The Chief Minister added that the candidates selected for the Town and Country Planning Department would contribute to the planned development of the state, while those appointed in the Technical Education Department would help advance technical education and skill development. Candidates selected for the Women Empowerment and Child Development Department will work toward maternal and child welfare initiatives, while Forest Department personnel will play a vital role in conserving forest resources and biodiversity.
He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is progressing toward the goal of a Developed India by 2047, and Uttarakhand is also moving rapidly forward with its vision of becoming a developed state. Infrastructure expansion, investment, and employment opportunities are continuously increasing across the state.
