Chief Minister Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami on Sunday attended Raksha Bandhan 2025 celebrations at Harbans Kapoor Memorial Community Hall, Garhi Cantt, Dehradun in the presence of Union Minister of Culture and Tourism Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat. Extending Raksha Bandhan greetings and best wishes to the mothers and sisters present in large numbers from across the state, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami expressed gratitude to all the people of Uttarakhand for their massive support in the Panchayat elections.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that with the love and blessings of the mother power of Uttarakhand, he is getting a lot of energy to serve the state more. He said that the festival of Raksha Bandhan is not only a symbol of mutual love, affection and trust but also a festival to make us realize our social duties which reminds us of our duties towards our sisters. The Chief Minister said that today the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is continuously working towards making the daughters and women of the country capable, empowered and self-reliant in every way. On the one hand, the Modi government is trying to make the daughters and women of the country self-reliant through various schemes like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Yojana, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana and Ujjwala Yojana.
The Chief Minister said that along with ending the evil practice of triple talaq, the government has also worked to empower women through the Nari Shakti Vandana Act, construction of toilets, priority to women under the housing scheme, increase in maternity leave and opening the way for army and sainik schools for daughters. As a result, the women of the country are playing an important role in every field, from growing grains in the field to being a part of space programs, from bringing medals in sports to commanding in the army.
The Chief Minister said that under the guidance of the Prime Minister, our state government is also working resolutely for the upliftment and empowerment of the mother power. We have tried to ensure maximum participation of the mother power in the field of employment by giving 30 percent horizontal reservation to the women of the state in government jobs. To make the women of the state financially empowered and self-reliant, we have provided financial assistance of crores of rupees to self-help groups. The products made by the women of the state are reaching every corner of the world today through our “House of Himalayas Brand.”
The Chief Minister said that the women groups have achieved immense success in the field of entrepreneurship on the strength of their hard work and self-confidence. Under the Lakhpati Didi scheme in our state, more than 1.63 lakh sisters in the state have become Lakhpati Didi, which shows that the sisters of the state are no less than anyone. More than 30 thousand women have benefited from the Mukhyamantri Sashakt Bahana Utsav Yojana launched to promote the livelihood of women groups and have earned more than Rs 5 crore. Speaking on the occasion, Union Minister of Culture and Tourism Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said that under the leadership of the Prime Minister, he has got the opportunity to work on important schemes related to the welfare of women like Har Ghar Shauchalaya and Jal Jeevan Mission.
Under the guidance of the Prime Minister, unprecedented work is being done for women empowerment across the country. All the schemes are being made keeping women at the centre. The central and state government has worked to connect the handicraft products made by the women of the remote and marginal areas of Uttarakhand with the national and international markets. Cabinet Minister Shri Ganesh Joshi, Vice President of BJP Yuva Morcha Smt Neha Joshi and a large number of women from across the state were present on the occasion.
