In the program, the Governor also presented letters of appreciation to the paramilitary force personnel and officers. The Governor said that Uttarakhand is the land of heroes. Which is also called Devbhoomi as well as Veerbhoomi. Many brave sons here have given their supreme sacrifice for the protection of the country. He said that Uttarakhand’s contribution to the Indian Army is about 18 percent, which shows that this state is really a strong backbone of the country’s defense.
