Strategic Preparations for the National Summit

At her residence in Yamuna Colony, Dehradun, Women Empowerment and Child Development Minister Rekha Arya brought together senior officials to fine‑tune Uttarakhand’s showcase for the two‑day national departmental conference slated for 8–9 October in New Delhi.

Core Pillars to Be Highlighted

The presentation will centre on Uttarakhand’s flagship initiatives—women’s safety, economic empowerment, nutrition, Anganwadi services and child‑protection schemes. Participants were tasked with weaving a compelling story that captures the state’s measurable progress and pioneering approaches.

Insights from Peer States

Arya stressed that the gathering offers a unique platform to learn from the successes of other regions. By analysing best‑practice models elsewhere, Uttarakhand intends to sharpen the effectiveness of its own welfare delivery mechanisms.

Minister’s Vision and Prime Minister’s Guidance

Calling the event a matter of pride for the state, the minister highlighted that the conference will culminate with Prime Minister Narendra Modi sharing his outlook. Arya believes his remarks could shape future policy directions for women’s and children’s welfare nationwide.

Key Officials Involved in the Review

The coordination session featured Secretary Chandresh Kumar Yadav, Additional Secretary Karmendra Singh, Director Banshilal Rana and other senior officers, who examined the presentation deck and logistical arrangements line by line.
