In Kevadiya, the mighty Narmada flows between the Satpura and Vindhayachal, slyly giving way
to a smooth four-lane highway that leads to two remarkable structures: the Statue of Unity and the
Sardar Sarovar Dam. Twice, it seems, the country has looked at Kevadia and both times in scale,
the result has been quite remarkable. Driving up the highway, one can certainly rejoice in the fact
that the Statue of Unity is far removed from the bustle of the cities.
“Kevadiya is a shining example of eco-friendly development. On one side there is the dam and
power generation equipment and on the other, there are beautiful eco-tourism sites around SoU”.
After all, the charm of concrete skylines would fade rather quickly. Erecting the statue in a
nondescript town not only puts it on the tourist map but also creates a playground of opportunities,
one that the state government has been efficient to act upon.
In Kevadiya there were new tourist facilities like eco-tourism site, nursery, butterfly garden and
others will generate employment opportunities for the locals who would get big market for their
vegetables, fruits and milk. However shrouded in controversy it may be, our first glance at the
Statue of Unity was enough to make us gasp quite audibly. There was nothing quite like it. The
sheer size of it seemed unfathomable, my whole self as tall as Sardar Patel’s tiniest toe.
REGIONAL PLAN: A CASE OF MUMBAI METROPOLITAN REGIONYash Shah
Regional planning deals with the efficient placement of land-use activities, infrastructure, and settlement growth across a larger area of land than an individual city or town. Regional planning is a sub-field of urban planning as it relates land use practices on a broader scale. It also includes formulating laws that will guide the efficient planning and management of such said regions.
Regions require various land uses; protection of farmland, cities, industrial space, transportation hubs and infrastructure, military bases, and wilderness. Regional planning is the science of efficient placement of infrastructure and zoning for the sustainable growth of a region. Advocates for regional planning such as new urbanist Peter Calthorpe, promote the approach because it can address region-wide environmental, social, and economic issues which may necessarily require a regional focus.
A ‘region’ in planning terms can be administrative or at least partially functional, and is likely to include a network of settlements and character areas. In most European countries, regional and national plans are ‘spatial’ directing certain levels of development to specific cities and towns in order to support and manage the region depending on specific needs, for example supporting or resisting polycentrism.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Planning Committee (MMPC) was formed under the provisions of the Maharashtra Metropolitan Planning Committee Act 1999 and has been entrusted with the task of preparing a Regional Plan for the Mumbai Metropolitan Area with help from MMRDA. Currently, the Regional Plan 1996 is in operation which was prepared by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and sanctioned in 1999. The MMRDA was established under the MMRDA Act, 1974 and undertook the revision of the First regional plan prepared by the Regional Planning Board and sanctioned in 1973, under the provisions of the MR& TP Act, 1966.
The motivation of this study is to explore about Transit Oriented Development (TOD), its parameters and principles. This dissertation includes case studies of areas that show the benefits of TOD and how it is making public transportation feasible near stations and thereby reducing traffic jam problems.

Development Plan and Environment: A Case of Ahmedabad. A Master Dissertation ...Rohit Nadkarni
This Study Intends to looks into the Development Plan and the development planning process of Ahmedabad and tries to understand the extent of environmental consideration in it. A Development plan envisages the entire town/urban area as a single unit and it is necessary to achieve overall
development of the town/urban area in an integrated and co-ordinated manner. Today Ahmedabad
is counted amongst the most polluted cities in India and this is mainly due to development planning
in Ahmedabad repetitively failing to incorporate environmental consideration and values in a
Development Plan. The other cases considered for the study like the London plan and the Delhi master Plan have managed to address most of their environmental issues in the Development Plan. London Plan is the most environmental sensitive Plan among the cases considered. Based on the lacuna identified in the present development planning process of Ahmedabad and by incorporating the lesson from the other Development Plans (London and Delhi), an attempt is made to evolve a framework and suggest changes in the present development planning process, in order to sensitize the entire development planning process towards environment.

