Rajasthan Govt Signs MoUs Worth ₹1.37 Trillion to Boost Tourism Sector

The Rajasthan government has signed around 1,600 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) aimed at strengthening the tourism sector, as per the news reports. These agreements collectively represent an investment of ₹1.37 trillion, covering a range of tourism-related projects such as hotels, resorts, heritage properties, wellness centres, and eco-tourism ventures.

Projects and Progress So Far

Out of the total MoUs, 29 projects are currently operational, while 213 have reached the groundbreaking stage. These 242 projects account for ₹28,200 crore in investment and are expected to create around 13,500 jobs. In total, the signed MoUs are projected to generate 1.9 lakh employment opportunities across Rajasthan.

Review Mechanism and Department Roles

The state government has introduced a multi-level monitoring system to oversee implementation. Tourism projects are reviewed monthly by the Chief Minister, every 15 days by the Chief Secretary, and weekly by senior officials. District-level responsibilities have also been assigned to ensure local follow-ups and progress tracking.

Rising Rajasthan to Boost Tourism Sector
