The event took place at the Chief Minister's residence, as per an official statement from the CM's office.

This comprehensive work by Rawat is lauded for its authentic documentation of Uttarakhand's political evolution, administrative developments, and the trajectory of its growth over 25 years since the state's formation. The book's publication was attended by numerous dignitaries, journalists, and lawmakers who commended Rawat's meticulous compilation.
