Readying the State for a Nationwide Forum
At her Yamuna Colony residence in Dehradun, Uttarakhand’s Minister for Women Empowerment and Child Development, Rekha Arya, brought together senior officials to fine‑tune the state’s showcase for the two‑day national departmental conference slated for 8‑9 October in New Delhi.
Core Pillars to Be Highlighted
The presentation will centre on Uttarakhand’s flagship initiatives covering women’s safety, economic empowerment, nutritional support, Anganwadi services and child protection. Teams were tasked with crafting a vivid narrative that captures the state’s progress and pioneering interventions.
Insights from Fellow States
Arya underscored that the conference offers a valuable platform to glean best‑practice models from other regions. By analysing successful programmes elsewhere, Uttarakhand aims to sharpen the delivery of its own welfare schemes.
Minister’s Vision and Central Guidance
Calling the event a matter of pride, the minister noted that the summit will conclude with Prime Minister Narendra Modi sharing his outlook. Arya believes his perspective could shape future strategies for women’s and child welfare nationwide.
Key Officials Steering the Review
The coordination meeting featured Secretary Chandresh Kumar Yadav, Additional Secretary Karmendra Singh, Director Banshilal Rana and other senior officers, who examined the presentation outline and logistical arrangements in detail.
