Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India]: In a bid to strengthen grassroots governance and foster transparent communication, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday launched the “Mukhya Sevak Samvad” scheme — a first-of-its-kind initiative designed to establish direct dialogue with beneficiaries of government schemes and assess their on-ground impact.
Key Objectives of Mukhya Sevak Samvad:
- Ensure real-time feedback from citizens availing various welfare schemes
- Identify gaps in implementation and improve delivery systems
- Promote transparency, accountability, and citizen engagement
“Through Mukhya Sevak Samvad, we aim to ensure that no citizen is left unheard and every government scheme is effectively reaching those in need,” said CM Dhami.
‘Gaon Se Global Tak: Home Stay Samvad’ – Empowering Rural Tourism:
Also held on Monday was the ‘Home Stay Samvad’ session, bringing together home stay operators from remote villages of Uttarakhand.
They shared experiences, challenges, and feedback directly with the CM — shaping future rural tourism policy.
Operators lauded the home stay scheme, crediting it with:
- Creating employment opportunities in hilly and border regions
- Enabling economic self-reliance in rural communities
- Bringing dignity and stability to local livelihoods
Visionary Rural Policies:
The operators acknowledged CM Dhami’s strong commitment to rural upliftment, with many calling the home stay initiative a “cornerstone of social and economic change” in Uttarakhand.
Civil Services Day Tribute:
Earlier in the day, CM Dhami also congratulated civil service officers on Civil Services Day, recognizing their crucial role in delivering public services and advancing the state’s development vision.
“The dream of a developed Uttarakhand and India is possible only with the relentless service of our dedicated officers,” Dhami stated.
Livestock Farmers Boosted via ITBP Partnership:
In a separate move empowering border communities, the Animal Husbandry Department inked a direct supply agreement between local livestock farmers and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP).
In just five months, 253 farmers from four border districts have earned ₹2.6 crore through this initiative — further proving the government’s commitment to self-reliant village economies.
