A Vision for Joint Tourism Growth

Madhya Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla, present at the event, called the growing cooperation in tourism a part of a “threefold revolution” — industrial, green, and tourism-based development. He emphasized that both states are fertile ground for this transformation.

A tourism revolution in Madhya Pradesh will bring employment and inclusive development,” he added.

Ganga-Narmada Corridor and Religious Circuits in Focus

Principal Secretary of MP Tourism Board, Shivshekhar Shukla, unveiled plans for a Ganga-Narmada Tourism Corridor, which will connect major religious and heritage destinations such as Prayagraj, Ayodhya, Varanasi, Omkareshwar, and Mahakaleshwar. This initiative is expected to give a new dimension to spiritual and cultural tourism in northern and central India.

In addition, both states agreed to conduct joint research and development on tourism circuits such as:

  • Shri Ram Path Gaman
  • Shri Krishna Pathey
  • Buddha Circuit

These are intended to foster pilgrimage tourism and deepen inter-state cultural links.

Infrastructure and Connectivity Improvements

Tourism Minister Dharmendra Lodhi highlighted that under Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav’s leadership, tourism infrastructure in Madhya Pradesh is undergoing rapid transformation. He invited investors to be part of the growth story in areas like eco-tourism, heritage hotels, and adventure tourism.

Improved air and rail connectivity now links Lucknow, Varanasi, Agra, and Prayagraj with Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, Khajuraho, and Gwalior. Madhya Pradesh has also expanded its road network, improving access to key destinations within the state.
