										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami participated as the chief guest at the Kumaon Dwar Mahotsav in Haldwani, where he underscored the significance of preserving the state&#8217;s folk culture and fostering a connection between younger generations and their cultural heritage. He articulated the government&#8217;s commitment to safeguarding Uttarakhand&#8217;s identity, creating job opportunities, and ensuring that development benefits all residents across the state.</h4>
<h4>During his address, Dhami welcomed the attendees and commended the organisers for their efforts in promoting traditional music, dance, and folk arts of Uttarakhand. He remarked that cultural events are vital for transmitting local traditions to the youth. Describing Haldwani as the &#8220;gateway to Kumaon,&#8221; he noted the city&#8217;s importance to the hill communities and its role as a platform for showcasing the region&#8217;s cultural heritage.</h4>
<h4>Dhami highlighted the large turnout at the festival as indicative of the people&#8217;s enduring connection to their cultural roots. He also acknowledged the contributions of the Vaidehi Cultural Education and Art Foundation, which aims to introduce young individuals to Uttarakhand&#8217;s heritage through folk singing and dancing.</h4>
<h1>Diversity of Folk Culture and State Identity</h1>
<h4>The Chief Minister elaborated on the rich diversity of Uttarakhand&#8217;s folk culture, asserting that its songs and dances encapsulate aspects of mountain life, natural surroundings, seasonal changes, local beliefs, and historical narratives. He mentioned traditional dance forms such as Chholiya, Jhora, Chanchari, and Barda Nati, alongside folk singing styles including Beda, Mangal, and Chaiti songs.</h4>
<h4>Additionally, he referred to traditional musical instruments like the dhol, damau, turri, bhankora, and ransingha, noting that their sounds reflect the region&#8217;s lifestyle and cultural practices. Dhami acknowledged that digital technology and social media have facilitated the outreach of Uttarakhand&#8217;s folk music, enabling it to reach audiences beyond the state and even internationally. He welcomed the increasing interest among the youth in traditional music.</h4>
<h4>On the topic of state identity, Dhami expressed discontent with remarks that label people from Uttarakhand as infiltrators, voicing concerns regarding the dignity and self-respect of the state&#8217;s residents. He reaffirmed that protecting the cultural identity of Devbhoomi is a priority for the government, citing measures such as the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code and stricter laws against illegal activities.</h4>
<h1>Government Initiatives for Youth and Public Welfare</h1>
<h4>Dhami mentioned that the government is also dedicated to securing the future of young people through transparent recruitment processes. He referred to the state&#8217;s anti-copying law, which aims to combat examination malpractice, stating that over 35,000 young individuals have obtained government jobs through fair selection processes in the past five years. He recalled the Rampratap Tiraha firing incident during the Uttarakhand statehood movement, emphasising the importance of remembering the sacrifices made by those involved.</h4>
<h4>He stressed that public statements regarding the people of Uttarakhand should consider this historical context and respect their self-esteem. In reference to National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, Dhami called for political statements concerning national security to be made responsibly, without reducing them to mere political exchanges.</h4>
<h4>Regarding the Ankita Bhandari case, the Chief Minister stated that ensuring justice for the young woman is a serious obligation. He urged that discussions should remain centred on the judicial process, facts, and evidence, while also warning against using sensitive cases for political advantage or making unfounded allegations.</h4>
