Project Details
Brief Background
For the promotion of Tourism in Assam the department of Tourism is framing policies and programmes for the growth of tourism in Assam. The department has come a long way since its humble beginning in the 1958. It has been widely acknowledged as a potent engine for comprehensive socio-economic development.
Objective
India is the most populated country in the world with 1.4 billion people. It has one of the youngest populations globally. A fifth of the world?s youth demographic is in India and this population advantage could play a critical role in achieving the nation?s ambitious target to become a US $ 5 trillion economy. India?s large youth population offers both a workforce as well as a market. These young people are driving a culture of innovation entrepreneurship and diversity.
Benefits
With a view to capitalise on this demographic dividend the Government of India has come up with an initiative named ?YUVA Tourism? to create awareness among the youths about India?s natural and cultural heritage through tourism. As part of this initiative Tourism Clubs would be formed in educational institutions.
