IndiGo’s ₹100 Crore CSR Contribution

In a landmark development, IndiGo Airlines committed ₹100 crore from its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) fund for the renovation of the historic Man Singh Fort in Gwalior. The fort, a significant heritage site, will receive much-needed restoration work, contributing to the region’s growing tourism appeal.

CM Mohan Yadav’s Vision for Madhya Pradesh’s Growth

Speaking at the conclave, CM Yadav expressed his confidence in Madhya Pradesh’s future, saying, “The conclave has brought many opportunities for local people, and the state will continue on the path of progress.” He also praised India’s economic achievements, noting the country’s rise to becoming the world’s fourth-largest economy, with a vision to become the third-largest soon.

In a special announcement, the Chief Minister revealed a ₹50 crore initiative for building a permanent campus of Man Singh University in Gwalior. Highlighting Gwalior’s unique cultural heritage, he remarked that the beauty of landmarks like Man Singh Palace was so distinctive that “even Asian Paints would fail to match its colors.”

Tourism Minister’s Push for Investment

Tourism Minister Dharmendra Bhav Singh Lodhi emphasized that Madhya Pradesh is ‘rolling out the red carpet’ for investors, with the introduction of a single-window tourism policy. This new policy has streamlined the process by reducing required permissions from 30 to just 10, aiming to make the state more investor-friendly. He also mentioned the state’s booming tourism sector, with over 13.47 crore tourists visiting Madhya Pradesh last year alone.

Celebrity Engagement and Future of Cinema in MP

In an inspiring session, actor Piyush Mishra shared his journey from Gwalior to Bollywood, stressing the need for proper training and infrastructure for aspiring actors and filmmakers in Madhya Pradesh. Mishra’s speech underscored the need for cinema-focused facilities in the state to nurture future talent and foster the regional film industry.

Investors and Industry Leaders

The conclave also saw active participation from leading investors and industry experts. Some notable figures who engaged in one-on-one discussions with CM Yadav included:

  • Aman Nath, Director, Neemrana Hotels Pvt. Ltd.
  • Vineet Mishra, VP Operations, Accor South Asia
  • Ravi Gosain, President, Indian Association of Tour Operators
  • KK Muhammad, Former Regional Director, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI)
  • Ratish Nanda, CEO, Aga Khan Trust for Culture in India
  • Asad Lalljee, SVP Essar Group & CEO, Avid Learning

Additionally, several other industry leaders from the hospitality, healthcare, adventure, and cultural sectors also attended the conclave.

Looking Ahead: Madhya Pradesh as a Tourism Hub

The Regional Tourism Conclave in Gwalior was a key event for the state, reinforcing Madhya Pradesh’s commitment to enhancing its tourism infrastructure and cultural heritage. The influx of investment, along with key initiatives like the restoration of Man Singh Fort, positions the state as a major player in India’s tourism industry. With improved policies, better infrastructure, and a concerted push from both the government and private sectors, Madhya Pradesh is well on its way to becoming one of the country’s leading tourism hubs.

The Regional Tourism Conclave 2020 successfully brought together stakeholders from various industries, including tourism, hospitality, and cultural heritage, to foster greater investment and development in the region. The ₹3,500 crore worth of investment proposals, coupled with key initiatives for infrastructure and heritage restoration, signals a bright future for Madhya Pradesh’s tourism sector.
