PSUs to conduct board-meetings at tourist spots to boost tourism
In a bid to promote tourism, Indian PSUs would go the extra mile and conduct board meetings and conferences at places like Ajanta-Ellora, Hampi, and Bodhgaya. The significant move comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked the management of the central public sector enterprises (CPSEs) to hold their meetings at lesser-known tourist destinations to help promote tourism while addressing a conclave in April.
Tourism Ministry has suggested names of five tourist destinations
"This matter has been considered with Tourism Ministry. It has suggested the names of five tourist destinations identified to be developed as iconic sites. These include Ajanta-Ellora, Bodhgaya, Hampi, Khajuraho, and Mahabalipuram," Department of Public Enterprises said. It also directed all ministries and departments to advise CPSEs to hold one or two Board meetings at any of the above five destinations in a year.
