Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami reaffirmed his government’s commitment to implementing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), highlighting the significant progress made toward its realization. Speaking on the matter, he stated, “We had promised the people of Uttarakhand in 2022 that we will bring the UCC Bill as soon as our government is formed. We brought it. The draft committee drafted it, it was passed, the President approved it, and it became an act.”

Comprehensive Process Nearing Final Stages

The Chief Minister emphasized that the UCC has undergone all legislative stages and is now a legally approved act. Additionally, Dhami confirmed that the training process for officials and stakeholders involved in its implementation is nearing completion. “The process of training is also almost complete. After analyzing everything, we will announce the dates soon,” he added, signaling that the much-awaited implementation phase is on the horizon.

Landmark Move Toward Uniformity

The introduction of the UCC in Uttarakhand represents a significant milestone, aligning with the Bharatiya Janata Party’s vision of uniformity in personal laws across the country. It is also seen as a fulfillment of a key election promise made by the Dhami-led government in 2022. The drafting and approval process involved thorough deliberations by the committee, ensuring that the law addresses the diverse cultural and social fabric of the state.

Public Response and Anticipation

The announcement has generated considerable public interest, with many awaiting the official rollout of the act. Observers have noted that Uttarakhand’s progress on the UCC may serve as a model for other states contemplating similar legislative measures.

 

As Uttarakhand inches closer to implementing the Uniform Civil Code, the state remains in the national spotlight, poised to set a precedent in achieving legal uniformity. Further updates on the timeline and procedures are expected in the coming weeks.
