A short film on the Raj Bhavan, Nainital, which is the summer retreat of the governor, was also screened at the event. “Just as the Rashtrapati Bhavan is a symbol of the republic in independent India, the Raj Bhavans in the states are symbols of the democratic system,” the president said.

She also expressed confidence that the governor and his team will continue to be a source of inspiration for the citizens of the state and that Uttarakhand will continue to progress on the path of continuous development.