“City for All- Proposals and the experiences towards the right to the city”.
Charlotte Mathivete.
But the increasing variety of the urban–rural relationships in the peri- urban areas challenges the policy makers to deal with the complexity of providing access to these areas.
The city Amritsar engulfs the tourist influx worldwide into its magnetic field due to its religious and the historical importance. The proposals in the master plan include the heritage walk, industrial, educational hub etc. Therefore “Master Plan Amritsar - 2031” focusing on the theme accessibility in the peri-urban areas is activity oriented approach at the macro level of the areas in the urbanisable limit of the city Amritsar. The population of the peri urban area is 4.18 lakhs and covering the area of 51426 hectares. The proposed land use in the planning area is residential 43%, circulation 15%, commercial 5%, public-semi public 11%, industrial 11% and recreational 15%. The study has the approach covering accessibility from the major proposed nodes and along the roads in the planning area and the MC limits.
In the lieu of the above the accessibility is analyzed by taking the distance of the radius 5km, 10km and 15km from the center as per the guidelines of the G.O.I and further supported by the demarcation of the four zones along the within the major roads. The accessibility along the roads is identified taking into account the travel characteristic that is the real journey time taken by the commuters.The accessibility to the peri –urban areas is also related with the different aspects then taking account of the commercial centers the shopping areas are sufficient, college need to be proposed to fulfill the requirement, in the terms of the transportation the peri- urban is linked through the outer ring roads; due to the proposal of the sports complex the recreational facilities are also well accessed; but on the darker side the health facilities are least accessible to the peri-urban areas.
So analyzing the access to peri- urban area and concluding as a whole the proposals are located taking the parameters such as directional growth of the city, location of the major roads such as NH, existing activity nodes. Therefore the proposed commercial centers are located in Manawala, Verka and Bal Kalan; recreational centers along the ring road and the NH; educational facilities i.e. two colleges along the Batala road and the Ajnala road; hospitals along the NH and ring road.

Sabarmati Riverfront:
An urban regeneration and environment improvement initiative
Transforming river from a geographical divider to a focal point for leisure and recreation
Recognized in the list of ‘100 Most Innovative Projects’
The aim of the Mission Smart City is to efficiently utilise the available Assets, Resources and
Infrastructure to enhance the quality of Urban Life and provide a clean and sustainable
environment for living and the main focus will be on core infrastructure services like adequate
clean Water supply, Power supply, Sanitation, Disaster Management, Solid waste management,
Waste water treatment, Efficient urban mobility and Public Transportation, Public Healthcare
system, Education, Affordable Housing, robust IT connectivity, e-governance, Safety, Socialsecurity. Smart City needs Smart Citizens too, Smart City needs to be Safe City as well for
citizens live a smooth life.
Some definitional boundaries are required to guide cities in the Mission. In the imagination of
any city dweller in India, the picture of a Smart City contains a wish list of infrastructure and
services that describes his or her level of aspiration. To provide for the aspirations and needs of
the citizens, urban planners ideally aim at developing the entire urban eco-system, which is
represented by the four pillars of comprehensive development — institutional, physical, social
and economic infrastructure. This can be a long term goal and cities can work towards
developing such comprehensive infrastructure incrementally, adding on layers of ‘smartness’.
In the approach to the Smart Cities Mission, the objective is to promote cities that provide core
infrastructure and give a decent quality of life to its citizens, a clean and sustainable environment
and application of ‘Smart’ Solutions. The focus is on sustainable and inclusive development and
the idea is to look at compact areas, create a replicable model which will act like a light house to
other aspiring cities. The Smart Cities Mission of the Government is a bold, new initiative. It is
meant to set examples that can be replicated both within and outside the Smart City, catalyzing
the creation of similar Smart Cities in various regions and parts of the country.

