Dehradun. The “Government for the People, at the People’s Doorstep” program, led by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, has emerged as a strong model of good governance in Uttarakhand. Chief Minister Dhami said that officers should now be seen in the field, not just in files. In Uttarakhand, governance is now a means of service, not just power.
Through this campaign, the government is reaching out directly to the people, going beyond the confines of the secretariat and offices. On Saturday, a total of 135 camps were organized in 13 districts of the state. In these camps, more than 74,087 citizens submitted applications related to their problems and demands on the spot. Demonstrating administrative efficiency, 8,408 applications were resolved immediately. Additionally, 13,934 certificates were issued. 47,878 citizens received direct benefits from various welfare schemes.
This campaign is not merely a government formality, but a symbol of the government’s sensitivity, accountability, and service towards the public. On the Chief Minister’s instructions, officers are no longer making citizens run around to offices, but are themselves reaching villages and localities to resolve problems.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami clearly stated, “For me, governance does not only mean giving orders, but understanding the problems of the people and resolving them quickly.” CM Dhami has given strict instructions to the officers to ensure that the benefits of the schemes reach every eligible citizen. Door-to-door solutions should be ensured, especially for the elderly, disabled, and those living in remote areas.
The Dhami model: A new identity of good governance in Uttarakhand
The Dhami model has become a new identity of good governance in Uttarakhand today, where there is no waiting for hearings, nor is there a need for recommendations. The government itself is standing at the people’s doorstep. Every application received in the camps is being resolved in a time-bound, transparent, and high-quality manner. The Chief Minister has already ordered strict action against the concerned officials if any negligence is found at any level.
