He emphasised that the intellectual community is one of the most important forces in guiding society and the nation, as its ideas help shape the future of coming generations. He described intellectuals as "opinion makers" whose suggestions can serve as a strong foundation for the state's development. The Chief Minister stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is moving rapidly toward realising the vision of a developed nation guided by the mantra of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas." He noted that the country has achieved milestones in governance, transparency and public welfare over the years. Referring to schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, Jan Dhan Yojana, Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), Ujjwala Yojana, Ayushman Bharat and Jal Jeevan Mission, Dhami said these initiatives have positively transformed the lives of millions. He further stated that the Uttarakhand Government is continuously working under the Prime Minister's guidance to promote comprehensive development, good governance, and the preservation of the state's cultural identity.