A PLANNING PROPOSAL FOR TOWN PLANNING SCHEME SURAT NO. 77 (DUMAS-BHIMPOR-GAVIAR)Yash Shah
A Town Planning scheme popularly known as “Land Acquisition without Tears” is successfully practiced in Gujarat & Maharashtra to manage the urban growth. Gujarat state practices method of land management by land pooling & readjusting the same for the development in an organized and desired manner. These Method is Known as Town Planning Scheme & it involves Public Participation at all stages of Proposal & development. The Town Planning Scheme (TPS) thus is a legal document that is the basis for assessing and determining proposals for the use and development of land in the Town at micro level.
In this report, the emphasis is given to study & analyses the integration & transformation of unorganized & haphazardly placed rural land parcels into usable form with accessibility & infrastructure provision identifying it as “Urban valuable land” with minimum land wastage. The study includes objectives & scope, terminologies, study of different land models , Legal aspect of Gujarat Town Planning & Urban development Act -1976, Town Planning Scheme methodology, T.P. Scheme Scenario of Surat city, study Of Existing T.P. Scheme, site visit for collecting the data & analysing & interpreting the same in various forms in all respects.
This gives preparation of conceptual layouts with carving out of road as per the needed linkages with surrounding area, & well integrated road network accessing each & every plots, reshaped plots with reserved plots for various public amenities including reserved plots for economically weaker section (EWS) - urban poor to lift up the society, with sufficient open spaces. Thus T.P. Scheme is a tool for urban planner to Create Social & Community Spirit Opportunities at micro level of the society with better infrastructure facilities to all for their development.
The proposal for T.P. Scheme includes the estimation of road, Infrastructure such as water supply, drainage, Street lights, Open spaces which are must for any development of land & to arrive the cost of development per hectare to arrive at the basic necessary amount required for development.

Renewable energy market analysis the gcc region, RENEWABLE ENERGY MARKET ANA...Power System Operation
The transition towards renewable energy is creating a fundamental, long-term shift in the
global economy. This shift can be expected to have a significant impact on fossil-fuel producers,
including the oil- and gas-exporting countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
The landmark December 2015 Paris Agreement, backed up with detailed plans by countries
around the world to overhaul their energy sectors, could imply the eventual softening of
global demand for oil and gas, the main drivers of local economies. But it also presents an
exciting opportunity for economic diversification and entry to new markets.
For the last several years already, GCC countries have been fashioning a critical role for themselves
in the global shift to renewable energy. They have done so as investors in major solar
and wind projects worldwide and also by adopting innovative and increasingly cost-competitive
technologies in their own domestic markets.

AFFORADBLE HOUSING SHORTAGE IN INDIA: - A CASE STUDY OF SURATYash Shah
Causes of Housing Shortage in India can be list out as following:
• Rapid population growth
• Migration
• Urbanization
• Limited land supply
• Affordability
• War and Violence
• Lack of financing etc
Affordable housing is defined as any housing that meets some form of affordability criterion.
The affordability criterion is different for different countries. For example in United States
and Canada, a common accepted criterion for affordable housing is that the cost of housing
should not be more than 30 percent of a household's gross income. Housing costs include
taxes and insurance for owners, and utility costs.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation is an agency of the Government of India responsible for urban poverty, housing, and employment programs. It is involved in national policy decisions and coordinates with Indian central ministries, state governments, and central sponsor programs. The Ministry was created in 2004 after splitting it from the Ministry of Urban Development. The government, in 2017, merged the urban development and housing and urban poverty alleviation ministries as the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA). The Government of India has launched various programs since its independence, such as some of the five year plans, to alleviate poverty and address the widening income gap, both, amongst the upper and lower classes of society, and amongst the rural and urban parts of the country. For instance, the "Eighth Plan policy guidelines envisages integrated approach to alleviation of urban poverty and servicing the urban poor with basic facilities so that their quality of life improves. The scheme could not help in preventing growth of new slums.
While newly launched programs like Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), Food Security Act, Mid-day Meals and Bharat Nirman Yojana have demonstrated success in the initial stages, their performance over the long-run still remains to be seen. The shortsightedness of the Indian government often leads it to launch populist programs that may not necessarily work well. Low-hanging fruit like increasing worker's minimum wage can go a long way in achieving the goal of poverty alleviation, but are yet to be taken up in spite of reminders from leading economists.

