The Ministry of Tourism has launched exclusive website on rural destinations - www.exploreruralindia.org . Every rural community in our country has its own folklore, craft and cultural tradition, which can provide a unique experience to the visitors. The Ministry of Tourism has identified more than 50 villages and released financial assistance of 50 lakh rupees each for development of infrastructure. Besides this, the Ministry of Tourism in partnership with UNDP has also launched the endogenous tourism project linked to the rural tourism scheme to facilitate capacity building, thereby enabling low-income village communities to create and articulate their skills from within to showcase its art, craft and culture.
The newly launched site contains details of the each rural destination along with visuals of its art and craft, monuments, dances and other traditions. It also has interactive maps showing various facets of rural life. The Site has also links with other destinations in the State, traveler tips, etc.
