Congratulating the newly appointed candidates, CM Dhami said that by discharging their duties with honesty, integrity, and dedication, they will play a crucial role in realizing Uttarakhand’s resolve to become a developed, self-reliant, and one of the leading states in the country.
He also stated that quality, reliable, and timely data is the foundation for effective planning, implementation, and evaluation of schemes. The Department of Economics and Statistics plays a crucial role as the nodal department for data collection and analysis in the state.
He urged Assistant Statistical Officers to assess the impact of all government schemes and policies and provide real-time feedback to the system, so that necessary reform measures can be taken in a timely manner. The Chief Minister stated that over 26,500 youth have been provided government service opportunities through a transparent process in the last four and a half years, which is more than double the number achieved during the tenure of previous governments since the state’s formation.
He stated that the government has cracked down on counterfeiting and implemented strict anti-counterfeiting laws, ensuring transparency, speed, and reliability in recruitment processes. Additionally, schemes such as the Chief Minister’s Self-Employment Scheme, the new Startup and Entrepreneurship Policy, the new Tourism Policy, agriculture and fruit production, and homestays have created employment and self-employment opportunities in the state, leading to an increase in reverse migration figures in the state.
