Swadesh Darshan Scheme
In order to manage the nation’s production of theme-based tourism circuits in 2014–15, the Ministry of Tourism introduced the central sector Swadesh Darshan Scheme. The fundamental goal of this scheme is to depict the tourism industry as a significant force behind job creation, the inspiration behind economic growth, and the creator of synergies with other sectors to enable tourism to realise its potential. This scheme is meant to be implemented with other initiatives from the Indian government, including the Make in India, Skill India, and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
