Uttarakhand Prepares New Women’s Policy, All 57 Departments to Work Together for Change

In a landmark step for women’s development, the Uttarakhand government has completed the draft of its new state-wide women’s policy, bringing together all 57 departments to work as one. From health and education to law, safety, and livelihood — every department will now play a role in empowering women across the state.

📄 What’s in the Policy?The policy aims to create a unified system where multiple departments coordinate efforts to ensure women’s growth in every sector — including:

• 👩‍⚕️ Healthcare

• 📚 Education and Skill Development

• 🛡️ Safety and Legal Protection

• 💼 Employment and Economic Empowerment

• 🧠 Mental Health and Support Systems

  
  

🗂️ Departments will no longer work in silos. Instead, each will be responsible for fulfilling specific roles under the new framework. This integrated model is expected to be a strong example for other Indian states.

📌 The final draft will soon go for approval after consultations, and once launched, it could reshape the way Uttarakhand supports women at every level.
