Every possible effort is being made by the state government to make this the decade of Uttarakhand. Work is also being done in the field of cleanliness to make Uttarakhand an ideal state.

The state has bagged the first position in the ranking of Sustainable Development Goals released by NITI Aayog. The unemployment rate in the state has decreased by 4.4 percent.
The CM observed that to promote tourism, it is essential to pay special attention to cleanliness. Tourism is a strong base for promoting the economy of Uttarakhand. Uttarakhand has a distinct identity in the country and the world as a tourism state.
