UTTARAKHAND, July 19: In the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, at the Uttarakhand Investment Utsav-2025 organized in Rudrapur on Saturday, the Pushkar Singh Dhami government celebrated the successful grounding (bringing onto the ground/implementation) of investments worth ?1 lakh crore that have materialized in Uttarakhand after the Global Investors Summit held in December 2023. On this occasion, the Home Minister lavishly praised the State Government's efforts and assured full assistance from the Central Government. While addressing the Uttarakhand Investment Utsav - 2025 at the Sports Stadium in Rudrapur, Home Minister Amit Shah referred to the valedictory session of the Uttarakhand Global Investors Summit held in December 2023 and said that at that time he had told Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami that the State Government's real achievement would be to bring the ?3.56 lakh crore worth of MoUs signed at the summit down to the ground (into implementation). He said he is now pleased that, despite many challenges, the Chief Minister's team has brought investment of ?1 lakh crore to the ground. This has cleared the way for the creation of 81,000 new jobs. In addition, through ancillary industries, there is hope for generating more than 2.5 lakh (250,000) additional new jobs. The Home Minister said that industries are also being set up in Uttarakhand's secondary and tertiary (Tier-2 and Tier-3) cities. The State Government, while establishing a balance between development and the environment, has succeeded in drawing a new blueprint for growth with transparency in policy, speed in implementation, and farsightedness in vision. He said that the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government created three new states-Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh. Today all three are standing on their own feet. After 2014, since the Modi Government came to power at the Centre, there has been a continuous "double-engine" government in Uttarakhand.
