President Droupadi Murmu will begin a three-day official visit to Uttarakhand from June 19 to 21, marking a significant phase of public and cultural engagement in the state. Her itinerary includes a series of inaugurations and interactions that highlight developmental priorities and community outreach.

The President will inaugurate an amphitheatre at Rashtrapati Niketan, Dehradun, on June 19, along with laying foundation stones for new infrastructure including staff quarters, stables, and security barracks. These additions aim to enhance the residential and functional capacity of the presidential retreat, which was previously known as the Presidential Estate, reported DD News.

On June 20, the Rashtrapati Niketan will be formally opened to the public. Visitor facilities including a Facilitation Centre, Cafeteria, and Souvenir Shop will be inaugurated the same day. The President will also inaugurate Rashtrapati Tapovan and lay the foundation for Rashtrapati Udyan, both of which will be accessible to the public starting June 24.

A key highlight of the visit includes the President’s stop at the National Institute for Empowerment of Persons with Visual Disabilities, where she will engage with students, explore educational exhibits, and review the model science lab. The event underlines the Centre’s focus on inclusive education and support for differently-abled citizens.

In the evening, President Murmu will release a commemorative postal stamp to mark 125 years of Raj Bhavan, Nainital—an institution integral to Uttarakhand’s administrative history.

Concluding her visit on June 21, President Murmu will join a mass yoga demonstration at the State Police Line Maidan in Dehradun to mark International Yoga Day. Her participation aligns with national efforts to promote wellness and traditional Indian practices.
