Great initiative by CM Dhami! Mangal Dals are the backbone of Uttarakhand's rural society. The increased incentives and digital training will empower them further. Hope the funds reach the grassroots level properly. 🙏

As someone from Uttarakhand, I've seen Mangal Dals do amazing work during disasters. But Rs.1000 increase in incentive is too small considering inflation. Should be at least Rs.7000-8000 to make real impact.

Good steps but implementation is key. Previous schemes often got stuck in bureaucracy. Hope this time the loan facilities and training reach the youth quickly. Uttarakhand needs more employment opportunities to stop migration.

Wonderful to see focus on preserving folk culture! Our traditions make Uttarakhand unique. The financial aid for local festivals will help keep our heritage alive. Maybe they can also document these traditions digitally for future generations.

Rs.60 crores for self-employment is impressive! But government should also focus on creating markets for products made by these groups. What's the use of making things if they don't sell? Need proper marketing support too.

As a teacher in a village school, I've seen how Mangal Dals help in education campaigns too. Happy to see their multi-dimensional role being recognized. The digital training will help them connect better with urban areas. 👍
