CM Raghubar Das taking part in Kalash Yatra at Sidhgora

Religious tourism has been an old sector providing employment to scores of people across the country. This has prompted the state government led by chief minister Raghubar Das to develop the state as a religious tourism destination.

Already, the Government is in the process to invest around Rs 600-crore in developing religious tourism circuit at Rajrappa, Ithkori, Deoghar, Basukinath, Parasnath, Anjanidham, and Maluti. 

The step can attract a large number of domestic and foreign tourists to the state and the revenue from them can help in the economic growth of the state. "This can take the state forward to achieve the objective of making a developed State by 2022", says the CM Das. A couple of days back, Das, while addressing media after performing ‘Jalabhishek’ (offering holy water) to Lord Shiva at Surya Mandir at Sidgora on the third Monday of the auspicious month of 'Shravan, disclosed his government's religious tourism plan.
