Uttarakhand's new governor Dr Bisen says, will lend helping hand to state government, protect constitutional values

Dehradun, Oct 19 (UNI) Uttarakhand's newly appointed Governor, Dr Dhal Singh Bisen has said that he will lend helping hand to the state government for protecting constitutional values and maintaining the dignity of his office.
Bisen said this after he was administered oath of the office and secrecy as ninth Governor of the state on Monday at the Lok Bhavan here.
Showering praises on state's entitlement as Devbhoomi Dr Dhal Singh Bisen said his top job in the Himalayan state will be to protect constitutional values and help the state government in advancing its developmental projects, people centric programs and schemes. "We have to persistently accelerate the development pace of this state and take it to new heights. As Governor my basic priorities will always be to protect constitutional values keeping the dignity of the office intact" he said.
Dr Bisen added, "I will endeavour to give momentum to schemes for education, health, agriculture, tourism, environment, employment and public welfare working with the state government and the people. The peace, security and prosperity of devbhoomi is our ultimate goal."
Interacting with the media after he was administered oath of the office by the acting chief justice of Uttarakhand Manoj Kumar Tiwari, the Governor appreciated the state for its rich religious heritage and thanked BJP leadership for his appointment as Uttarakhand Governor.
Bisen said, "I bow from my heart to the sacred land of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand and its people. I express my heartfelt gratitude to the country's top leadership for providing me the opportunity to serve Devbhoomi."
The Governor stated "Uttarakhand was not only a province of the country, but also a center of our faith and culture. It is the land of sacred Char Dham shrines Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri."
Talking about spiritualism in the state Bishen said, "transcendental and holy sites like Adi Kailash and Jageshwar Dham too exist here. This land is world-famous for its unique tourist destinations."
Governor added that besides Devbhoomi, this state is also Veerbhoomi (the land of the braves). "Here, almost every family has a member serving in the armed forces. The matrushakti (women power) of this state is highly empowered and inspiring. Along with Youth and farmers entire society here is extremely hardworking and strong. This is why Uttarakhand is growing rapidly on various parameters of development."
The Governor said that he will also lend helping hand in pursuit of what Prime Minister Narendra Modi "had stated from the courtyard of Baba Kedar that the third decade of the 21st century will be the decade of Uttarakhand."
Bisen took the oath as ninth Governor of Uttarakhand on Monday. Born on March 14, 1952, in Pipariya, Seoni district of Madhya Pradesh, Dr Dhal Singh Bisen was a practicing physician and an agriculturist. He was elected as a member of the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly four times between 1993 and 2008. During this period, he also served as a cabinet minister in the Madhya Pradesh government. He was elected to the 17th Lok Sabha in 2019.