<h4>Dhami concluded by reiterating the government&#8217;s broader objective of extending development to all citizens, providing opportunities for the youth, and supporting the empowerment of women and girls. He expressed confidence that public participation would facilitate progress in development, cultural preservation, and public welfare in Uttarakhand.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has revealed plans for a 100 Miles Himalayan Endurance Ultra Run, scheduled for the first week of May 2027. The event will commence at Mana Pass, a high-altitude location situated at approximately 5,600 metres, and will traverse through significant landmarks such as Badrinath and Joshimath before concluding at Auli. This announcement was made during Dhami&#8217;s participation in the Adi Kailash Parikrama Run 2.0, held in Gunji, a border area of the Pithoragarh district, on Sunday.</h4>
<h4>The ultra run aims to attract both domestic and international runners to experience Uttarakhand’s challenging Himalayan terrain. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance adventure tourism in the state&#8217;s border regions, which are known for their natural beauty and cultural significance.</h4>
<h4>During the event, Dhami honoured the winners of the 70-km and 42-km categories, acknowledging their efforts and encouraging participants who had travelled from various states to take part. He emphasised that competing in the high Himalayas requires not only physical stamina but also mental resilience, given the difficult terrain, adverse weather conditions, and low oxygen levels.</h4>
<h1>Focus on Border Tourism</h1>
<h4>Chief Minister Dhami highlighted that the Adi Kailash Parikrama Run serves as a platform to promote the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Uttarakhand’s border areas. The inaugural edition of the event in 2023 saw participation from over 700 runners, indicating a growing interest in such activities. Dhami noted that the increase in Inner Line Permits issued for the Adi Kailash region compared to the previous year reflects a rising enthusiasm among tourists and pilgrims.</h4>
<h4>The state government aims to leverage tourism as a means to bolster local economies and create employment opportunities for youth in remote areas. Dhami pointed out that events like the ultra run can stimulate local businesses, including homestays, transport services, and food establishments, thereby enhancing the economic landscape of these regions.</h4>
<h4>Additionally, he referred to the Centre’s Vibrant Villages Programme, which focuses on improving infrastructure and livelihood opportunities in border settlements. This initiative aligns with the state’s objective of promoting sustainable tourism in these areas.</h4>
<h1>Wider Adventure Tourism Initiatives</h1>
<h4>Uttarakhand is actively promoting a variety of adventure activities, including trekking, mountaineering, river rafting, kayaking, paragliding, mountain cycling, and angling. Earlier this year, an ultra-running event was also organised in Niti Valley, demonstrating the state&#8217;s commitment to expanding adventure tourism. Popular tourist destinations such as Auli, Munsiyari, Rishikesh, and Tehri are being developed to accommodate a wider range of adventure activities.</h4>
<h4>Dhami stated that the unique Himalayan landscape and rich cultural heritage present significant opportunities for tourism growth while simultaneously supporting local livelihoods. The government’s focus on adventure tourism is intended to attract more visitors, thereby enhancing the overall economic development of the region.</h4>
<h4>During the event in Gunji, members of the Rang community welcomed the chief minister in traditional attire. Dhami also recognised the contributions of personnel from the Indian Army, Indo-Tibetan Border Police, and Sashastra Seema Bal for their support in organising the event. Among those present were Ashok Singh Nabiyal, vice-chairman of the Uttarakhand Tribal Advisory Council, tourism secretary Dhiraj Singh Garbyal, chief development officer Dr Deepak Saini, security personnel, local representatives, and various officials.</h4>

