Tourism Ministry of India to launch ‘Know Your India’ drive

MUMBAI: The Government of India is looking at engaging the youth and kids of the country via a new initiative called ‘Know Your India’ or ‘Bharat Ko Jaano’ drive. The government is urging kids to see concealed gems all over India head overseas for vacationing with this drive.

 

Union minister of culture & tourism Mahesh Sharma said, “India is an undiscovered treasure hunt, so if powers are channelized in the proper direction, we'll have more Indians lingering to discover the anonymous locations in India,” said Sharma.

 

“How many of you've toured Delhi zoo? We sense tours to domestic destinations that provide knowledge regarding our culture and history will benefit if initiated in school set of courses,” he added.

 

However, Sharma added that the proposal was in a primary phase.

 

When queried as to how the culture ministry planned to make sure the security of tombstones that are still ignored in spite of being taken care of by the ASI (Archaeological Survey of India), Sharma said, “We’ve heard that Archaeological Survey of India isn't working properly and we believe it. But we expect to handle this problem, along with many others quickly and definitely.”
