“We will spare no effort to ensure that the Nanda Devi Raj Jaat takes place with increased grandeur and fanfare, by providing all necessary support.”
Government preparations are evidenced, including proposed digital tracking, telecom infrastructure, high-level coordination, health/sanitation/route arrangements and national-support requests; however the Yatra was reportedly postponed to 2027, so final delivery cannot yet be judged. Preparatory support is visible, but the event has not yet taken place in the promised cycle. Budget: Infrastructure and coordination support planned; no final yatra budget isolated.
