The trans Himalayan states of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh often face multiple challenges of, and in, the healthcare systems. While the challenges in accessing and delivering healthcare services through the healthcare systems are largely similar for both the states, the outcomes of their individual healthcare systems are different. For 2021-22, Uttarakhand allocated 5.12% of its budget to the health sector, while Himachal Pradesh allocated 6.7% to it. In terms of overall health index score, Uttarakhand, with a total of 44.21, lags much behind Himachal Pradesh, with 63.17.

On May 11, 1998, India declared itself a nuclear weapon state by conducting a series of tests in the Thar desert.

Prime Minister (PM) Indira Gandhi conducted a peaceful nuclear explosion in May 1974. Yet, India took almost five decades to embrace nuclear weapons. No other country in the nuclear age gestated on its nuclear weapon-making potential for so long.
