Dehradun: President Droupadi Murmu, who arrived to attend the Passing Out Parade at the Indian Military Academy (IMA), also inspected the Rashtrapati Udyan, a project considered to be one of her dream initiatives. The President reviewed the progress, quality, and timeline of the construction work in detail and directed officials to complete the project within the stipulated timeframe.

Expected to Be Completed by November
The Rashtrapati Udyan, being developed over an area of approximately 132 acres, is rapidly taking shape. The administration aims to complete the project by November and open it to the public. Once completed, it will provide Dehradun with a world-class green and cultural destination, boosting both tourism and the local economy.
Foundation Stone Laid in 2025

A New Hub for Tourism and Culture
The Rashtrapati Udyan is being designed to offer visitors a combination of nature, culture, recreation, and wellness facilities within a single complex. Its completion is expected to strengthen Dehradun’s identity at the national level and make it a major tourist attraction.

Dehradun District Magistrate Ashish Chauhan stated that construction is progressing as scheduled and, based on the current pace, the project is likely to be completed by November.
