Pauri Garhwal (Uttarakhand) [India], February 12 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, along with Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, participated in a program at Government Primary School Thangar in Pauri Garhwal on Saturday.

Addressing the event, Uttar Pradesh CM Adityanath emphasised the importance of technology in improving educational facilities and stressed that meaningful change can only happen when society takes the lead in implementing the government's vision.

Reflecting on his own school days, CM Adityanath highlighted the role of discipline and cultural programs in shaping education despite limited resources in the past.

'Today we have technology. With better use of technology, we can implement better (educational) facilities. This can only happen when the government stays behind and society comes forward, then there will be results,' the Uttar Pradesh CM said.

'The guidance and vision of the government should be there, but society should play the role of implementing that vision. Earlier, we did not have resources to provide such facilities. When we were students, there were no such provisions, but our teachers provided us education with discipline. We had the Bal Sabha, cultural events, and several other programs,' he said.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami announced that the state has successfully reduced unemployment by 4.4% in a year, surpassing the national average.

In his address at the school in Pauri Garhwal, CM Dhami said, 'We have succeeded in reducing unemployment by 4.4% in one year in the state, which is more than the national average. UP CM Yogi Adityanath had given some suggestions to stop migration from the state in search of employment. Keeping those suggestions in mind, we will take concrete steps in that direction.'