PLANNING PRINCIPLES OF LE CORBUSIER – A CASE STUDY OF CHANDIGARH CITYYash Shah
The city has a pre-historic past. The gently sloping plains on which modern Chandigarh exists, was in the ancient past, a wide lake ringed by a marsh. The fossil remains found at the site indicate a large variety of aquatic and amphibian life, which was supported by that environment. About 8000 years ago the area was also known to be a home to the Harappans. Since the medieval through modern era, the area was part of the large and prosperous Punjab Province which was divided into East & West Punjab during partition of the country in 1947. The city was conceived not only to serve as the capital of East Punjab, but also to resettle thousands of refugees who had been uprooted from West Punjab. In March, 1948, the Government of Punjab, in consultation with the Government of India, approved the area of the foothills of the Shivaliks as the site for the new capital. The location of the city site was a part of the erstwhile Ambala district as per the 1892-93 gazetteer of District Ambala. The foundation stone of the city was laid in 1952. Subsequently, at the time of reorganization of the state on 01.11.1966 into Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pardesh, the city assumed the unique distinction of being the capital city of both, Punjab and Haryana while it itself was declared as a Union Territory and under the direct control of the Central Government.
The Union Territory of Chandigarh is located in the foothills of the Shivalik hill ranges in the north, which form a part of the fragile Himalayan ecosystem. It is occupied by Kandi (Bhabhar) in the north east and Sirowal (Tarai) and alluvial plains in the remaining part. The subsurface formation comprises of beds of boulders, pebbles, gravel, sand, silt, clays and some kankar. The area is drained by two seasonal rivulets viz. Sukhna Choe in the east and Patiala-Ki-Rao Choe in the west. The central part forms a surface water divide and has two minor streams.

