Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said 10 Silver Jubilee Parks, including one in Rishikesh, have been inaugurated and dedicated to the public across the state.
The announcement was made in remarks carried by a video circulating on social media and attributed to ANI. Dhami said the parks were conceived as a public development initiative linked to Uttarakhand’s 2025 silver jubilee year, rather than as projects limited to commemorative celebrations.
Parks planned for different age groups
According to Dhami, the parks are designed for use by people across age groups. Children will have space to play, while elderly residents will have areas to relax.
He also said women would be able to use the parks for activities including yoga, meditation and recreation. The chief minister did not provide details in the remarks about the individual locations, facilities or operating arrangements for the 10 parks.
The Rishikesh park is among those inaugurated. Its opening gives residents and visitors in the city access to a public space developed under the state’s Silver Jubilee Parks initiative, although no further site-specific details were provided.
Silver jubilee linked to public development
Dhami said 2025 marked the silver jubilee year of Uttarakhand’s formation. He said the government wanted the milestone to produce tangible development on the ground, leading to the decision to create parks across the entire state.
The initiative, as described by the chief minister, combines recreation, relaxation and wellness activities in shared public spaces. The available announcement does not specify the total area, construction cost or timeline for any individual park.
Dhami also referred to continued guidance and support from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Central Government. He said the Prime Minister sent his best wishes and a message on the occasion of Uttarakhand’s foundation day.
According to Dhami, that message highlighted work carried out in Uttarakhand, including initiatives associated with the “double-engine” government. The remarks did not list the specific initiatives mentioned in the Prime Minister’s message.
For residents, the immediate development is the opening of 10 parks intended for public use. Further information about their locations, amenities and management will be needed to assess how the facilities will serve local communities.
Conclusion
Dhami said 10 Silver Jubilee Parks, including one in Rishikesh, have been opened to the public as part of Uttarakhand’s effort to mark its 2025 statehood milestone through tangible development.
