Chief Minister Dhami had visited many countries to promote the International Investment Summit which was held in December 2013. In his visit to the foreign countries he was accorded a warm welcome by the non resident Uttarakhandis. To take the benefit of the experiences of non resident Uttarakhandis the CM had directed the officers to set to a special cell for them. He also asked the authorities to organise a conclave of non resident Uttarakhandis in Dehradun.
Expressing happiness at the good response generated by the conclave CM Dhami said that non resident Uttarakhandis have expertise in the fields of science technology and entrepreneurship. The State government wants that they should utilise their experience for the development of the State and their villages, he said.
