Butail Trio Leading Palampur’s Renaissance:

A Legacy of Vision, Service, and Progress

Palampur, often celebrated for its scenic beauty and iconic tea gardens, is now also being recognized for something truly remarkable — the unwavering dedication of the Butail family towards the town’s upliftment and development. It is a moment of great pride for Palampur that three visionary members of this distinguished family — Ashish Butail, Archit Butail, and Gokul Butail — are working tirelessly, day and night, to shape a brighter, stronger, and more prosperous future for their hometown and its people.

Ashish Butail, current MLA of Palampur and serving as Chief Parliamentary Secretary (CPS), is a dynamic leader who blends modern governance with deep-rooted values. As a hotelier, tea garden owner, and prominent political figure, Ashish is carrying forward the illustrious legacy of his forefathers — Lt. Kanhaiya Lal Butail, Bansi Lal Butail, Kunj Bihari Lal Butail, and Brij Bihari Lal Butail

— all of whom played vital roles in the socio-political development of Himachal Pradesh. His commitment to the welfare of the people and to inclusive, sustainable development continues to inspire many.

Following the same trail of excellence is Archit Butail, a visionary entrepreneur and a man of modern ideas rooted in legacy.

Archit is successfully heading major projects in the fields of bottled drinking water, hydel power, and hospitality. A proud tea garden owner himself — including the historic Sungal Tea Estate and other flourishing estates around Palampur — he is not only generating employment but also preserving the proud tea heritage of the region.

Archit is also actively carrying forward the legacy of his esteemed father, Shri K.G. Butail, a two-time member of CSK HPKV Palampur and former member of the Tea Board of India. Currently, Shri K.G. Butail serves as the Honourable Chairperson of the Palampur Rotary Eye Foundation, under whose leadership the hospital and its associated projects have made significant strides in delivering quality healthcare to the community.

Gokul Butail, Principal Advisor to the Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh and holding a cabinet rank, is yet another shining star in the Butail family.

A successful businessman, hotelier, and active voice in state affairs, Gokul is deeply involved in both developmental policies and public welfare initiatives.

Gokul draws inspiration from his father, Shri Dinesh Butail — one of Palampur’s most respected tea garden owners, whose decades of hard work and dedication have left a lasting imprint on the Kangra tea industry.

Shri Dinesh Butail’s passion for the land and its people has earned him admiration across the state.

Equally revered is Gokul’s mother, Smt. Rachita Butail, whose quiet strength, grace, and unwavering values have been the nurturing force behind the family’s unity and growth. She continues to be a source of inspiration, not just within the family but also in the wider community.

Together, Ashish, Archit, and Gokul Butail are not just continuing the legacy of greatness — they are elevating it. Their combined work across sectors such as politics, business, agriculture, and social welfare is a living example of what visionary leadership, backed by values and hard work, can achieve.

The Butail family stands as a symbol of pride for Palampur — a name synonymous with integrity, service, and progressive vision.

Their legacy is not only rooted in history but is actively shaping the future of Palampur, making it a model town for the rest of Himachal Pradesh to follow.
