PRESIDENT OF INDIA GRACES THE COMMEMORATION OF 125 YEARS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF RAJ BHAVAN, NAINITAL

The President of India, Smt Droupadi Murmu, graced a function today (November 3, 2025) to commemorate the 125 years of the establishment of the Raj Bhavan, Nainital, Uttarakhand.

Speaking on the occasion, the President said that just as the Rashtrapati Bhavan is a symbol of the Republic in independent India, Raj Bhavans are a symbol of the democratic system in the states. In this way, after the formation of the state of Uttarakhand, this building has become a part of the progress of Uttarakhand.

The President said that in a parliamentary system, the Governor is the constitutional head of the state’s governance system. The Constitution makers determined the Governor’s powers and duties after much deliberation. The people of the state view the Raj Bhavans as a revered place. Therefore, all members of the Governor’s team are expected to embody the ideals of simplicity, humility, morality, and sensitivity.

The President was happy to note that since its inception, the state of Uttarakhand has embarked on a remarkable journey of continuous progress and prosperity. She expressed confidence that the Governor and his team will continue to provide invaluable inspiration to the residents of the state and that Uttarakhand will continue to progress.
