Prologue Digital technology has steered the third industrial revolution and influenced human civilization as a whole. A number of industries such as Media, Telecom, Retail and Technology have witnessed unprecedented disruptions and continue to evolve their existing infrastructure to meet the challenge. The telecom explosion in India has percolated to every corner of the country resulting in easy access to data, with Over-The-Top (OTT) media services changing how people watch television.

  • A Study of the Pilgrimage Tourism of Kashmir
    1 A STUDY OF THE PILGRIMAGE TOURISM OF KASHMIR ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF doctor of $f)tlQSfopf)j^ IN COMMERCE By SHAHNAWAZ AHMAD DAR UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. S.M. IMAMUL HAQUE READER DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY AllGARH (INDIA) 2008 ABSTRACT Tourism is a phenomenon which was a strong motive behind the movement of people in ancient time and is still the strongest motive for causing the movement of millions of people across the regional, national and international boundaries. Travel which initially started with the intention to fulfil the religious/spiritual/pilgrimage needs of a person is again becoming the largest motivator to undertake travel. India recorded 4.43 million international tourist arrivals and over 400 million domestic tourists in 2006. In the same year, Indian tourism generated US$ 6 billion foreign exchange and contributed 5.83% to the GDP. Tourism to India means the third largest foreign exchange earner and one of the largest employment generating industry. India is gifted by a miniature India in the form of State of Jammu and Kashmir. The State comprises three divisions namely, Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. Each division has its own unique climate, geographical setting, religious beliefs, food pattern, art, culture and traditions and is full of tourism assets which are also distinctive. Jammu division is a Hindu dominant area. It has innumerable temples spread through out its length and breadth. Jammu is also called as ''City of Temples'". Ladakh, also called as the ''Land of Lamas", is a mountainous country. It is dominated by Buddhist population.