The ultra run is scheduled for the first week of May next year and will commence at Mana Pass, situated at an altitude of approximately 5,600 metres.</h4>
<h4>The race will traverse notable locations including Badrinath and Joshimath before concluding at Auli. During the event, the Chief Minister recognised the achievements of participants in the 70-km and 42-km races, commending runners from various states across India for their remarkable endurance and spirit.</h4>
<h4>Dhami remarked that competing in such challenging conditions, characterised by extreme weather and low oxygen levels, requires exceptional courage and determination. He emphasised the significance of these events in promoting the region&#8217;s adventure tourism potential.</h4>
<h1>Promoting Uttarakhand&#8217;s Border Regions</h1>
<h4>According to Chief Minister Dhami, the Adi Kailash Parikrama Run serves as a vital platform to highlight the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Uttarakhand’s border regions. He noted that over 700 runners participated in the inaugural event in 2025, which has helped to bring attention to the adventure tourism capabilities of the Adi Kailash area.</h4>
<h4>Furthermore, Dhami indicated that the number of Inner Line Permits issued for the Adi Kailash region has significantly increased from the previous year, reflecting a growing interest among tourists and pilgrims. This surge in tourism is expected to contribute positively to local economies.</h4>
<h4>The 100 Miles Himalayan Endurance Ultra Run aims to further elevate long-distance running in Uttarakhand’s high-altitude terrain. The planned route will allow both domestic and international runners to experience the unique geography and breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas.</h4>
<h1>Impact on Local Economies and Employment</h1>
<h4>Chief Minister Dhami highlighted the potential of tourism to bolster local economies and address migration issues in Uttarakhand&#8217;s border areas. Events like the Adi Kailash Parikrama Run create economic opportunities for various sectors, including homestays, local guiding services, transport providers, hotels, and food businesses.</h4>
<h4>The government is committed to ensuring that the benefits of tourism extend to local communities, fostering sustainable livelihoods. Dhami mentioned that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#8217;s leadership, there is a shift in perspective regarding border villages, recognising them as vital components of the nation.</h4>
<h4>In alignment with the Vibrant Villages Programme, initiatives are underway to enhance infrastructure, promote tourism, and expand livelihood opportunities in these strategically important areas. This approach aims to create a more sustainable future for the region&#8217;s inhabitants.</h4>
<h1>Expanding Adventure Tourism in Uttarakhand</h1>
<h4>Dhami stated that the state government is actively promoting a variety of adventure activities, including trekking, mountaineering, river rafting, kayaking, paragliding, mountain biking, and angling. An ultra-running event was successfully conducted in the Niti Valley earlier this year, and efforts are being made to broaden adventure tourism across several destinations, such as Auli, Munsiyari, Rishikesh, and Tehri.</h4>
<h4>Uttarakhand&#8217;s unique Himalayan geography, stunning landscapes, and rich cultural heritage provide a distinctive advantage for adventure tourism. The government aims to harness this potential to stimulate economic growth, create job opportunities, and support sustainable livelihoods for local communities.</h4>
<h4>Upon his arrival in Gunji, Chief Minister Dhami received a traditional welcome from members of the Rang community, showcasing the region&#8217;s cultural heritage. He also acknowledged the contributions of the Indian Army, Indo-Tibetan Border Police, and Sashastra Seema Bal in facilitating the event, highlighting their role in safeguarding national borders and supporting community initiatives.</h4>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>The former Chief Minister of Uttarakhand Harish Rawat has expressed a preference for mandua, a traditional grain, over the more commonly known momo. Mandua, also known as finger millet, holds a significant place in the culinary landscape of Uttarakhand, often being used in various local dishes. This choice reflects not only a personal taste but also an inclination towards promoting regional foods that are rich in nutrients and cultural heritage.</h4>
