Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to embark on a significant journey to Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir on March 7th, 2024. The highlight of this visit will be his participation in the ‘Viksit Bharat Viksit Jammu Kashmir’ program, to be held at Bakshi Stadium, Srinagar, around noon.
During this event, the Prime Minister will inaugurate a groundbreaking initiative aimed at bolstering the agricultural economy in J&K – the ‘Holistic Agriculture Development Programme’, valued at Rs 5000 crore. Additionally, he will launch several tourism projects worth over Rs 1400 crore under the Swadesh Darshan and PRASHAD schemes. Notable among these is the ‘Integrated Development of Hazratbal Shrine’ project in Srinagar.
PM Modi will also kickstart the ‘Dekho Apna Desh People’s Choice Tourist Destination Poll’ and the ‘Chalo India Global Diaspora Campaign’, aimed at engaging citizens and the Indian diaspora in promoting tourism to India.
Furthermore, the Prime Minister will distribute appointment orders to approximately 1000 new government recruits of Jammu and Kashmir, and interact with beneficiaries of various government schemes.
The Holistic Agriculture Development Programme (HADP) marks a significant step towards enhancing the agri-economy of Jammu and Kashmir. Encompassing activities in horticulture, agriculture, and livestock husbandry, the program is expected to benefit around 2.5 lakh farmers by providing them with skill development opportunities through the dedicated Daksh Kisan portal. Additionally, it will establish 2000 Kisan Khidmat Ghars and develop robust value chains for the welfare of the farming community, ultimately leading to employment generation for thousands of families in the region.
In line with his vision to enhance the tourist experience across the country, PM Modi will dedicate world-class infrastructure and amenities at various pilgrimage and tourism sites, including the Hazratbal Shrine and other important religious sites nationwide.
Moreover, the Prime Minister will launch numerous projects aimed at developing pilgrimage and tourist sites across the country, fostering economic growth and promoting India as a global tourist destination.
The Challenge Based Destination Development Scheme, announced during the Union Budget 2023-24, will see the announcement of 42 tourist destinations selected across various categories, promoting sustainability and competitiveness in the tourism sector.
In addition, the ‘Dekho Apna Desh People’s Choice 2024’ initiative seeks to engage citizens in identifying preferred tourist attractions across different categories, while the ‘Chalo India Global Diaspora Campaign’ aims to harness the power of the Indian diaspora in promoting tourism to India, with the potential to significantly boost Indian tourism on a global scale.”
