Additional Chief Secretary Radha Raturi said that so far 25 MoUs worth more than Rs 500 crore have been signed between the Uttarakhand government and various companies.

He has advised all the departments that every day is very precious for grounding after the signing of MOU on any projects. Therefore, all concerned officers should work on mission mode on grounding of projects by adopting corporate working style instead of government working style.
He has instructed the departments to work with collective ownership instead of working separately for 100% grounding of the MOU. He said that departments will have to end the work culture of working in isolation. Instructions were also given to take decisions on fast track at every level for grounding of investment projects. At the same time, instructions have been given to the Health Department that effective grounding of the MOU done in the health sector will increase the possibilities of developing Uttarakhand as a medical tourism hub.
At the same time, in the meeting, the Additional Chief Secretary has instructed the Transport Department to make special efforts to encourage investors showing interest in the field of public transport and electric buses. He said that especially in crowded cities like Dehradun, it is necessary to strengthen the public transport system for a permanent solution to the traffic problem. He has instructed the Transport Department to assess the possibilities of allotment of e-rickshaws only to the residents and women of the state.