<h4>Mandua is praised for its health benefits, including its high fibre content and low glycaemic index, making it a suitable option for those seeking healthier dietary choices. The grain is often ground into flour and used to prepare a variety of dishes, from rotis to puddings. By choosing mandua, the former CM aims to highlight the importance of traditional grains that have sustained local populations for generations.</h4>
<h4>The promotion of mandua can also be seen as part of a broader initiative to encourage the consumption of indigenous crops, which are often more resilient to climate change and require fewer resources to cultivate. This aligns with ongoing efforts in the state to enhance food security and support local farmers.</h4>
<h1>Popularity of Momos in Indian Cuisine</h1>
<h4>While mandua is gaining recognition, momos remain a popular choice across India, particularly in the northern regions. These dumplings, typically filled with vegetables or meat, have become a staple street food and are enjoyed by many. Their versatility allows for various fillings and cooking methods, including steaming and frying, which contribute to their widespread appeal.</h4>
<h4>The former CM&#8217;s preference for mandua over momos may also serve as a commentary on the growing trend of fast food consumption, which often overshadows traditional dishes. As modern lifestyles evolve, there is a risk that local cuisines could be neglected in favour of quicker, more convenient options. By advocating for mandua, the former CM seeks to encourage a return to traditional eating habits that celebrate local ingredients.</h4>
<h4>Additionally, the rise of momos has led to a burgeoning market, with numerous eateries and food stalls dedicated to this dish. However, the emphasis on mandua could help balance this trend by drawing attention to the nutritional value and cultural significance of lesser-known foods. This shift may foster a greater appreciation for regional cuisines among the public.</h4>
<h1>Encouraging Local Agriculture and Sustainability</h1>
<h4>The former CM&#8217;s choice also underscores the importance of supporting local agriculture. Mandua is often cultivated by small-scale farmers in Uttarakhand, and promoting its consumption can provide these farmers with a viable market. This not only helps sustain local economies but also encourages the preservation of traditional farming practices.</h4>
<h4>By prioritising mandua, there is potential for increased awareness regarding sustainable agricultural practices. The cultivation of traditional grains like mandua can contribute to biodiversity and soil health, which are crucial for long-term food security. The former CM&#8217;s advocacy may inspire others to consider the environmental impact of their food choices.</h4>
<h4>Moreover, this initiative could lead to collaborative efforts between government bodies and local organisations aimed at enhancing the visibility of traditional foods. Workshops, cooking classes, and community events could be organised to educate the public about the benefits of mandua and other indigenous crops, fostering a sense of pride in local heritage.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>दलेर मेहंदी के हालिया शो को लेकर विवाद थमने का नाम नहीं ले रहा है। सिंगर मीका सिंह अपने भाई दलेर मेहंदी पर नशे में परफॉर्म करने के आरोपों से बेहद नाराज हैं। उन्होंने उत्तराखंड के मंत्री सुबोध उनियाल पर सवाल उठाते हुए कहा है कि उन्हें माफी मांगनी चाहिए। मीका ने इस मामले में मुख्यमंत्री पुष्कर सिंह धामी से भी एक्शन लेने की मांग की है ताकि कलाकारों की गरिमा बनी रहे।</h5>
<h2>मीका का सीधा सवाल: क्या नियम सबके लिए बराबर नहीं?</h2>