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is the application of computer, electronics, and communication technologies and management strategies in an integrated manner to provide traveler information to increase the safety and efficiency of the road transportation systems.
ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) Principles and approaches of traffic ...Yash Shah
Traffic management measures are aimed at improving the safety and flow of traffic, reducing traffic emissions and utilizing traffic artery capacity more effectively. Traffic management is used to curb demand for transport and affect the selection of the mode of transport, route, or the time of travel or transport. In particular, it is utilized during the first stages of the four-step principle applied in the development of traffic conditions.
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is the application of computer, electronics, and communication technologies and management strategies in an integrated manner to provide traveler information to increase the safety and efficiency of the road transportation systems.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation is an agency of the Government of India responsible for urban poverty, housing, and employment programs. It is involved in national policy decisions and coordinates with Indian central ministries, state governments, and central sponsor programs. The Ministry was created in 2004 after splitting it from the Ministry of Urban Development.
The government, in 2017, merged the urban development and housing and urban poverty alleviation ministries as the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA).
The Government of India has launched various programs since its independence, such as some of the five year plans, to alleviate poverty and address the widening income gap, both, amongst the upper and lower classes of society, and amongst the rural and urban parts of the country. For instance, the "Eighth Plan policy guidelines envisages integrated approach to alleviation of urban poverty and servicing the urban poor with basic facilities so that their quality of life improves. The scheme could not help in preventing growth of new slums.
Panchayats have been the backbone of the Indian villages since the beginning of recorded history. Gandhiji, the father of the nation, in 1946 had aptly remarked that the Indian Independence must begin at the bottom and every village ought to be a Republic or Panchayat having powers. Gandhiji dream has been translated into reality with the introduction of the three-tier Panchayati Raj system to ensure people’s participation in rural reconstruction.
An integrated local area plan, based on specific needs of each area, was stressed upon from the beginning of plan development process in 1950s. However, despite several reports and studies, there were only sporadic efforts and isolated cases of such planning.
The passage of the Constitution (73rd Amendment) Act, 1992 marks a new era in the federal democratic set up of the country and provides constitutional status to the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs). These PRIs are empowered to function as institutions of Self Government and to prepare plans for economic development and social justice and their empowerment. The PRIs constitute the bedrock for the implementation of most of Rural Development Programmes.
Panchayati Raj system of governance provides a 3-tier structure of local governance in which Gram Panchayats are the basic units of administration. The three-tiers include the following: Gram Panchayat, Block Panchayat, and District Panchayat. Panchayats are responsible for the preparation of plans for economic development and social justice; implementation of national schemes; and to levy and collect appropriate taxes, duties, tolls and fees.Govt. of India has elaborated a detailed picture of District Planning through their publication "Manual for Integrated District Planning". This manual will provide guidance in the task of preparing District Plans that are based on a long-term vision, reflect the needs of the people and provide a framework for convergence of programmes and resources so that implementation of the plan yields optimal outcomes and helps address regional imbalances, with a view of bringing all areas of the country into a twenty-first century vision of development.
“District Planning” is the process of preparing an integrated plan for the Local Government in a District taking into account the resources available and covering the sectoral activities and schemes assigned to the district level below and those implemented through local governments in the state.” It ensures better delivery of services and efficient use of resources
SMART CITY: FEATURES THAT MAKE A CITY ‘SMART’”Yash Shah
Cities are engines of growth for the economy of every nation, including India. Nearly 31% of India’s current population lives in urban areas and contributes 63% of India’s GDP (Census 2011). With increasing urbanization, urban areas are expected to house 40% of India’s population and contribute 75% of India’s GDP by 2030. This requires comprehensive development of physical, institutional, social and economic infrastructure. All are important in improving the quality of life and attracting people and investments to the City, setting in motion a virtuous cycle of growth and development. Development of Smart Cities is a step in that direction.
The first question is what is meant by a ‘smart city’. The answer is, there is no universally accepted definition of a smart city. It means different things to different people. The conceptualisation of Smart City, therefore, varies from city to city and country to country, depending on the level of development, willingness to change and reform, resources and aspirations of the city residents.
Smart Cities Mission is an urban renewal and retrofitting programme launched by the Government of India on June 25, 2015 with a mission to develop 100 cities all over the country making them citizen friendly and sustainable (Government of India 2015). Each of the 100 Smart Cities will get Rs 100 crore every year for five years, with an equal contribution coming from the respective state government and the urban local body combined. The Mission is carried out through special purpose vehicles (SPVs), registered under the Companies Act, 2013.
A smart city would have a different connotation in India than, say, Europe. Even in India, there is no one way of defining a smart city. Some definitional boundaries are required to guide cities in the Mission. In the imagination of any city dweller in India, the picture of a smart city contains a wish list of infrastructure and services that describes his or her level of aspiration. To provide for the aspirations and needs of the citizens, urban planners ideally aim at developing the entire urban eco-system, which is represented by the four pillars of comprehensive development-institutional, physical, social and economic infrastructure. This can be a long term goal and cities can work towards developing such comprehensive infrastructure incrementally, adding on layers of ‘smartness’.
Government of India plans to develop Multi-modal High Axle Load Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) between Delhi and Mumbai, covering an overall length of 1483km, with end terminals at Tughlakabad and Dadri in the National Capital Region of Delhi and Jawaharlal Nehru Port at Mumbai.
Government of India has further proposed establishing, promoting and facilitating “Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) along the alignment of DFC between Delhi and Mumbai. The objective of DMIC, supported by world-class infrastructure, would be to optimize on the present potential, enhance investment climate and promote the economic development of the region through creation of a long term enabling environment.
An MOU relating to the DMIC has been signed between the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) of India to explore the opportunities for mutual cooperation. MoCI has further initiated the process by appointing M/s IL&FS Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (IIDC), New Delhi as Consultant for preparation of conceptual framework for DMIC.

