving fund of Rs 20 crore has been created under the Cooperative Department. Against a target of 5,000 metric tonnes for the current financial year, 5,386 metric tonnes of millet crops have already been procured.

It was further noted that under the Chief Minister Self-Employment Scheme and Chief Minister Self-Employment Scheme 2.0, against a target of 32,000 beneficiaries over four years, 33,620 beneficiaries have received financial assistance totalling Rs 202.72 crore. A target has been set to benefit 9,000 people in the upcoming year.

Good to see focus on millet procurement and self-employment schemes. The numbers look positive on paper. My only request to the administration is to ensure these benefits reach the remote villages in the hills, not just the towns. Transparency is key.

PRAGATI portal is a game-changer! Finally, a system to track projects and address grievances. Hope it reduces the usual delays and corruption in government works. If 32 projects are underway, we need regular updates on their status for public accountability.

As someone who loves trekking in Uttarakhand, promoting adventure tourism is brilliant. It creates jobs and showcases India's natural beauty. But development must be sustainable. We cannot let tourism harm the fragile Himalayan ecosystem.

The focus on skill development and self-employment is the need of the hour. So many young people from the hills migrate to cities for work. If these schemes are implemented properly, it can reverse that trend. Bas ab kaam dikhna chahiye ground pe.

Interesting read. The integration of digital governance (PRAGATI) with on-ground economic initiatives (millet procurement, self-employment) seems like a holistic approach. Exceeding the beneficiary target is a good sign. Hope this model is studied by other states.
