Chief Minister Dhami said that under the 'Chief Minister Mahila Swarojgar Yojana', more than 30,000 women have been provided self-employment opportunities, which has strengthened their economic condition and made them self-reliant.
On Wednesday, CM Dhami chaired a review meeting of the Agriculture, Horticulture, Cooperatives, Silk, Aromatic Plant Center, Sugarcane, and Tea Production Board at the State Secretariat in Dehradun.

"Under the guidance of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, the state government has taken forward many development works in a period of three years. New works have also started and the Uttarakhand government is at the top on the parameters of development in the whole country. In 2020, the state came first in the ranking of NITI Aayog. The unemployment rate has come down by 4.4%. Investment has come to Uttarakhand in large amounts. Employment is being created. Many innovative works have progressed. Many historic decisions have been taken in these three years, whether it is the first implementation of Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the country after independence or the implementation of anti-cheating law," CM Dhami told reporters.