<h5>मीका सिंह ने सोशल मीडिया पर एक पोस्ट के जरिए अपनी नाराजगी जताई। उन्होंने कहा कि अगर दलेर मेहंदी ने एक घंटे 30 मिनट तक परफॉर्म किया, तो उन पर शराब पीकर परफॉर्म करने का आरोप लगाना गलत है। मीका ने कहा, &#8220;सर, मैं आपको वीडियो भेजता हूँ। आप खुद देखिए कि वहां क्या हुआ था। अगर वीडियो में आपके मंत्री जी शराब पीकर आए हुए दिखाई देते हैं, तो फिर आप उनके खिलाफ क्या कार्रवाई करेंगे?&#8221;</h5>
<h2>बीजेपी प्रवक्ता का बयान: दलेर को माफी मांगनी चाहिए</h2>
<h5>इस विवाद में बीजेपी प्रदेश सह मीडिया प्रभारी विनय गोयल ने भी अपनी बात रखी। उन्होंने कहा कि दलेर मेहंदी के प्रशंसक होने के बावजूद, नवरात्रि के दौरान मां कुंजापुरी के धार्मिक आयोजन में ऐसे दृश्य श्रद्धालुओं की भावनाओं को आहत करते हैं। गोयल ने कहा कि अगर दलेर की तबीयत ठीक नहीं थी, तो आयोजकों को पहले ही जानकारी देनी चाहिए थी।</h5>
<h2>मीका का फ्री शो का प्रस्ताव</h2>
<h5>मीका सिंह ने विनय गोयल के बयान का जवाब देते हुए कहा कि वह उत्तराखंड आकर फ्री में शो करेंगे, लेकिन पहले सुबोध उनियाल को दलेर मेहंदी से माफी मांगनी होगी। उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि दलेर ने अपनी परफॉर्मेंस के दौरान दर्शकों के साथ डांस किया था, फिर भी उन पर गलत आरोप लगाया गया।</h5>
<h2>क्या माफी मांगेंगे सुबोध उनियाल?</h2>
<h5>अब सवाल यह है कि क्या सुबोध उनियाल माफी मांगेंगे या नहीं। उन्होंने इस मामले में अपने स्टैंड पर कायम रहते हुए कहा है कि दलेर मेहंदी ने कौन सा नशा किया था, इसकी जांच के लिए मेडिकल नहीं करवाते। इस पूरे मामले पर मुख्यमंत्री धामी का भी रिएक्शन आया है। उन्होंने कहा कि शायद सुबोध उनियाल ने जनता के दबाव में ऐसा कहा।</h5>
<h2>सीएम धामी का बयान: दलेर को अपमानित करने की मंशा नहीं थी</h2>
<h5>मुख्यमंत्री पुष्कर सिंह धामी ने स्पष्ट किया कि उनकी मंशा दलेर मेहंदी को अपमानित करने की नहीं थी। उन्होंने कहा कि वह मीका और दलेर मेहंदी से बात करेंगे ताकि मामले को सुलझाया जा सके। धामी ने कहा कि यह विवाद जल्द ही समाप्त होगा।</h5>
<h2>दर्शकों की भावनाएं और कलाकारों की गरिमा</h2>
<h5>इस पूरे विवाद ने एक बार फिर से कलाकारों की गरिमा और दर्शकों की भावनाओं के बीच संतुलन बनाने की आवश्यकता को उजागर किया है। मीका सिंह का यह बयान न केवल दलेर मेहंदी के समर्थन में है, बल्कि यह एक महत्वपूर्ण सवाल भी उठाता है कि क्या कलाकारों को उनके काम के लिए उचित सम्मान मिल रहा है।</h5>
<h2>आगे क्या होगा?</h2>
<h5>अब देखना यह है कि इस विवाद का समाधान कैसे निकलता है। क्या सुबोध उनियाल माफी मांगेंगे या मीका सिंह का फ्री शो उत्तराखंड में होगा? यह सब समय बताएगा। लेकिन इस मामले ने एक बार फिर से भारतीय संगीत और संस्कृति में कलाकारों की भूमिका को महत्वपूर्ण बना दिया है।</h5>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>On Thursday, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami inaugurated a voice collection portal designed to incorporate Garhwali, Kumaoni, and Jaunsari languages into artificial intelligence frameworks. This initiative is part of the &#8216;Bhasha AI&#8217; programme spearheaded by the AI Strategic Engineering (AiSE) Foundation. During the launch at his camp office, Dhami recorded a voice sample in Kumaoni, marking a significant step towards preserving these regional languages for future generations.</h4>
<h4>The primary goal of this initiative is to create a comprehensive repository of vocabulary, pronunciations, and speaking styles in the three languages. This will enable AI technologies to understand and communicate effectively in Garhwali, Kumaoni, and Jaunsari. CM Dhami highlighted the importance of modern technology in safeguarding Uttarakhand&#8217;s folk languages, arts, culture, and traditions.</h4>
<h4>Dhami stated that languages and dialects form an integral part of the state&#8217;s identity. He stressed the need to leverage technology to elevate Uttarakhand’s linguistic heritage onto digital and global platforms. The Chief Minister expressed a desire for individuals residing in even the most remote areas to access government information in their native languages and communicate their concerns effectively.</h4>
<h1>Focus on Linguistic Diversity</h1>
<h4>During his address, Dhami pointed out the variations in pronunciation of the same word across different regions of Uttarakhand. He noted that the portal&#8217;s collection of these linguistic variations would enhance AI systems&#8217; ability to comprehend the diverse linguistic landscape of Garhwali, Kumaoni, and Jaunsari. This understanding is crucial for ensuring that AI can accurately reflect the local dialects.</h4>
