Congress workers distributed sweets on Sunday to mark completion of one year in office by Chief Minister Harish Rawat. Uttarakhand Pradesh Congress Committee president Kishore Upadhyaya has greeted the CM on completing a year in office. The CM deserves accolade for the developmental works initiated in the disaster-affected State during the last one year, he said.
In his congratulatory message, the PCC chief has stated that under the able leadership of Harish Rawat as the Chief Minister, the way the foundation of various developmental works has been laid in the past year in the disaster-affected State, the Chief Minister deserves accolades. “The State is benefitting from the experience of Rawat with the CM proving that the Congress alone can ensure the desired level of development in Uttarakhand by facilitating integrated development by working in the interest of all segments of society and various sectors,” stated the PCC chief.
At the Congress Bhawan, the party cadre averred that historical efforts have been undertaken in the past one year for development of Uttarakhand. Congress State spokesman Anshul Shree Kunj said that the Congress-led Government in Uttarakhand has implemented schemes which are not offered in other States. By facilitating pension for farmers, Uttarakhand has become the first State in India to provide this facility. “Even the Central Government and World Bank are appreciating the efforts undertaken in Uttarakhand under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) for improving the education system.
Some Union Ministers have also appreciated the reconstruction works being undertaken in disaster-affected Kedarnath on a war footing. The Chief Minister has taken concrete steps for improving the level of basic facilities to mitigate the migration of people from the mountainous regions of the State. For the first time, an industrial policy has been drafted for the mountainous region with the State Government deciding to provide unprecedented grant for electricity, travel, VAT and other heads in order to attract investment in the tourism sector,” added the party spokesman.
