On the sidelines of digital launching of the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) projects from Jammu and Kashmir through video- conferencing on Sunday, the PM was questioned by Utkal University student Ankita Kundu about the ways of pro- moting Odisha’s tourism. “The first requirement of tourism is to take pride in our tourist places. Unless we pride ourselves on our tourist poten- tial, we cannot fully explore its potential. During my visit to the US, I was shown a 400-year-old landmark in Pennsylvania. In our country, we can boast of thousands of years old land- marks. Home-stay is popular throughout the world. We need to promote this in a big way to help our tourism,” Modi replied. Hailing Odisha’s tourism, he said, “The State’s potential in tourism is vast. With its beach- es, heritage and monuments like Konark, the State has amazing tourist sites. We have to work for their promotion and also need to focus on cleanliness and use of technology and entrepre- neurship in the sector.” The PM launched the Phase-II RUSA projects worth Rs 3,300 crore in the higher education sector in various parts of the country, including Rs 15 crore Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Career Hub at the Utkal University and model colleges in six aspirational dis- tricts. Modi answered queries from students from across the country after connecting with them digitally. Over one lakh students from various States were digitally connected with Modi while over 2.5 crore oth- ers were able to connect with this interaction through social media.
