On the other hand, Rashtrapati Niketan, spread over 24 acres, will be opened to the general public on June 24. Before Rashtrapati Niketan, it was known as Rashtrapati Aashiyana. In addition to the collection of artefacts in this heritage building, visitors will get to see Lily Talab, Rokari Talab, Rose Garden, etc.

In addition, Rashtrapati Tapovan, spread over 19 acres, will be dedicated to the general public. It has winding paths, wooden bridges, and quiet places for contemplation and meditation.

Good to see our President focusing on Uttarakhand's development. The new public park sounds amazing - we need more such green spaces in our cities. Hope they maintain it well after completion. 👍

While I appreciate the President's visit, I wonder why the Madhya Pradesh trip was cancelled last minute? Sickle Cell awareness is important too. Hope they reschedule soon.

As a Dehradun resident, I'm excited! The Rashtrapati Niketan opening is long overdue. My grandparents remember visiting the old Rashtrapati Aashiyana back in the day. Can't wait to take my kids there.

The meditation spaces at Rashtrapati Tapovan sound perfect for stressed city folks like me! 😌 Hope they keep entry fees reasonable so everyone can benefit from these beautiful spaces.

I appreciate President Murmu's focus on public infrastructure, but I hope they don't compromise local ecology for these projects. Dehradun's green cover is already shrinking rapidly.

The heritage artefacts display is what excites me most! Our younger generation needs to connect with India's rich cultural history. Kudos for making presidential estates more accessible to common people.
