As someone who loves trekking in Uttarakhand, the Sharda Corridor and tourism push sound promising. Hope it's done sustainably. The Women's Sports College is a brilliant initiative – empowering girls through sports is the need of the hour.

Good to see development reaching the border districts. The dry port near Nepal border can be a game-changer for local economy. My only request to the government: please ensure quality of construction and no corruption in these projects. We have seen big announcements before with poor results on ground.

The Science Centre focusing on AI is a forward-thinking step. Our children in the hills should not be left behind in the tech race. Also, respecting our soldiers and environmental workers is a nice touch. Real development is holistic.

₹36 crore for 17 schemes? The amounts seem very small when divided. The old-age home at ₹8.99 crore sounds substantial, but what about the other schemes? Hope the details are made public. Transparency is key for public trust.

Investing in infrastructure in border regions like Champawat is also a strategic move for national security. Developing these areas improves connectivity and the lives of people living there, which is important for the country's integrity. The 100-foot flag is a powerful symbol of that.
