This financial assistance is extended, subject to availability of funds, adherence to scheme guidelines and other instructions issued from time to time, submission of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) by the State Governments, inter-se priority etc. In addition, Government of India under its initiative for ‘Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI)’ has also provided financial assistance to the States for development of tourism projects. Ministry of Tourism remains in active consultation with State Governments, including in the states of Konkan region, to support tourism development through regular review and coordination meetings at different levels. Projects are considered in accordance with the laid-down norms, subject to feasibility, availability of funds and fulfilment of scheme criteria. Details of the projects sanctioned under SD, SD2.0, CBDD, PRASHAD and SASCI in the country including Konkan Region is annexed. Ministry of Tourism revamped the Swadesh Darshan scheme as Swadesh Darshan 2.0 with the objective to develop sustainable and responsible tourism destinations in the country following a destination & tourist-centric approach.