1 INTRODUCTION
Global tourism is now generally documented as one of the largest industries in the world and one
of the most significant sources of employment and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Tourism
particularly benefits the economies of developing countries, where most of the sector’s tourism
jobs and businesses are being created. Tourism is a most desirable human activity; which is capable
of changing the socio-cultural, economic and environmental face of the World.
In the chief Minister’s conference held October 30, 2001 the Prime minister of India, Shri Atal
Bihari Vajpayee had stated: “Tourism is a major engine of economic growth in most parts of the
world. Several countries have transformed their economies using the tourism potential the fullest...
Tourism has great capacity to create large scale employment of diverse kind- from the most
specialized of the unskilled and all of us know that generation of massive productive employment
opportunity is what India needs the most.” According to United nation of world tourism
organization, Tourism is a collection of activities, services and industries which deliver a travel
experience comprising transportation, accommodation, eating and drinking establishments, retail
shops, entertainment businesses and hospitality services provided for individuals or groups
travelling away from home.”
Tourism is a complex field of study because it includes a variety of disciplines which are either
directly or indirectly related to the understanding of tourism. The study of information technology
enhances our understanding of the importance of the global distribution system and its effect on
tourism business. The study of religion and culture provides information on the cultural resources
of a destination and opportunities to develop it as a cultural destination. Tourism is so vast, so
complex, and so multifaceted that there is a wide range of subjects related to tourism.
On 4 march 1993, the international organization responsible for tourism, the World Tourism
Organization (UN-WTO) gave modern definition of tourism as 'tourism is defined as the activities
of persons traveling to and staying in place outside their usual environment for more than one
consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity
remunerated from within the place visited. The use of this broad concept makes it possible to
identify tourism between countries as well as tourism within a country. Tourism refers to all
activities of visitors, including both tourists (overnight visitors) and 'same day visitors'.

In general way tourism can be defined as the temporary movement of the people to destinations
away from their usual place or normal habitat, the activities entered upon during their stay in those
destination and the facilities developed to provide their requirements / needs. The study of tourism
involves the motivation and experience of the tourists on the one hand, the expectations of and
adjustment made by the local residents of the concerned area, and the role played by the several
interceding agencies of moving, housing, feeding, and entertaining people as they go from a place
of their habitat to another for business and or pleasure. The industry primarily incorporates five
groups of activities, i.e., transportation, accommodation, catering/retail, recreation, and travel
related services.
The main characteristics of tourism are as follows:
A movement of people to different destinations having two key elements.
One, the journey and
Two, the stay, both of which come off not within but outside the normal area or place of
domicile and work.
The movement is primarily of a temporary nature and for a relatively short duration making it
different from migration.
It brings about activities dissimilar to those of the host population of the place visited.
The prime purpose of participation in tourism is by and large recreation and certainly not the
purpose of seeking pennant residence or employment remunerated from within the place visited
and finally.
Tourism in an abstract sense is basically a pleasure activity implying a use of readily disposable
incomes and of free time and one's own free will.
1.1. SIGNIFICANCE OF TOURISM
Tourism is a multi-disciplinary segment and it is interlinked with a few distinct commercial
enterprise and administration parts. It is a movement, which influence social orders in various
ways and impacts affects their socio-economic and social advancement.

