Advisory Support for the Development of the Buddhist Circuit in South Asia Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized ADVISORY SUPPORT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUDDHIST CIRCUIT IN SOUTH ASIA Enhancing Opportunities for Private Sector Investment Public Disclosure Authorized in the Buddhist Circuit in South Asia TECHNICAL NOTE ON INVESTMENT ENTRY RESTRICTIONS IN TOURISM RELATED SERVICES IN INDIA November 2017 Public Disclosure Authorized Acknowledgements South Asian Buddhist heritage is indisputably one of the most important in the world. Several places in the region are directly linked to the historical Buddha’s life and the spread of his philosophy around the world. Despite the spiritual value of these places and their historical linkages, they have not been successfully developed, managed or promoted as an integrated whole in the way that other, similarly significant places around the world have.1 As a result, only a small fraction (0.005%) of the world’s 500 million Buddhists visit the key Buddhist sites of South Asia each year. Recognizing this, South Asian countries are committed to developing their Buddhist heritage as a holistic and inclusive pilgrimage route and tourism product. To this end, countries across the region have requested the World Bank’s advisory and technical support based on its long experience in unlocking tourism for lasting poverty reduction and inclusive growth goals. In response, the World Bank, with the financial support of the Government of Australia, has formulated and is implementing a Technical Assistance for the Development of the Buddhist Circuit, which this study is part of. This report was prepared under the overall guidance of Stefania Abakerli (Sr. Urban Development Planner and Coordinator of the Program for the Development of the Buddhist Circuit at the World Bank) by the Investment Policy and Promotion Team of The World Bank. The team was led by Priyanka Kher and comprised of Barbara Kotschwar, Matthew Stephenson and Maximilian Philip Eltgen. Research and the legal and institutional assessments in India were carried out by Kuriakose Varghese and Sanjay Saxena. The team would like to thank Christine Qiang, Roberto Echandi and Heba Shams for their advisory support to the team as well as Vincent Palmade, Robert Whyte, Dongwook Chun, Zhi Gan and Kunxiang Diao for their insights. The team is also grateful to the invaluable ideas, suggestions and experiences shared by those policy makers, private investors, tour operators, and tourism agencies consulted with during the research and report write up. 2 Table of Contents Executive Summary ....................................................................................................................................... 4 1.

The sector directly contributed about $72 billion dollars to the Indian economy in 2016, amounting to 3.3 percent of GDP, and directly employed 25 million people (5.8 percent of total employment). Its contribution to GDP is projected to rise by nearly 7 percent in 2017, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council.1 India’s steady growth in international tourists speaks to its vast cultural and natural resources and its price competitiveness. However, India has not yet fully exploited its vast tourism potential. India receives only slightly over 1 percent of international tourists – lower than the Netherlands, Poland and Canada, and much below France, with a domestic population nearly 20 times smaller than India’s, but that boasts 7 percent of world tourists. This is even though it has 28 UNESCO World Heritage cultural sites and 8 natural sites, in addition to several sites of religious importance – in particular for Buddhism. India has the ninth largest population of Buddhists in the world, with over 9.2 million resident Buddhists in 2010. The population of the top 10 Buddhist countries, excluding India, amounts to an estimated 451 million. If India can attract about 13% of this population, India’s tourism arrivals would become on par with Spain - the largest recipient of international travelers. India currently ranks 40th out of 136 countries in the World Economic Forum’s Travel & Tourism Competitiveness (TTC) Index 2017. India’s main source of competitiveness is price, followed by its rich natural and cultural resources. India’s lowest score, and major challenge, is in tourism service infrastructure - that is, key tourism services, such as quality accommodations, transport (e.g. car rentals), and access to services such as automatic teller machines. Private sector investment can enable India to improve its tourism service infrastructure. This Report considers the policy, legal and regulatory barriers to greater private investment in select sectors2, along the Buddhist Circuit. In addition to central level legal instruments, laws and regulations from Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh were also reviewed. The full list of laws reviewed for this report is provided in Annex 1. The report first examines national level laws and regulations applicable to businesses in most sectors of the economy and then goes on to examine sector specific laws and regulations. Under the Constitution, legislative power is divided between the Union Legislature and State legislatures- Parliament has the exclusive power to legislate on topics enumerated in List I of the Seventh Schedule, State governments on topics in List II, and both Parliament and the State Governments can legislate on the topics in List III (with enactments by the Parliament having primacy).

