In 2020-21, over 64,879.26 metric tonnes of apples and 3,67,309.04 metric tonnes of potatoes were produced in Uttarakhand, a large chunk of it in Chamoli district.

While power projects bring prosperity to the nation, people living in its shadow are often left behind when it comes to enjoying the benefits. Development projects must prioritise health and livelihoods of local populations. Development has to be ‘just’.
