Uttarakhand is the only state along with Himachal Pradesh that focuses on Hinduism-based activities. The state has an unemployment rate of 8% as of May 2020, which is less than the national average of 23.5%. The lack of initiatives and actions on part of the state government has forced the natives to migrate to other states in hope of a job and improved quality of life. More than 5 lakh people have migrated out of the state in the last 10 years. The other respite available to the village residents to escape crises is to get converted and stay put. As per the recent data, as much as over 1700 villages and 1000 hamlets are declared as ghost villages, as per the Uttarakhand Migration Commission. Vidharmis from other states are slowly migrating to these empty villages.

The data relating to conversions are never official and thus the exact numbers are difficult to be found. This has led to slow and steady penetration of Vidharmis into the Hindu communities of the state. Job crises, rampant conversion, and migration have become critical and hugely unresolved issues in Uttarakhand.

What makes Hrishikesh so unique spot as it’s still not encroached by any single mosque, located in the foothills of the Himalayas along the convergence of Ganga and Chandrabhaga River, Hrishikesh is a smalltown in the Dehradun district, located close to Haridwar in Uttarakhand, is known for its adventure activities, ancient temples and as the "Yog Capital of the World” draws tourists from around the globe. Gateway to Garhwal, Himalayas, Hrishikesh is also a pilgrimage town and one of the holiest places for Sanatanis, with most of the spiritual journey to Uttarakhand begins from Hrishikesh.

The negligence by the state government and the Hindu community continues to make the town more vulnerable, which puts the sanctity of the holy city at stake. This creates an urgent need for actions to curb such challenges in the city of Hrishikesh.
