Patna to be developed as Major Tourism destination

Mr. Nitish Kumar has correctly understood that Tourism is one of the avenues that will accelerate the growth in Bihar. In a recent annoucement he has said that Patna will be developed as an important tourist destination.
Two projects where work is in progress in full swing at Patna are

1. An international class museum on Belly road that will showcase the heritage and history of Bihar
2. Buddha Smriti Park: A Buddha Smriti park is being setup at the site of the old Patna Jail at the cost of Rs. 150 crores. Nitish Kumar has requested Dalai Lama to innaugurate the park. This will increase the flow of international tourists to Patna and Bihar

Similarly he is focusing on developing various other tourism locations, improving connectivity and  infrastructure in and around these tourism locations and providing better stay facilities in these locations.

More information on the above steps is available in the Press release of the state government.
