Rajnath Singh has approved the proposal for creation of a new Defence Estates Circle exclusively for Uttarakhand on May 26, 2022. In view of the difficulties faced in managing large tracts of defence land in the State and demand of residents of Cantonments located in Uttrakhand, MoD will establish an independent office of Defence Estates at Dehradun and a sub-office at Ranikhet.
The creation of a new Defence Estates Circle at Dehradun exclusively for Uttrakhand will facilitate the residents/ organizations in getting timely and quick access to various services of defence land management. In order to further decentralize the governance structure, Raksha Mantri has also approved establishment of a sub-office at Ranikhet under the administrative jurisdiction of Defence Estates Dehradun to deal exclusively with 6 districts of Kumaon region of the State.
