Pujya Swamiji met with the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttarakhand Shri Trivendra Singh Rawatji on a whole host of points ranging from sustainable development and progress in the Himalayan state, assessment of ongoing projects in Rishikesh such as the Karna Prayag Railway Line, Sita Jhula as well as the progress of public works i.e. the All-Weather Road, other projects.

Pujya Swamiji shared, “The development of our state should be sustainable and safe – green and eco-friendly. We must protect our natural resources which makes us an oxygen bank, carbon sink and water towers for the nation and for the world. The state is also best known for being the yoga capital of the world but should also promote ayurveda and wellness tourism.”

They also discussed effective wastewater management ahead of the Kumbh 2021, a plastic free Kumbh Mela in Haridwar as well as preventing the use of thermocol in camps. He shared that the Mela should be a green one with a powerful message of sustainability and harmony that can resonate with everyone.
