Tuesday, December 25, 2018

The Finance Minister of India Mr. Arun Jaitley said that economic growth will help push tourism in India which has various incredible places to visit.

India is blessed with amazing natural resources as well as forests with multiple wildlife and innumerable places of cultural and religious tourism. Mr. Jaitley said this after releasing a book titled Wide Angle: Wildlife in Pictures’ edited by S C Vats and Sidharth Mishra.

Mr. Jaitley said, “Conventionally, our developmental processes were slow we have never been able to exploit it. We could not exploit in terms of the world coming to us and as we hopefully grow I think the capacity of the society to spend on tourism and attract the focus of the world to these places will also take place.”

Mr. Jaitley appreciated the efforts of the government in preserving wildlife, and said that India’s National Wildlife Action Plan (NWAP) for the period 2017-2031 and Secure Himalaya focuses on the preservation of genetic diversity and sustainable development.
NWAP has five components, 17 themes, 103 conservation actions, and 250 projects, he said.
