State Minister Saurabh Bahuguna has welcomed the Uttarakhand government’s decision to hold a cabinet meeting in Champawat, saying development must reach every section of society.
Speaking in Champawat, Bahuguna said the meeting in one of the state’s smaller border districts reflected an approach centred on inclusion and participation. He expressed hope that its decisions would support women, youth and employment opportunities across Uttarakhand.
Inclusive development as the stated objective
Bahuguna said the government’s approach was aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s emphasis on taking everyone together, building trust and ensuring public participation. He said the same model should guide Uttarakhand’s development.
The minister referred to Uttarakhand’s 12.5 million people and said the state could become empowered only when its individual residents were empowered. He also linked the state’s progress to the participation of people from every community, caste and social section.
His remarks placed the Champawat meeting within a broader argument for balanced development beyond the state’s larger or more prominent centres. The statement did not provide details of the cabinet agenda or specify the decisions expected from the meeting.
Focus on women, youth and jobs
Bahuguna said the meeting’s outcomes should advance the interests of Uttarakhand’s women, referred to in his remarks as “Matrushakti”, as well as young people. He also highlighted the need to expand employment opportunities.
The minister’s comments described these areas as important measures of the state’s empowerment. However, no specific scheme, financial allocation, employment target or cabinet proposal was announced in the available statement.
Champawat’s role as the venue gave the meeting significance in Bahuguna’s remarks because he identified it as a smaller border district. He presented the location as consistent with an effort to connect different parts of Uttarakhand with the development process.
Conclusion
Bahuguna’s statement supports an inclusive development focus for Uttarakhand and calls for the cabinet meeting’s decisions to benefit women, youth and employment. The specific measures will depend on the decisions taken at the meeting.
