Uttarakhand's Chief Minister, Pushkar Singh Dhami, has taken significant strides in economic growth and infrastructure by urging officials to promote locally manufactured goods, a move aimed at invigorating the state's economy and promoting the Swadeshi movement.
In a recent meeting, Dhami emphasized that prioritizing local products aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a self-reliant India, boosting employment prospects and self-sufficiency among the youth. In parallel, new heli services under the Udan scheme will enhance connectivity with a Pithoragarh-Munsyari route expected to debut by September 30.
This development comes as Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu confirmed Heritage Aviation's role in operating these services, marking a significant step forward. Concurrently, plans for additional heli routes and a feasibility study for a special train service underscore the state's commitment to connectivity and economic growth.
