The book release marked the completion of 100 days in office of the Trivendra Singh Rawat-led government.

Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said his government had in the past 100 days taken up the challenge of migration from hill areas of the state with all seriousness. He said his government had especially set up a commission that would look into measures that needed to be taken to curb migration from the hills.

He later participated in the Jagannath Rath yatra in Dehradun. Addressing a gathering at the start of the Rath yatra, Rawat said water conservation was the need of the hour.
