Education
 

“I think there are not many opportunities for the educated ones in Uttarakhand. Some opportunities are present in Dehradun and Haridwar. I don't think education is of much help here in Uttarakhand because the education standards are low and there are no professional courses available. If I were to get any opportunity outside Joshimath, in any other city in the country I would take it up.

I would like the next generation to be independent and I will try my best to give them proper education and support so that they can build their future.”
