This policy document outlines the Ministry of Tourism's PRASAD (Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual, Heritage Augmentation Drive) and Swadesh Darshan schemes.
**PRASAD Scheme:** This scheme provides financial assistance to State Governments and Union Territory Administrations for tourism infrastructure development at identified religious and heritage sites. Since its launch, 54 projects have been sanctioned in 28 States/UTs. Project implementation is the responsibility of the respective State/UT government. Delays are attributed to factors such as tendering processes, limited agency capacity, planning issues, and document submission. The Ministry monitors project progress and encourages timely completion.
**Swadesh Darshan Scheme:** Under this scheme, 76 projects were sanctioned for Rs. 5290.30 Crore under identified thematic circuits. The scheme was revamped as Swadesh Darshan 2.0 (SD2.0) to develop sustainable and responsible tourism destinations, with 52 projects sanctioned for Rs. 2108.87 Crore. Project selection considers scheme guidelines, state/UT consultations, regional/cultural diversity, future tourism potential, connectivity, and alignment with sustainable tourism. The original Swadesh Darshan scheme included thematic circuits such as Rural, Himalayan, Tribal, Ecotourism, Wildlife, Coastal, and Northeast.
**Other Initiatives:** The Ministry of Tourism launched the "Dekho Apna Desh" initiative in January 2020 to promote domestic tourism through webinars, quizzes, seminars, promotional events, and social media. The Capacity Building for Service Providers (CBSP) scheme aims to provide education, training, and certification to tourism service providers, including small tour operators, local artisans, and homestay providers.

The Ministry of Tourism under the “Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual, Heritage Augmentation Drive”
(PRASHAD) provides financial assistance to the State Governments and Union Territory Administrations for
development of tourism infrastructure at identified religious and heritage sites across the country. Since the
launch of the Scheme, the Ministry of Tourism has sanctioned 54 projects in 28 States/UTs, the details of
which are given in the Annexure-I.
The projects sanctioned under the said scheme are implemented by the State/UT Government concerned. The
delay in the completion of projects under the PRASHAD scheme arise from various factors such as delays in
the tendering process, limited capacity of the State Implementing Agency, untimely project planning and
design, and non-submission of requisite documents.
However, the Ministry of Tourism regularly monitors the progress of project and also encourages respective
State Government/ UT Administrations/ Central Agencies to complete the projects in a time bound manner.
The Ministry of Tourism under Swadesh Darshan scheme sanctioned 76 projects under identified thematic
circuits for Rs.5290.30 Crore. Further, the Ministry revamped the scheme as Swadesh Darshan 2.0 (SD2.0) to
develop sustainable and responsible tourism destinations and sanctioned 52 projects for Rs.2108.87 Crore. The
details of these projects are given in the Annexure-II.
The selection of the tourism development projects under the schemes is done in synergy with scheme
guidelines and in close consultation with the concerned State Governments/Union Territory Administrations,
while taking into account the regional and cultural diversity of India.
Further, a holistic development approach is adopted in identification of destinations/ projects under the
Swadesh Darshan 2.0 scheme, which includes future tourism potential, connectivity, alignment with
sustainable and responsible tourism, etc.
Under the Swadesh Darshan scheme, the Ministry of Tourism has sanctioned 76 projects under different
thematic circuits for Rs.5290.30 Crore across the country, including themes such as Rural, Himalayan, Tribal,
Eco-tourism, Wildlife, Coastal, Northeast, etc.
The Ministry of Tourism had launched the Dekho Apna Desh initiative in January 2020 for promotion of
domestic tourism in the country. Under this initiative, the Ministry promotes tourism destinations and products
of India through various activities such as Webinars, Quiz, Pledge, Seminars, Tourism Promotional Events,
Fam tours, Website, social media etc.
The Ministry of Tourism has put in place the Scheme of “Capacity Building for Service Providers” (CBSP) to
provide education, training and certification to the tourism service providers including small tour operators,
local artisans and homestay providers, to up-grade manpower at every strata of tourism industry in order to
capitalize the vast tourism potential of the country to the fullest, and provide professional expertise to the local
populace as well as create fresh opportunities in the tourism sector.
This information was given by Union Minister for Tourism and Culture Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat in a
written reply in Lok Sabha today.