<h4>Sachidanand Semwal, the founder of the AiSE Foundation, will oversee the technical aspects of the project, including data collection, modelling, AI training, and language-model validation. Padma Shri awardee and folk singer Pritam Bhartwan has been appointed as the language expert coordinator, while Shakti Prasad Bhatt will serve as the execution head.</h4>
<h4>Bhartwan emphasised the rich heritage embedded in the state’s local languages, which encompass a variety of folk traditions, songs, and cultural practices. He mentioned that the Jagar Academy would collaborate with the initiative to ensure accurate pronunciation and maintain the authenticity of the languages involved.</h4>
<h1>Long-Term Objectives of the Bhasha AI Initiative</h1>
<h4>The Bhasha AI initiative is focused on collecting words and audio samples from Garhwali, Kumaoni, and Jaunsari languages. The long-term aim is to develop AI-based technologies that can understand and communicate in these regional languages fluently. This effort is expected to bridge the gap between technology and local culture, making it easier for communities to engage with government services in their native tongues.</h4>
<h4>By integrating these languages into AI systems, the initiative seeks to foster a greater appreciation for Uttarakhand&#8217;s linguistic heritage. The project aligns with the government&#8217;s broader objectives of enhancing accessibility and communication for all citizens, regardless of their geographical location.</h4>
<h4>As the project progresses, it is anticipated that the repository created through this initiative will serve as a valuable resource for future technological developments. The successful implementation of the Bhasha AI initiative could set a precedent for similar efforts in other regions, aiming to preserve and promote local languages across India.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>The Char Dham Yatra has now entered its concluding phase, with official reports indicating that over six million pilgrims have visited the revered Himalayan shrines this season. As of Tuesday evening, the total footfall recorded stood at 6,031,017. This figure marks a significant increase compared to previous years, as last year saw over five million pilgrims visiting the Char Dham shrines, while in 2023, the attendance reached more than 5.6 million.</h4>
<h4>The yatra commenced on April 19 and is scheduled to conclude for the winter after the portals of Badrinath Dham are closed on November 16. The high turnout reflects the enduring significance of these sacred sites for devotees from across the country and beyond.</h4>
<h1>Most Visited Shrines This Season</h1>
<h4>Officials have reported that Badrinath Dham has emerged as the most frequented shrine this season, welcoming a total of 2,069,866 pilgrims. Following closely is Kedarnath Dham, which has recorded 1,775,059 visitors. These figures underline the popularity of these destinations among devotees, who travel to seek blessings at these historic temples.</h4>
<h4>Uttarkashi district magistrate Prashant Arya has stated that the administration is actively preparing for the upcoming winter Char Dham Yatra. As the deities transition to their winter abodes—Mukhba for Goddess Ganga and Kharsali for Goddess Yamuna—pilgrims will still have the opportunity to continue their spiritual journeys at these locations. The administration aims to ensure that arrangements are in place to facilitate a smooth experience for all pilgrims during this period.</h4>
<h4>The winter Char Dham Yatra for Kedarnath will commence following the closure of its portals and the arrival of the deity at its winter residence in Ukhimath. This transition is crucial for maintaining the continuity of the pilgrimage experience for devotees who wish to engage in worship during the colder months.</h4>
<h1>Winter Pilgrimage Preparations</h1>
