🛠 How You (a resident/visitor) Can Participate

• Attend the cultural events in your district or in Dehradun during the celebrations (1–9 Nov) — expect folk performances, exhibitions and fairs.

• Visit the main event on 9 November (or whichever day the flagship function is in your area) to witness the parade, awards and official ceremony.

• Explore the department-pavilions/exhibitions to know what the state has achieved and the future plans — good for civic awareness.

• Use social media or digital platforms to join in: many events will encourage citizen-participation or virtual viewing.

• Encourage local community members (schools, youth groups, artisans) to showcase their cultural heritage; this is being emphasised in the programme.

• Reflect on the “25 years” journey: think about how Uttarakhand has developed, what remains to be done — this is part of the official theme.

📍 Special Things to Watch Out For

• The theme emphasises “progress + preservation” — development along with nature, culture, mountains. Rajbhawan Uttarakhand

• District level events are happening, not just at the capital. So your local area likely will have its own event. Indias News+1

• Some events are policy-oriented (clinics, cyber centres), so the celebration is both festive and functional.

• Because this is Silver Jubilee (25 years), many programmes have extra significance — e.g., special medals, special cultural themes, extended duration.
