Case studies of four selected working groups are discussed. Further the study focuses on the typology of entrepreneurs in the select locations. The data are also analyzed quantitatively to describe the strategy being used to bring value in the tourism activity. Several suggestions are made to focus on further prospects of tourism in Varanasi, overall country and in the world as a whole.

  • Modeling the Efficacy of the Ganga Action Plan's Restoration of The
    Modeling the Efficacy of the Ganga Action Plan’s Restoration of the Ganga River, India By Shaw Lacy A thesis submitted In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Science Natural Resources and Environment at The University of Michigan August 2006 Thesis Committee: Professor Michael Wiley Professor Jonathan Bulkley Abstract. To combat rising levels of water pollution in the Ganges River, the Indian gov- ernment initiated the Ganga Action Plan (GAP) in 1984. After twenty years, it is a com- mon perception that the GAP has failed to achieve the goals of a cleaner river. Using available government data on pollution levels and hydrology, I undertook an of the GAP efficacy for fifteen pollution parameters across 52 water quality sampling points moni- tored by India’s Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) within the Ganga Basin. Dis- solved oxygen, BOD, and COD showed a significant improvement of water quality after twenty years. In addition, fecal and total coliform levels, as well as concentrations of cal- cium, magnesium, and TDS all showed a significant decline. Building on this analysis, a GIS analysis was used to create a spatial model of the majority of the Ganga River net- work using a reach-based ecological classification approach. Using recent GAP monitor- ing data, a multiple linear regression model of expected pollutant loads within each reach (VSEC unit) was created. This model was then used to inventory water quality across the entire basin, based on CPCB criteria. My analysis showed 208 river km were class A, 1,142 river km were class B, 684 river km were class C, 1,614 river km were class D, and 10,403 river km were class E.

  • Varanasi – a Treasure of Rich Cultural Heritage of India
    Varanasi – A Treasure of Rich Cultural Heritage of India Benaras, name given by Britishers was formally known as Varanasi, Kashi, Avimukta, Mahashmashana. About the history of Benaras Mark Twain, Who visited around the world wrote, “Benaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together.” Besides Jerusalem, Athens, Peking and Mecca, Varanasi is the only city living for last four thousand years. This can be witnessed through every tourist eyes. As Jerusalem and Athens are having western and modern touch moreover. They changed their lifestyle, traditions, behaviour and culture which, can be marked in churches. But in Kashi even thousand years back as god was worshipped, till today it is followed with the same tradition, values and even with similar dressing sense. Vedas, Upanishads in Sanskrit are still taught in Varanasi henceforth the numbers of students are increasing for it. It is also the center for learning yoga, palmistry, astrology, Sanskrit, Hinduism and history of 36 crore gods and goddesses. Varanasi is situated between the river Varuna in north and Assi in the south hence it is named as Varanasi. It represents India on account of its prestigious traditions, Temples, Shrines, Asrams, Muths, Holy Ganges River and respected Hindu religion. Varanasi has captivating charm and spiritual challenge, which can be seen in its exaggerated rituals, festive, cultural activities performed in the city. If the boon of life starts at Dashashwamedh Ghat than it ends at Manikarnika; a unique combination of life and death in the desire of salvation attracts the pilgrims.
