## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF TOURISM                 (SHRI GAJENDRA SINGH SHEKHAWAT)

(a): The  Ministry  of  Tourism  under  the  'Pilgrimage  Rejuvenation  and Spiritual, Heritage Augmentation Drive' (PRASHAD)  provides financial assistance  to  the  State  Governments  and  Union  Territory  Administrations for development  of tourism infrastructure at identified religious and heritage  sites  across  the  country.  Since  the  launch  of  the  Scheme,  the

Ministry of Tourism has sanctioned 54 projects in 28 States/UTs, the details of which are given in the Annexure-I.

The  projects  sanctioned  under  the  said  scheme  are  implemented  by  the State/UT  Government  concerned.  The  delay  in  the  completion  of  projects under the PRASHAD scheme arise from various factors such as delays in the tendering  process,  limited  capacity  of  the  State  Implementing  Agency, untimely  project  planning  and  design,  and  non-submission  of  requisite documents.

However, the Ministry of Tourism regularly monitors the progress of project and  also  encourages  respective  State  Government/  UT  Administrations/ Central Agencies to complete the projects in a time bound manner.

- (b):  The  Ministry  of  Tourism  under  Swadesh  Darshan  scheme  sanctioned 76 projects under identified thematic circuits for Rs.5290.30 Crore. Further, the  Ministry  revamped  the  scheme  as  Swadesh  Darshan  2.0  (SD2.0)  to develop  sustainable  and  responsible  tourism  destinations  and  sanctioned 52 projects for Rs.2108.87 Crore. The details of these projects are given in the Annexure-II.

The  selection  of  the  tourism  development  projects  under  the  schemes  is done in synergy with scheme guidelines and in close consultation with the concerned State Governments/Union Territory Administrations, while taking into account the regional and cultural diversity of India.

Further,  a  holistic  development  approach  is  adopted  in  identification  of destinations/  projects  under  the  Swadesh  Darshan  2.0  scheme,  which includes future tourism potential, connectivity, alignment with sustainable and responsible tourism, etc.

- (c) and (d): Under the Swadesh  Darshan scheme, the Ministry of Tourism  has  sanctioned  76  projects  under  different  thematic  circuits  for Rs.5290.30  Crore  across  the  country,  including  themes  such  as  Rural, Himalayan, Tribal, Eco-tourism, Wildlife, Coastal, Northeast, etc.
- (e): The Ministry of Tourism had launched the Dekho Apna Desh initiative in  January  2020  for  promotion  of  domestic  tourism  in  the  country.  Under this  initiative,  the  Ministry  promotes  tourism  destinations  and  products  of India through various activities such as Webinars, Quiz, Pledge, Seminars, Tourism Promotional Events, Fam tours, Website, social media etc.

(f): The  Ministry  of  Tourism  has  put  in  place  the  Scheme  of  'Capacity Building for  Service  Providers'  (CBSP)  to  provide  education,  training  and certification to the tourism service providers including small tour operators, local  artisans  and  homestay  providers,  to  up-grade  manpower  at  every strata of tourism industry in order to capitalize the vast tourism potential of the  country  to  the  fullest,  and  provide  professional  expertise  to  the  local populace as well as create fresh opportunities in the tourism sector.
