The Chief Minister said that while our government has worked towards strengthening the infrastructure of all major sectors including education, health, roads, sports, drinking water and air connectivity for the last three years, it has also prepared a detailed roadmap for the all-round development of Uttarakhand by making more than 30 new policies related to various sectors in the state and has implemented many new schemes.
