Post budget reaction from Rev. Daaji – Guide of Heartfulness and President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission on the Spiritual and Conference Tourism

“It is heartening to see that spiritual and conference tourism has been on a rise since the last year and that the focus is very much there on this area in this year’s budget too. The Indian Government is making provisions towards spiritual pilgrimage through Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Heritage Augmentation Drive or PRASAD Scheme and I think it is a great milestone. People from around the world are flocking to centres in India like Kanha Shanti Vanam that enable inner transformation. Last year alone Kanha Shanti Vanam had half a million footfalls. There are new airports in the pipeline, better connectivity and accessibility by road, rail or air, better infrastructure and technology connecting cities through tier 1, 2, 3 and 4. It can help generate more livelihoods and create an ecosystem as an economic booster. This is a remarkable time for tourism sector with visitors globally who want to come to India to explore and benefit from spiritual tourism here.” – Rev. Daaji (Kamlesh D. Patel) – Guide of Heartfulness and President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission.
