On September 16, 2026, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami attended the “Yuva Sankalp Diwas” programme at Rangers Ground in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. This event coincided with his birthday, which he celebrated alongside the youth, expressing gratitude for their involvement. Dhami described their engagement as the most significant gift he could receive on this occasion.

During the programme, CM Dhami visited a photo exhibition organised at the venue, highlighting the achievements and aspirations of the youth in the state. He noted that the energy and determination exhibited by the younger generation serve as a source of inspiration for him.

In his address, the Chief Minister articulated his belief that today’s youth will be instrumental in achieving Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a developed India by the centenary of its independence in 2047. He mentioned that the youth will lead various sectors of development, making invaluable contributions to both the state and the nation.

Government Initiatives for Youth Empowerment

Dhami elaborated on the state’s commitment to providing the youth with opportunities for growth and development. He emphasised the importance of creating a transparent environment where young individuals can thrive. The Chief Minister highlighted that the government is focused on generating new opportunities across multiple sectors, including education, skill development, and entrepreneurship.

He stated that the government’s aim is to ensure that the youth do not have to leave their hometowns in search of better prospects. The initiative encourages young individuals to become job creators rather than solely job seekers, fostering a spirit of entrepreneurship within the community.

In addition to existing sectors, CM Dhami pointed out the growing significance of modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and digital innovations. He mentioned that the state government is prioritising skill development in alignment with future market needs, offering youth the tools required to succeed.

Establishment of the State Youth Commission and Social Awareness

One notable initiative is the establishment of the State Youth Commission, aimed at integrating the aspirations of the youth into policy-making processes. Dhami stated that this body will facilitate youth participation in crafting policies that concern them directly, ensuring their voices are heard.

The Youth Commission will focus on various facets, including skill development, employment opportunities, and addressing social issues like drug abuse and cybercrime. The Chief Minister stressed the importance of digital empowerment and awareness among the youth to help them navigate these challenges.

Moreover, CM Dhami acknowledged the achievements of Uttarakhand’s youth in sports, noting that the state is gaining a reputation for excellence in this field. He remarked on the necessity of enhancing sports infrastructure, further enabling youth to excel while fostering a culture of sportsmanship.

In closing, Dhami addressed the rising concerns around drug abuse, urging youth to steer clear of addiction and promote a healthy lifestyle among their peers. The Chief Minister also shared three resolutions he hopes young people will adopt: to set ambitious personal goals, to remain drug-free, and to contribute their skills towards the betterment of Uttarakhand.

Dhami expressed confidence that the dedication and aspirations of Uttarakhand’s youth would form a robust foundation for sustainable development in the state, integral to the vision of a prosperous India.
