The Union Ministry of Tourism has announced the launch of Swadesh Darshan 2.0, a significant initiative aimed at transforming more than 55 cities into exceptional tourist destinations in the country. Among these selected cities, Chandigarh stands out as a prominent choice, ready to warmly embrace visitors, reports Khalsa Vox.

Taking charge of this exciting project is L&T Infra Engineering in association with PwC, handpicked by the ministry to serve as the project development and management consultant.

The inception report, a solid foundation for further progress, will soon be followed by comprehensive master plans for tourism encompassing both physical infrastructure and intangible offerings. The project development and management consultant team will be stationed right here in Chandigarh, actively engaging in on-ground work to bring the vision to life.

The gathering at the meeting was graced by the presence of prominent officials, including Hargunjit Kaur, Secretary of Tourism, Home Secretary Nitin Kumar Yadav, Secretary of Culture Vinod P Kavle, MC Commissioner Anindita Mitra, DC Vinay Pratap Singh, CITCO MD Purva Garg, Chief Architect Kapil Setia, and Chief Engineer CB Ojha.

The city’s rich cultural heritage, stunning architecture, and warm hospitality will soon be showcased to the world, inviting travelers to embark on an unforgettable journey of discovery and delight.