1.2TOURISM
In its modern form since the end of the second world war, tourism grown into one of the world’s
largest industry with growth rate in exceed of 5 % per annum over the past twenty years.
International tourism flows across frontier in the year 2000 reached 698 million while receipts
from these flows reach US $ 595 billion. Estimates prepared by the world tourism organization
indicates that global domestic tourism flows are at least ten times greater than international tourism
flows indicating that there were at least 6,980 million domestic arrivals in 2000. Globally, tourism
accounts for 11% of the global GDP and 8% of the world trade employment. Much of the growth
of global tourism has been generated by domestic tourism which tends to be more focused on rural
destinations. With growing interest in the intangible culture of different countries, there is a strong
potential to encourage international tourism to the rural area as well. India share of global
international tourism at 2.64 million foreign arrivals through its borders in the year 2000 is
relatively small in volume but almost twice as high in terms of US$ receipts (about 0.69%).
Tourism is also sustaining 25 million equivalent full-time jobs or 6 % of India’s workforce and
contribute more than US$ 3 billion in gross foreign exchange receipts.

1.4TOURISM IN INDIA
India has simple benefits of its rich social legacy. Travel and tourism in India is an essential of
Indian convention and society. In old times, travel was principally for journeys the heaven place
spotting the nation pulled in individual from various parts of the word. Individuals like set out to
take part in substantial scale blowouts, fairs and celebration in various parts of the nation. In such
a foundation, social convention was produced where’ Atithi Devo Bhava’ and ‘Vasudheva
kutumbakam’ got to be dictums of Indian social conduct.
Indian tourism industry is characterized by North Indian tourism, East Indian tourism, and West
Indian tourism and South Indian tourism. India can provide a clear comparison with the country
left behind. Inbound tourism is blasting; the country is pushing forward, forcing more sailors from
the world. Indian tourism industry around the world is still concerned by the custom; the state is
open fashion travel packages, reasonable air travel arrangement. Tourism is India’s largest
administrative industry. This industry offers heritage, culture, medicine, business and game tours.
The contribution of the tourism sectored to the Gross domestic product (GDP) of the country for
every 7.8 yean increase per year during 2013-2023. The visit to the destination of the cabin office
is already a variable that adds an increase in the remote traveller entry. In any case, the
development of global spending in the country can be relived from 6.2% in 2013 to 2.9%. India
produced 110 billion rupees from remote sources.

that the existing Department of Tourism would be replaced by a National Tourism Board and
create separate cadre on Indian Tourism Service to look after the functioning of the National
Tourism Board. According to Tourism Society in Britain, “Tourism is the temporary short-term
movement of people to destination outside the place where they normally live and work and their
activities during the stay at their destinations, includes movement for all purposes, as well as day
visit or excursions”. In general way tourism can be defined as the temporary movement of the
people to destinations away from their usual place or normal habitat, the activities entered upon
during their stay in those destination and the facilities developed to provide their requirements /
needs.
It also submitted proposal for partial privatization of the two airlines owned by Government of
India. By September 1987, the Central Government declared more concession for the tourism
sector, which included the tax exemption on foreign exchange earnings from tourism (50%
reduction on rupee earning and a 100% reduction on earning in dollars), drastic reduction of tariff
on imports of capital goods and concessional finance at the rate of 1 to 5% per annum. The Tourism
Development Finance Corporation was set up in 1987 with a corpus fund of Rs.100Crores. Until
then tourism sector was financed on commercial lines by the Industrial Development Bank of
India, Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India and other Commercial banks.