<h4>Rajkumar Tiwari, president of Shree Kedar Sabha Teerth Purohit Samaj in Kedarnath, has highlighted the success of last year&#8217;s winter pilgrimage, which attracted a substantial number of tourists to Ukhimath. He noted that once the deity reaches its winter abode, pilgrims will be able to have continuous darshan throughout the winter season. This includes access to other nearby dhams, such as the Trijugi Narayan temple, which further enriches the pilgrimage experience.</h4>
<h4>The preparations for the winter season are being closely monitored to ensure that all necessary facilities are available for the pilgrims. Various executive agencies have been tasked with making arrangements that prioritise the convenience and safety of visitors, thereby enhancing their overall experience during the pilgrimage.</h4>
<h4>As the Char Dham Yatra progresses towards its conclusion, the focus remains on ensuring a seamless transition into the winter pilgrimage phase. The administration&#8217;s commitment to facilitating a smooth experience for devotees reflects the importance of these sacred sites in the spiritual landscape of India.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>उत्तराखंड में मदरसों में जुमे की छुट्टी खत्म कर दी गई है और अब रविवार को साप्ताहिक अवकाश लागू होगा। मुख्यमंत्री पुष्कर सिंह धामी ने इस निर्णय की जानकारी दी है। उनका कहना है कि प्रदेश में समान नागरिक संहिता लागू है, इसलिए शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में भी सभी के लिए एक समान व्यवस्था होनी चाहिए। इस फैसले पर राजनीतिक प्रतिक्रिया भी सामने आई है।</h5>
<h2>मदरसे की मान्यता पर उठे सवाल</h2>
<h5>इस्लामिक मामलों के जानकार खुर्शीद अहमद ने मदरसों की मान्यता और वहां पढ़ने वाले बच्चों के भविष्य को लेकर कई सवाल उठाए हैं। उपलब्ध आंकड़ों के अनुसार, उत्तराखंड में पहले 452 मदरसे पंजीकृत थे, लेकिन नए प्राधिकरण ने इनमें से केवल 35 को मान्यता दी है। इसके अलावा 19 मदरसों को सील कर दिया गया और 227 मदरसों को उनके संचालकों ने खुद बंद कर दिया। ऐसे में यह सवाल उठता है कि इन संस्थानों में पढ़ने वाले बच्चों की पढ़ाई अब कहां और किस व्यवस्था के तहत जारी है।</h5>
<h2>बंद मदरसों में पढ़ाई का भविष्य</h2>
<h5>खुर्शीद अहमद के अनुसार, मदरसों में साप्ताहिक छुट्टी के मुद्दे पर बहस करने से पहले बच्चों की पढ़ाई से जुड़े सवालों पर ध्यान देना जरूरी है। जब बड़ी संख्या में मदरसे बंद हो चुके हैं और मान्यता प्राप्त संस्थानों की संख्या भी सीमित है, तो यह स्पष्ट होना चाहिए कि वहां पढ़ने वाले बच्चों की शिक्षा का क्या इंतजाम किया गया है।</h5>
<h2>समान नागरिक संहिता का हवाला</h2>
<h5>मुख्यमंत्री धामी ने पुलिस लाइन में आयोजित एक कार्यक्रम के दौरान मीडिया से बातचीत में सरकार के फैसले की वजह बताई। उन्होंने कहा कि उत्तराखंड में समान नागरिक संहिता पहले से लागू है। ऐसे में प्रदेश में सभी के लिए समान नियम और व्यवस्थाएं होनी चाहिए। मुख्यमंत्री ने स्पष्ट किया कि शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में भी इसी सिद्धांत के तहत मदरसों में शुक्रवार की जगह रविवार को साप्ताहिक अवकाश रहेगा।</h5>
<h2>राजनीतिक प्रतिक्रिया और विवाद</h2>
<h5>हालांकि, इस फैसले को लेकर मुस्लिम समाज के कुछ लोगों ने आपत्ति जताई है। उनका कहना है कि मदरसों में शुक्रवार को विशेष नमाज के कारण साप्ताहिक छुट्टी दी जाती थी। इस पर बहस जारी है। कांग्रेस ने भी इस मुद्दे पर प्रतिक्रिया दी है। पार्टी की प्रदेश प्रवक्ता डॉ. प्रतिमा सिंह ने सरकार के कदम को राजनीतिक मुद्दों से जोड़ते हुए आरोप लगाया कि सरकार के पास मस्जिद, मदरसा और मजार के अलावा कोई दूसरा मुद्दा नहीं बचा है।</h5>
<h2>विद्यार्थियों की शिक्षा का सवाल</h2>
<h5>कांग्रेस की प्रवक्ता ने यह सवाल भी उठाया कि जब प्रदेश में मदरसा व्यवस्था में बड़े बदलाव किए जा चुके हैं, तो बाकी बचे मदरसों की स्थिति और उनमें पढ़ने वाले बच्चों के भविष्य पर पर्याप्त ध्यान क्यों नहीं दिया जा रहा है। इस तरह, मदरसों की छुट्टी को लेकर शुरू हुई बहस अब केवल शुक्रवार और रविवार के बीच चुनाव तक सीमित नहीं रह गई है। इसमें संस्थानों की मान्यता, उनके बंद होने और विद्यार्थियों की शिक्षा की निरंतरता जैसे मुद्दे भी शामिल हो गए हैं।</h5>
<h2>बच्चों की पढ़ाई का भविष्य सबसे बड़ा सवाल</h2>
<h5>उत्तराखंड में मदरसों के साप्ताहिक अवकाश में बदलाव के फैसले ने मान्यता और शिक्षा से जुड़े मुद्दों को फिर चर्चा में ला दिया है। सरकार का कहना है कि शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में भी समान व्यवस्था होनी चाहिए। वहीं, खुर्शीद अहमद और कांग्रेस की ओर से मदरसों तथा दूसरे शिक्षण संस्थानों की स्थिति को लेकर सवाल उठाए गए हैं। इस पूरे मामले में सबसे महत्वपूर्ण सवाल उन बच्चों की पढ़ाई का है, जिनके मदरसे बंद हो गए या जिन्हें मान्यता नहीं मिली।</h5>
