Good to see focus on both development and culture. Ghee Sankranti is such an important festival for us hill people. But government should also ensure proper facilities for these new doctors - many leave due to poor infrastructure.

24,000 jobs in 4 years sounds impressive, but what about quality? My cousin got a government job last year but salary comes 3 months late every time. First fix these basic issues!

As someone who visited Uttarakhand last year, I was shocked by the doctor-patient ratio in rural areas. This is a much-needed step. Hope other states learn from this model of healthcare development.

Appointments are good, but what about retention? My village got 2 doctors last year, both transferred within 6 months. Need better policies to keep medical staff in difficult areas.
