I believe that this Devbhoomi will become the center of attraction for the spiritual consciousness of the whole world in the times to come.

Earlier, during this period Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that this is the golden age of Railways. Indigenously made semi high speed train is going to run from here.

Arrangements up to Rs 2000-4000 crores were made for the railways in Uttarakhand and this time they made arrangements of Rs 5000 crores.

The Prime Minister said in his address – Navratnas of development will change the picture of Devbhoomi, praising CM Dhami

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today gave a big gift to Devbhoomi Uttarakhand in the form of Vande Bharat Express, during which he also openly mentioned the nine gems set for the development of Uttarakhand, through which the “double engine” government can change the fate and picture of the hill state. Both are committed to change. The Prime Minister categorically said that the entire thrust of our Government is on the “Navratnas of development”. In his address, the PM said that “Dhami ji’s government has given new energy to the infrastructure projects going on here to string the garland of Navratnas.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s special attachment to Devbhoomi Uttarakhand is not hidden from anyone. His repeated visits to Uttarakhand and his thoughts and dynamic and proposed plans for the development of Devbhoomi are enough to tell that his statement that “this decade will be the decade of Uttarakhand”, all this is actually reflected on the ground today. Happening.

Today, on the occasion of the launch of Vande Bharat Express, he not only repeated the lines “Yeh dasak will be the decade of Uttarakhand”, but also told how this decade is going to be the decade of Uttarakhand. Speaking in detail on Navratnas of development, he told how the works going on under Navratnas of development would prove to be very important for Uttarakhand in the days to come.

These are the Navratnas of development

▪️First Ratna- Reconstruction work in Kedarnath-Badrinath Dham with 1300 crore rupees

▪️Second Ratna- work of Gaurikund-Kedarnath and Govindghat-Hemkunt Sahib ropeway at a cost of Rs 2.5 thousand crore

▪️Third Ratna – Work of Manaskhand Mandir Mala Mission to make the mythological temples of Kumaon grand

▪️Fourth Ratna- Promotion of home stay in the entire state. More than 4000 home stays have been registered in the state

▪️Fifth Ratna – Development of 16 Eco Tourism Destinations

▪️Sixth Ratna– Expansion of health services in Uttarakhand. A satellite center of AIIMS is also being built in Udham Singh Nagar.

▪️Seventh Ratna – Tehri Lake Development Project costing about Rs 2000 crore

▪️Eighth Ratna – Development of Rishikesh-Haridwar as the capital of adventure tourism and yoga

▪️Ninth Ratna – Tanakpur-Bageshwar Rail Line. Work on this railway line will also start soon.

In his address, the PM said that you must have heard a saying – icing on the cake. That’s why Dhami ji’s government has given new energy to the infrastructure projects going on here to string the garland of these Navratnas. Work on the Chardham mega project is going on at a fast pace with a cost of Rs 12 thousand crore. With the completion of the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, the journey between Dehradun-Delhi will become easier. Along with road connectivity, ropeway connectivity is also being worked on in a big way in Uttarakhand. Parvatmala Yojana is going to change the fate of Uttarakhand in the coming days. For this, the connectivity for which the people of Uttarakhand have been waiting for years, our government is ending that wait.
