After the formation of the government in Uttarakhand, the portfolios of the ministers were also divided. It happened as expected. Some of the departments of many old ministers remained the same, while the departments of some were changed. There are some such ministers too, whose departments have been expanded. The CM himself has also increased his departments and which minister has been increased in stature or whether there has been any change in the cabinet. Next, we will tell you that.
Everyone knows that on March 23, the BJP government was formed in Uttarakhand for the second time. Pushkar Singh Dhami took the oath of office and secrecy along with his ministers. After that, we had to wait for a long time. But on the first day of the assembly session, the departments were divided. In the division of portfolios, it was believed that the stature of some senior ministers could be increased. So there was an eye on what the new ministers would get. After the division of the departments, now you can yourself understand whose stature has increased and by how much? Which minister’s responsibility changed and which minister got which new department.

On the other hand, Industrial Development, Labour, Information Technology and Science Technology, Drinking Water, Energy, AYUSH and AYUSH Education, Excise, Environment Protection, and Climate Change, Disaster Management, and Rehabilitation Departments have been increased.
