Dehradun: The first International Migrant Conference of Uttarakhand is being organized by the Uttarakhand government on January 12 (one day).

The conference will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. In the conference, panel discussions will also be held in four different sessions on the possibility of investment in Uttarakhand, hospitality – wellness, skill development, employment abroad and higher education as well as the possibility in garden herbs.
Many big names attending the conference
Many expatriate Uttarakhandis who have earned a name in different fields while living abroad are attending this conference, including Girish Chandra Pant from Dubai, recipient of Pravasi Bharatiya Samman, Dev Raturi from China, Dr. Anita Sharma from America, Bhuvan Tiwari from Japan, Sunil Thapliyal from Singapore, Meenakshi Dabral and Dr. AK Kala from Thailand. Many expatriates will also participate in the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas being organized by the Government of India in Bhubaneswar. For detailed information about the program, the website https://pravasiuttarakhandi.uk.gov.in/en/program has also been started.
Started with the initiative of Chief Minister Dhami
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami himself has taken the initiative to connect the expatriate Uttarakhandis living abroad with their soil. In fact, before the Investors Summit held in December 2023, CM Dhami went on a foreign tour, where the migrants welcomed him with the customs of Uttarakhand. During this time, many successful people met the Chief Minister.
Migrant Uttarakhandi cell was formed
After this, Chief Minister Dhami directed to form a Migrant Uttarakhandi cell in the government as well as organize an International Migrant Uttarakhandi Conference to take advantage of the experience of such migrants. In this sequence, on November 7, a similar conference has been organized in Dehradun among the Uttarakhandis living in different states within the country.
