Good to see focus on education and infrastructure. Making NCERT mandatory is a welcome move for standardisation. However, I hope the government also focuses on teacher training and ensuring these digital tools are actually used effectively in classrooms, not just installed for show.

Development schemes worth 114 crore is a significant investment for a constituency. Hope the funds are utilised properly and reach the grassroots. The mention of Mann Ki Baat shows how central schemes and state initiatives are being aligned. Jai Uttarakhand! 🇮🇳

The Ghoda Library project is such a brilliant, simple idea to tackle the challenge of reaching remote villages. Using mules to carry books to children who love to read... it's truly inspiring. Glad it got recognition from the PM as well. More such innovative solutions are needed for our hill states.

As someone who has visited Nainital, improving infrastructure and digital connectivity in these beautiful but remote areas is crucial for both education and tourism. The hybrid smart class model could be a template for other mountainous regions globally. Well done.

Announcements are one thing, ground reality is another. We often hear about crores being spent, but the quality of roads and schools in many parts of Uttarakhand still needs drastic improvement. I respectfully urge the CM to ensure strict monitoring of these projects for timely and quality completion.

We welcome thoughtful discussions from our readers. Please keep comments respectful and on-topic.
