The Ram Van Gaman Tourism Circuit, which seeks to preserve the memories of Lord Rama's visit to Chhattisgarh, will emerge as a major attraction for tourists from India and abroad, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said on Monday.
This why the Circuit is being rapidly developed from North Korea to Sukma in the southern part of Chhattisgarh, he said.
He said Chhattisgarh has many beautiful natural sites and waterfalls along with various places of historical, archaeological, religious and cultural significance. This will establish a new identity for Chhattisgarh in the field of tourism. Baghel was reviewing various schemes here, states an official communication. He directed officials to develop circuits of important tourist destinations. He reviewed the progress of nine sites selected in the first phase of Ram Van Gaman Tourism Circuit Development. He also reviewed the ongoing Buddhist theme development work of Sirpur as a heritage site, Maa Bamleshwari Devi Temple at Dongargarh, development of the Pragyagiri site as well as the development of a tribal tourism circuit. The Secretary Tourism said the target is to complete the development work of the first phase of the Circuit by December 2021.
