Uttarakhand Foundation Day 2026: PM Modi, Amit Shah Celebrate Devbhoomi’s Heritage

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday extended greetings to the people of Uttarakhand on the state’s Foundation Day, praising its spiritual heritage, natural beauty and development.

In his message, PM Modi described Uttarakhand as a divine land blessed with spiritual consciousness, picturesque mountains, sacred rivers and the holy Char Dham.

“My heartfelt best wishes to all the residents of the state on Uttarakhand Foundation Day,” he wrote.

The Prime Minister praised the state’s cultural heritage and credited its hardworking, talented and progressive people for its development across various sectors.

Expressing confidence in Uttarakhand’s future, PM Modi said the state would continue to progress rapidly. He further wished its residents happiness, peace and prosperity.

Amit Shah also extended greetings, wishing Uttarakhand continued progress, good governance and prosperity.

In a message on social media platform X, the Home Minister praised the state’s natural beauty, spiritual heritage and vibrant folk culture. He further described Uttarakhand as the cultural heart of the country and highlighted its contributions to national service, literature, art and culture.

Shah invoked the blessings of Baba Kedar for the state’s continued development.

Uttarakhand celebrates its Foundation Day on November 9 to mark its formation in 2000. Formerly part of Uttar Pradesh, it became India’s 27th state following a long-standing demand for separate statehood. Dehradun serves as its capital.

Popularly known as ‘Devbhoomi’ or the Land of the Gods, Uttarakhand is renowned for its Himalayan landscapes, sacred rivers and religious heritage. It is home to the four prominent pilgrimage sites of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath, collectively known as the Char Dham.