<h2>क्या व्यवस्था की गई है?</h2>
<h5>उनकी शिक्षा जारी रखने के लिए क्या व्यवस्था की गई है और क्या उनका दूसरे शिक्षण संस्थानों में दाखिला हुआ है, इन सवालों के स्पष्ट जवाब सामने आना बाकी है। ऐसे में शुक्रवार की जगह रविवार को छुट्टी देने का फैसला चर्चा के केंद्र में जरूर है, लेकिन इसके साथ ही विद्यार्थियों की शिक्षा और उनके भविष्य से जुड़े सवाल भी अहम बने हुए हैं।</h5>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>The Times of India Sports Awards (TOISA) is set to return for its ninth edition on December 6, 2026, in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. This annual event celebrates the achievements of Indian athletes across various sports disciplines. The ceremony aims to recognise outstanding performances during a year that has witnessed significant multi-sport events, including the Commonwealth Games held in Glasgow and the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya.</h4>
<h4>The TOISA 2026 will highlight the accomplishments of Indian athletes, particularly in light of their performances in both the Commonwealth and Asian Games. The event serves as a platform to honour the dedication and hard work of sportsmen and sportswomen who have excelled at national and international levels.</h4>
<h4>With a focus on promoting sports and encouraging future generations, TOISA continues to play a vital role in the Indian sports landscape. The awards not only recognise individual achievements but also celebrate team efforts that contribute to the country&#8217;s sporting legacy.</h4>
<h1>Achievements at the Asian Games and Commonwealth Games</h1>
<h4>India&#8217;s participation in the Asian Games was marked by a commendable performance, with the country finishing fourth in the overall medal tally. Indian athletes collectively secured 85 medals, which included 21 gold medals. This achievement was bolstered by strong contributions from various disciplines such as archery, shooting, boxing, wrestling, and athletics.</h4>
<h4>Notably, Indian teams excelled in hockey, clinching gold medals in both the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s competitions. Archery emerged as one of the strongest areas for India, yielding five gold medals. In addition, the sports of shooting and boxing each contributed three gold medals, while wrestling added two to the tally. The performances of Indian women in both individual and team events were particularly noteworthy during this campaign.</h4>
<h4>At the Commonwealth Games, India also secured a fourth-place finish, amassing a total of 39 medals, which comprised 13 gold, 17 silver, and nine bronze. Disciplines such as weightlifting, wrestling, and athletics played a significant role in achieving this medal count, showcasing the depth of talent in Indian sports.</h4>
<h1>Significance of the TOISA and Future Announcements</h1>
<h4>The ninth edition of the Times of India Sports Awards aims to honour the remarkable achievements of Indian sportsmen and sportswomen, building on the legacy of the previous eight editions. Each year, TOISA has recognised the contributions of athletes and teams who have excelled in various competitions, both domestically and internationally.</h4>
<h4>As the event approaches, further details regarding the award categories, jury members, and nomination processes will be disclosed. This information is anticipated by sports enthusiasts and stakeholders alike, as it will provide insights into the selection criteria and the scope of recognition for athletes.</h4>
<h4>In addition to the awards, the event will serve as a reminder of the ongoing commitment to sports in India. The TOISA provides an opportunity for the sports community to come together, celebrate achievements, and inspire future generations to pursue excellence in their respective fields.</h4>
<h4>As the date approaches, updates regarding the Asian Games 2026, including medal tallies and schedules, will be made available. The TOISA continues to be a significant event in the Indian sports calendar, reinforcing the importance of recognising and celebrating sporting excellence.</h4>
