CM Pushkar Dhami announces 26,000 govt jobs in Uttarakhand, new projects for Kedarnath & Badrinath, and Rs 1 lakh crore investments in 25 years.

Dehradun:  Pushkar Dhami, the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, said that the state has added 26,000 government jobs in the last four years and the number will rise to at least 36,000 by next year.

At a press conference to kick off the silver anniversary celebrations for the founding of Uttarakhand, Dhami disclosed the numbers.

“There have been a few tests, but the results have not yet been made public.” He remarked, “With all of this, there will be 10,000 to 12,000 more recruits in the next year.”

Dhami added that now is the ideal time to talk about the state’s accomplishments because Uttarakhand will have been around for 25 years on November 9.

He claimed that Uttarakhand was the first state in the country to put the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) into effect. This made land laws stronger, laws against forced conversion, laws against riots, and laws against counterfeiting.

He claimed that the state guarantees 10% of government jobs for the families of people who fought for statehood and 30% for women.
