Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has given a big and wonderful gift to the people of his home region. On Saturday, CM Pushkar Singh Dhami reached Khatima and here he formally inaugurated several important development schemes costing Rs 89 lakh. Actually, the main objective of these schemes is to provide better education, health and employment opportunities to the youth of marginal areas. This visit of the Chief Minister is a clear indication that the state government is working at the grassroots level to strengthen the infrastructure.

During a grand program organized in the development block office complex, the Chief Minister dedicated projects especially to education and youth empowerment to the public. It is being told that these development schemes worth Rs 89 lakh include the state-of-the-art ‘Didi’s Library’ built at a cost of Rs 55 lakh, a high-tech gym built at a cost of Rs 7.50 lakh and a magnificent auditorium of the block built at a cost of Rs 26.50 lakh. With the launch of these facilities, people in remote areas will now be able to get modern facilities in their own areas like in big cities.

‘Didi’s Library’ will improve the future of youth

In fact, talented students in rural and marginal areas often lag behind due to lack of resources and proper guidance. To overcome this big problem, ‘Didi’s Library’ has been started in Khatima. On this occasion, the Chief Minister clarified that education is the strongest basis for the progress of any society. This hi-tech library will be no less than a boon for those youth who are preparing for IAS, PCS or other competitive examinations. Here students will get a peaceful environment, high-speed internet and all the necessary books, so that they can give new flight to their dreams.

The most important thing is that this library will not be run by any external or government organization, but by women of local self-help groups. According to the local people, this step of the government will not only benefit the students, but the mother power will also get direct employment and their income will increase. This is being considered as a very meaningful and practical effort directly towards women empowerment.

CM Pushkar Singh Dhami said in Khatima – A healthy mind resides in a healthy body.

Along with bookish knowledge, the government also has full emphasis on the fitness and health of the youth. In this connection, the appearance of the old gymnasium has been completely changed by spending Rs 7.50 lakh. Now this gym is equipped with brand new and modern equipment. Addressing the program, Dhami said that taking inspiration from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Fit India Movement’, the Uttarakhand government is also bringing the youth away from drugs and closer to sports.

He told that a healthy mind resides only in a healthy body. In today’s era, when youth are increasingly running towards junk food and mobile screens, such modern gymnasiums will inspire them to adopt physical fitness and a positive lifestyle.

All-round development is the main goal of the state government

Khatima is not just an assembly constituency, but it is also the Chief Minister’s own home constituency. In such a situation, his different commitment towards the development of this place is visible. Dhami clearly said from the stage that his government is working together and equally on the fronts of education, health, employment and infrastructure. The vision of the government is very clear that the benefits of development should reach the people standing at the last end of the society.

In the future, many important block level meetings and public hearing programs can be easily organized in the newly constructed auditorium of the block which was inaugurated during the programme. On this special occasion, many top officials of the administration including District Panchayat President Ajay Maurya, Block Chief Sarita Rana, Municipality President Ramesh Chandra Joshi, DM Nitin Singh Bhadauria and SSP Ajay Ganpati and a large number of local people were present. Overall, these new projects started in Khatima will prove to be a very strong means of making youth and women self-reliant in the times to come.
