COLLABORATE. CREATE. CELEBRATE.
The Uttarakhandi Community in India has been contributing immensely for the welfare of the society and the nation at large.
Their significant presence in the Armed Forces and Hospitality industry narrates glorious tales of benevolence and bravery. Having been born in The Land of Gods – Uttarakhand, I’ve spent most of my life in awe of this heavenly state, dreaming of contributing towards its growth.
Being a Media Professional based in Mumbai, I keep meeting many successful people and have always been inspired by their journey.
At some point I felt that stories with the world of covering success Achievers of Uttarakhand and compiling it into a book named ‘Uttarakhand ki Khoj’. This book is not just a platform for recognition of these celebrated achievers, but an inspiration and guide for the present and future generations.
Beyond this book, I also intend to bring to life a vibrant ‘Think Tank’ comprising of all great men from Uttarakhand who can come together and exchange ideas for the growth and development of the community and the state.
The response received has overwhelmed me and motivated me further in my mission of bringing all great minds together and creating an ecosystem that impacts the present and the future of our state.
The book ‘Uttarakhand ki Khoj’ will be distributed across numerous Schools, Libraries and Institutions along with all Uttarakhand Social and Cultural Organizations all over the globe.
Together, let’s discover, inspire, and build a better Uttarakhand.
