I appreciate the gesture, but I hope the government also focuses on improving the quality of training at these ITIs. Our youth need modern skills for the 21st century, not just name changes. Just my two cents.

While renaming is good, can we talk about the ₹13 crore per district untied fund? That's a massive amount - hope it reaches the right projects and not just vanishes in bureaucracy. Transparent tracking is crucial! 🤔

The relief for flood victims in Tehri is welcome, but ₹4,000 per month for rent is too little in today's economy. Families displaced from homes need much more support. CM should review this amount.

Good to see the sewer line and pumping station projects for Dehradun. Basic infrastructure is the backbone of development. But I hope the work is done with proper quality control - we've seen too many roads and drains crumbling after monsoons. 🏗️

Lance Naik Revadhar's sacrifice can never be forgotten. This renaming is a fitting tribute! But I also hope the ITI gets more modern equipment and better faculty. Our jawans deserve that their namesake institute produces skilled technicians for India's growth. 🙏
