Readying the National Conference
Uttarakhand’s Minister for Women Empowerment and Child Development, Rekha Arya, convened senior officials at her Yamuna Colony residence in Dehradun to polish the state’s showcase for the two‑day national departmental conference slated for 8–9 October in New Delhi.
Core Areas to Be Highlighted
The programme will put the spotlight on Uttarakhand’s flagship initiatives covering women’s safety, empowerment, nutrition, Anganwadi services and child protection. Participants were asked to weave a compelling story that reflects the state’s progress and pioneering approaches.
Gleaning Insights from Other States
Arya underscored that the gathering offers a valuable platform to learn from the successes of peer states. By analysing proven models elsewhere, Uttarakhand hopes to fine‑tune the delivery of its own welfare schemes.
Minister’s Perspective and Central Leadership
Calling the event a source of pride, the minister highlighted that the conference will conclude with a session featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose vision could shape future strategies for women and child welfare nationwide.
Key Officials in the Planning Session
The coordination meeting saw the participation of Secretary Chandresh Kumar Yadav, Additional Secretary Karmendra Singh, Director Banshilal Rana and other senior officers, who examined the presentation outline and logistical arrangements point by point.
