Study on the demand for the creation of separate political division of Uttar Khand Region as Uttarakhand State.

The book on Uttarakhand begins its discussion by not the issues of policy but rather the rich heritage of flaura and fauna that Uttarakhand possesses and seeks to explain methods in which they can be used to strengthen the economy of the state. The book proposes a model for Uttarakhand that can be witnessed to be a developmental stalwart for the state. The model draws a logical corollary from the example of a similarly sized state i.e., Switzerland, the aim being to propose a developmental model that can be so adopted by the state that the economy and welfare of the state-dwellers is boosted many fold. The book then further seeks to analyse the pre-existing condition of security and defence in the state and unveils the existing threats to security that have their presence in the state. The author seeks to identi- fy and illuminate administrative deficiencies and extend develop- mental solutions to the government to bring Kumaon and Garhwal administrative divisions at par with each other. It also touches upon the rising menace of alcoholism and drug abuse in the state known as 'Dev bhoomi' and develop effective solutions to tackle the problem. The book would provide the readers with effective solutions to those issues of public policy and enable them to chisel their own critical thinking and look at the issues of public policy with the lens of an administrator.
