"government welfare schemes should be widely promoted in OBC-dominated areas - Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami"

Dehradun, February 10

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday reviewed the work of the Uttarakhand Other Backwards Classes Commission at the Secretariat.

During the meeting, the Chief Minister directed officials to construct Uttarakhand OBC Welfare Multipurpose/Community Buildings in both divisions of the state. He emphasised that the construction of these buildings should be prioritised.

The Chief Minister instructed that the proposed buildings include a banquet hall, guest house, auditorium, training rooms, meeting rooms, and other essential facilities to support social, educational, and administrative activities.

He also directed officials to prepare and submit the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the multipurpose buildings at the earliest.

The Chief Minister said that government welfare schemes should be widely promoted in OBC-dominated areas and special campaigns should be conducted to connect eligible beneficiaries with these schemes.

He further directed officials to ensure interdepartmental coordination to effectively implement schemes in OBC-dominated areas and to monitor progress through regular reviews.

He also said that necessary improvements should be made to the schemes, based on beneficiary feedback, to ensure benefits reach the public more effectively.

The Chief Minister stated that the state government is committed to the overall development of all sections of society and is prioritising schemes in education, skill development, self-employment, and social security to uplift the OBC community.

Earlier, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami received a courtesy visit from the Chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and renowned writer, poet, and lyricist, Prasoon Joshi, at the Chief Minister's residence.

Chief Minister Dhami appreciated Joshi's remarkable contributions to literature and cinema and held discussions on various subjects related to art and culture.

During the meeting, discussions also covered Uttarakhand's cultural heritage, folk art and music, and the potential for film production in the state.

The Chief Minister said that the Uttarakhand government is continuously working to develop the state as a film production- and shooting-friendly destination and is providing necessary policy support and facilities to that end.

Good to see focus on OBC welfare. But the real test is implementation. We've seen many announcements before. Hope these buildings don't end up as white elephants and actually serve the community's needs.

Connecting beneficiaries with schemes is crucial. Often, people in villages don't know what they are eligible for. Special campaigns are needed, maybe using local youth as ambassadors.

Appreciate the intent, but I hope the focus remains on substantial issues like education and employment, not just infrastructure. A building is useless if there are no quality programs running inside it.

Interesting to see the cultural angle with Prasoon Joshi's visit. Developing Uttarakhand as a film destination could create many local jobs and promote the state's beautiful heritage. Win-win!

The mention of beneficiary feedback is key. Schemes often fail because they are designed in offices, not on the ground. Hope they genuinely listen to the people these buildings are meant for.
