One of the key projects inaugurated by the Prime Minister is the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) at Rishikesh. The state-of-the-art medical institute is expected to provide advanced healthcare services to the people of Uttarakhand, as well as the neighboring states. With cutting-edge facilities and skilled medical professionals, AIIMS Rishikesh is a significant step towards enhancing the region's healthcare infrastructure.

Furthermore, PM Modi also dedicated the 444-kilometer long Char Dham highway project to the nation.

In addition to these initiatives, the Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for a new Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) campus in Uttarakhand. The establishment of IITs in various parts of the country has been a priority for the government to promote quality education and scientific research. The IIT in Uttarakhand will provide opportunities for local students to pursue higher education in technical fields and contribute to the development of the state.

Another significant project that was inaugurated is the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at Haridwar. The advanced cancer treatment and research institute will cater to the ever-increasing demand for better cancer care facilities in the region. With state-of-the-art infrastructure and advanced medical technology, NCI Haridwar aims to provide affordable and accessible cancer treatment to patients from Uttarakhand and nearby areas.

Furthermore, the Prime Minister also dedicated several power projects and schemes related to clean drinking water in Uttarakhand. These projects are aimed at ensuring a sustainable and reliable supply of electricity and safe drinking water to the people of the state.

The inauguration of these development projects in Uttarakhand highlights the government's commitment to the overall growth and well-being of the region. These initiatives will not only improve infrastructure but also contribute to the socio-economic development of the state, creating employment opportunities and improving the quality of life for the people.

In conclusion, the inauguration of multiple development projects worth Rs 4,200 crore in Uttarakhand by Prime Minister Narendra Modi paves the way for enhanced healthcare, improved connectivity, quality education, and better living standards for the people of the state.