4 SIGNIFICANCE OF SELECTING TOURISM PLACES
In Kevadiya, the mighty Narmada flows between the Satpura and Vindhayachal, slyly giving way
to a smooth four-lane highway that leads to two remarkable structures: the Statue of Unity and the
Sardar Sarovar Dam. Twice, it seems, the country has looked at Kevadia and both times in scale,
the result has been quite remarkable. Driving up the highway, one can certainly rejoice in the fact
that the Statue of Unity is far removed from the bustle of the cities.
“Kevadiya is a shining example of eco-friendly development. On one side there is the dam and
power generation equipment and on the other, there are beautiful eco-tourism sites around SoU”.
After all, the charm of concrete skylines would fade rather quickly. Erecting the statue in a
nondescript town not only puts it on the tourist map but also creates a playground of opportunities,
one that the state government has been efficient to act upon.
In Kevadiya there were new tourist facilities like eco-tourism site, nursery, butterfly garden and
others will generate employment opportunities for the locals who would get big market for their
vegetables, fruits and milk. However shrouded in controversy it may be, our first glance at the
Statue of Unity was enough to make us gasp quite audibly. There was nothing quite like it. The
sheer size of it seemed unfathomable, my whole self as tall as Sardar Patel’s tiniest toe.
The government is adding several additional attractions, such as the recently-started 5-km river
rafting ride, to woo tourists. Other recently added attractions include the Butterfly Park, Jungle
Safari Park and Children Nutrition Park. The Tourism Corporation of Gujarat provides tents for
stay in the area. "In coming days, when the tourism-related projects here get completed,
employment opportunities will increase. Our tribal friends who produce vegetables, fruits, flowers,
and milk will get a very big market here itself.
`Namami Devi Narmade Mahotsav', held to mark the Sardar Sarovar Dam in the vicinity reaching
its full reservoir level of 138.68 metres for the first time, spent nearly four hours visiting various
attractions built around the Statue. Standing on the river island of Sadhu Bet, the Statue of Unity
is built to last a hundred years, braving earthquakes and other natural disasters. Made up of
different metals, the iron in the statue was crowdsourced under the Loha campaign, collecting
scraps from every state in the country. The outer façade in bronze, will slowly turn to a dull teal,
similar to the Statue of Liberty in New York.
21. TOURISM PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (3724807) 2019-20
DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM CIRCUIT: A CASE OF KABIRVAD-SHOOLPANESHWAR

Kevadia is well-connected to Vadodara, Ahmedabad and Surat. Vadodara is a two-hour drive from
Kevadia, with Air India and Indigo offering flights from most major cities in India. No private
vehicles are allowed after a point, but buses at half-hour intervals are available at every attraction.
Tickets for the statue and other attractions can be booked at soutickets.in
The Statue of Unity was opened to the public on October 31, 2018 to mark the birth anniversary
of the country's first home minister. Since then, it has attracted on average 8,500 tourists per day,
Modi told the gathering.
Kevadiya and Gujarat are on the world tourism map because of the Statue of Unity. The Statue of
Liberty (in the United States) attracts on average 10,000 tourists every day. But you need to keep
in mind that it is 133 years old. On the other hand, Statue of Unity is just 11 months old. Despite
that, it is attracting over 8,500 tourists every day. For instance, the viewing gallery is located where
the statue’s heart would be. That the statue stands at a height of 182 metres, also the number of
constituencies in Gujarat. The 92 metres tall Statue of Liberty, which stands on Liberty Island on
New York Harbour, was inaugurated on October 28, 1886.
That it faces the Sardar Sarovar Dam, Patel’s lifelong dream. Or that, the sculptor, Padma Bhushan
Ram V Sutar, has incorporated deliberate imperfections into the statue to reflect Sardar’s
personality, like the stitches on his sandals, all different in size. From the viewing gallery, we could
not only look at the view outside, but also another window that allowed us take a peak at the inside
of the structure.
At night there were light and sound show and was taken aback by how spectacular it truly was. Lit
up in a plethora of colours and effects, a gripping narrative wove the life of Sardar Vallabh bhai
Patel, his contribution to the newly independent India, and finally, the conception and construction
of the statue. If nothing, the noise from the audience was enough to speak of its success.
Since it opened in October 2018, the Statue of Unity has pulled crowds like no other. Officials
estimate that the statue witnesses a footfall of 7,000 visitors a day, going up to 20,000 during the
holiday season. If managing the number of visitors was a challenge, another was to hold them in
Kevadia long enough to invest in it. The birth of the Statue of Unity circuit has been handled with
an iron will.
