New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday extended his greetings to the people of Uttarakhand on the occasion of the state's foundation day. PM Modi also lauded the development work done in the state over the last five years adding that "this decade is going to belong to Uttarakhand". "My warm greetings to all my brothers and sisters of Devbhoomi on the foundation day of Uttarakhand. With the progress made by the state in the last five years, I am sure that this entire decade is going to belong to Uttarakhand," read PM Modi's tweet roughly translated from Hindi. उत्तराखंड के स्थापना दिवस पर देवभूमि के अपने सभी भाइयों और बहनों को मेरी हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं। पिछले पांच वर्षों में प्रदेश ने जो प्रगति की है, उससे मुझे विश्वास है कि यह पूरा दशक उत्तराखंड का ही होने वाला है। — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) November 9, 2021 "The development work that has been done in Uttarakhand is proof that now both the water of the mountain and the youth are being used here. I wish that this state, which is situated in the lap of nature, should continue on the path of development," said the Prime Minister in another tweet. उत्तराखंड में विकास का जो काम हुआ है, वह इस बात का प्रमाण है कि अब पहाड़ का पानी और जवानी, दोनों यहां के काम आ रहे हैं। मेरी कामना है कि प्रकृति की गोद में बसा यह राज्य यूं ही विकास के पथ पर निरंतर अग्रसर रहे। — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) November 9, 2021 Carved out of Northern Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand was formed on November 9, 2000, as the 27th state of India. Largely a hilly state, it has international boundaries with China (Tibet) in North and Nepal in the East.