  • A Report on 'Domestic Tourism Expenditure'
    A Report on ‘Domestic Tourism Expenditure’ In Uttar Pradesh Based on Pooled Data (Central and State Sample) of 72nd Round NSS Schedule 21.1 (July 2014 to June 2015) ECONOMICS AND STATISTICS DIVISION PLANNING DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF UTTAR PRADESH LUCKNOW Website: http://updes.up.nic.in Email: [email protected] PREFACE The Seventy second round of NSSO (July 2014 to June 2015) was devoted exclusively for collection of data on 'Domestic Tourism Expenditure'. Uttar Pradesh State is a partner in NSS surveys since 9th round (1955), generally on equal matching basis of samples. The present report on "A Report on ‘Domestic Tourism Expenditure’ In Uttar Pradesh" is based on the result of pooled data of central and state sample of Uttar Pradesh. National Statistical Commission constituted a professional committee under the Chairmanship of Prof. R.Radhakrishna, to identify the preconditions for pooling of Central and State Sample NSS data, to suggest appropriate methodology for pooling the data and to bridge the data gaps and in turn strengthen the database for decentralized planning and governance. The necessity for pooling the Central and State sample data arose due to the growing need for improving the precision of estimates of policy parameters such as the labour force participation, level of living and well being, incidence of poverty, State Domestic Product (SDP), District Domestic Product(DDP) etc., and for strengthening the database at district level required for decentralized governance. Accordingly the NSC professional committee has recommended certain poolability tests and the methodologies for pooling of Central and State sample data of NSS. In the workshop which was held on 19th and 20thSeptember 2018 at Kolkata, it was demonstrated about the poolability tests and pooling the two sets of data and estimating the parameters based on two methods- (1) Matching ratio method and (2) Inverse Weight of the Variance of estimates method.

  • Opportunities for the Development of Drowning Interventions in West Bengal, India: a Review of Policy and Government Programs M
    Gupta et al. BMC Public Health (2020) 20:704 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-08868-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Opportunities for the development of drowning interventions in West Bengal, India: a review of policy and government programs M. Gupta1* , A. B. Zwi2 and J. Jagnoor3 Abstract Background: Four million people living in the Indian Sundarbans region in the state of West Bengal face a particularly high risk of drowning due to rurality, presence of open water, lack of accessible health systems and poor infrastructure. Although the World Health Organization has identified several interventions that may prevent drowning in rural low-and middle-income country contexts, none are currently implemented in this region. This study aims to conduct contextual policy analysis for the development of a drowning program. Implementation of a drowning program should consider leveraging existing structures and resources, as interventions that build on policy targets or government programs are more likely to be sustainable and scalable. Methods: A detailed content review of national and state policy (West Bengal) was conducted to identify policy principles and/or specific government programs that may be leveraged for drowning interventions. The enablers and barriers of these programs as well as their implementation reach were assessed through a systematic literature review. Identified policies and programs were also assessed to understand how they catered for underserved groups and their implications for equity. Results: Three programs were identified that may be leveraged for the implementation of drowning interventions such as supervised childcare, provision of home-based barriers, swim and rescue skills training and community first responder training: the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS), Self-Help Group (SHG) and Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) programs.

  • COVID Lockdown, How People Managed and Impact of Welfare Schemes on Informal Sector Workers: Evidence from Delhi Slums* Saudamini Das1 Ajit Mishra2
    COVID lockdown, how people managed and impact of welfare schemes on informal sector workers: Evidence from Delhi slums Saudamini Das Ajit Mishra COVID lockdown, how people managed and impact of welfare schemes on informal sector workers: Evidence from Delhi slums* Saudamini Das1 Ajit Mishra2 Abstract COVID-19 pandemic is likely to accentuate poverty and vulnerability of people at the margin for a number of reasons like lockdown, relocation to native places having no scope for gainful employment, health effects, opening of work with many restrictions, future uncertainty, etc. Following the lockdown in March, the central and state governments announced many welfare measures like direct cash transfer, food grain distribution through public distribution system, community kitchen and many others to reduce the negative effect of the lockdown and provide some basic minimum income to the poorer class, though the effects are yet to be assessed. This paper studies 199 slum households in Zakhira and Kirti Nagar areas of Delhi during April- May 2020 to find out their coping and the benefits they received from these welfare schemes. Sample consisted of people like wage labour, e-rickshaw drivers, auto drivers, people doing small private jobs, street vendors, construction workers, etc. The results show the households to have consumed 2.5 meals per day and have used up their savings or have borrowed from friends. The welfare schemes were marginally helpful. Only 76% of the households were benefited by at least one of the nine schemes announced by the government and the average gain was a meagre Rs984/ per household, with an average family size of 5.8 persons, for one lockdown month.
