Uttarakhand was divided from Uttar Pradesh on 9th November 2000 with a motive of decentralization so development could be monitored and done in hill areas of state. Uttarakhand ranks as sixth richest state of India in terms of State Domestic Product but as compared to development between plains and hills areas, there comes a big gap. There are very less beneficiaries of development from hills compared to plains. The per capita income of Haridwar, a district in the plains that is 53 km from state capital Dehradun, is Rs 122,172. But Uttarkashi, the northern-most Himalayan district, reports half that per capita income at Rs 59,791, from the Data of 2014-15.

Migration has been a roadblock since the division of the state, the male of the family goes out to plain areas for work, leaving women and elderly couples at home. In absence of job, women look out to Farm and household activities leaving them abandoned from current trends despite being literate. Uttarakhand’s literacy rate at 78.8% is higher than the national average of 73%. Problem still remains the same, Migration. People study the desired curriculum but cannot get the job in Hills with the same skills, reason they migrate to cities for job and easy life fulfilment, the hardship of village life and unfulfillment of desired job gives a supporting reason to them. According to reports of NSDC to catch with the industry demands, the state aims to increase number of skilled labours 650000 in next 5 years.
