Uttarakhand CM Dhami urges diaspora: Adopt village to help solve migration issue

“Sectors such as adventure tourism, power generation, aromatic products, manufacturing, agriculture, horticulture, herbal products, AYUSH and wellness are key areas for investment. Significant policy and structural reforms have been undertaken to establish Uttarakhand as a prime investment destination… Rankings by NITI Aayog affirm this progress,” he said.

He urged the diaspora to contribute to solving the critical issue of migration by adopting and developing villages and towns in the state. He laid stress on the importance of their skills, experience and technical expertise in realising the state’s aspirations.

The Chief Minister also announced the formation of a diaspora cell for better coordination and support for expatriates and plans to establish a venture fund soon.

Diaspora members, too, spoke of adopting villages or sponsoring children to address the migration issue.
