OUR TOPIC FOR EMINENT SCHOLARS

IN MAKING INDIA IS LATE APJ ABDUL
KALAM.

Introduction
The book examines in depth the weakness and the strength of India, and offers a vision of
how India can emerge to be among the world's first four economic powers by 2020. The
Vision is dedicated to a young girl whom Kalam met and asked her "what was your dream"
for which the young girl replied "I want to live in a developed India." In his book India
2020 Kalam strongly advocates an action plan to develop India into a strong nation by the
year 2020. He regards his nation as a knowledge superpower and developed nation.
Dr.Kalam has given a brief about the ways to develop India by 2020. He has set up a target
for all the youth in India on how to make India developed by 2020. Kalam has also said that
it should be the dream of all citizens to see India a developed country, only then the dream
would come true.
India will be developed only when the team is in struggle and the captain has to lead the
team in front. When a team achieves the victory he must be behind the team. It also focuses
on the ways India can go ahead in technology, development and more.

OBJECTIVES OF ABJ ABDUL KALAMS VISION 2020

Agriculture and food processing Aimed at doubling the present production of

agricultural and food processing.
Infrastructure with reliable electric power Providing urban amenities to rural areas,
and increasing solar power operations.
Education and Healthcare Directed towards illiteracy, social security, and overall
health for the population.

Page | 3

Information and Communication Technology For increased e-governance to

promote education in remote areas, telecommunication, and telemedicine.
Critical technologies and strategic industries The growth of nuclear technology,
space technology and defense technology.
Decrease the rate of poverty and illiteracy,make people educated through
media,communities, social net working sites and increase the Indian market rate
CURRENCY by purchasing Indian manufactured goods.

FIVE WAYS APJ WANTED TO CHANGE

INDIA
The What Can I Give movement
In 2012, Dr Kalam launched the self-governed 'What Can I Give
Movement to spread the message and idea of 'giving' among
the youth. And the movement strived to replace the attitude of
greed and corruption that comes from the thought, "what can I
take" with an attitude eponymous with the initiative.

Billion Beats
Dr Kalam's paper Billion Beats, in circulation since 2007, was
later converted into a Facebook page on which Dr Kalam shared
his interactions with achievers and their success stories. He also
put forth his thoughts on making India a developed nation
before the year 2020.

Page | 4

India Vision 2020

This plan, initially a a document prepared by the Technology
Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC) of
India's Department of Science and Technology under the
chairmanship of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam was later elaborated on
in his book wherein he recognised five core areas "for
integrated action to double the growth rate of GDP" in India.
These five areas were agriculture, infrastructure, education and
healthcare, information and communication technologies, and
Critical technologies and strategic industries.

PURA
The Provision of Urban Amenities to Rural Areas programme
was a programme proposed by Dr Kalam wherein the aim was
to create economic opportunities outside cities and reverse the
rural-urban migration. The idea was to achieve this by building
roads, a better network of electronic and other communication
and establishing technical and professional institutions in
villages.

Igniting Minds
The programme, named after Dr Kalam's bestseller, aimed to
connect over one lakh Indian students to scientists, technocrats
and leaders to make education in science more interesting.
Started by Vijnana Bharti, Igniting Minds made the leaders of
the Indian scientific community digitally available for
interactions, one of whom, was missile man, Dr Kalam.

According to me , India in 2020will be a very

developed country in the world there will be
known for the following :

High literacy rate

Best infrastructure
Best medical facility
Strong defence power and equipment
Corruption free country
Minimum rate of poverty
Availability
of

CONCLUSION
MESSAGE:
It is the nature of man to rise to greatness if greatness is
expected
of
him,
John
Steinbeck.
India is set to become a politically mature, economically
vibrant, socially stable, culturally rich and militarily strong
country with in a short span if the present trend persists. Our
former President, Dr.A.P.J. Abdul Kalam has a vision that by
2020
India
will
become
a
developed
country.
When small countries can lead why not India with a population
of billion plus? Let us not only make managers but also leaders
who can motivate and inspire passion among the people.
Presently Indians are leaving for overseas for better pastures
and the day is not far away where foreigners will come and
work
in
our
country.
Let us have fire and passion to make India a great nation. The

Page | 7

youth have to be trained, groomed and guided in a proper

direction by challenging their energies and efforts in a right
perspective. Providing right education and character and laying
stress on ethical values can tip the scales in favour a vibrant
nation. Let us benchmark with the best in the world. Let us dare
to dream big, think big and achieve big. Everyone should note
that
to
aim
low
is
a
crime.
I am confident and bullish that India will become a developed
nation much before 2020. And also I strongly believe that we
will lead the leaders of the developed countries as a Super
Power
by
2050.
The dream is not what you see in sleep. Dream is the thing
which does not let you sleep.

Its a city outfitted with high-tech communication

capabilities.
It uses digital technology to enhance performance
and well-being, to reduce costs and resource
consumption, and to engage more effectively and
actively with its citizens.
Sectors that have been developing smart city
technology include government services, transport
and
traffic
management,
energy, health
care, water, innovative urban agriculture and
waste management.
Smart city applications are developed with the goal
of improving the management of urban flows and
allowing for real time responses to challenges.
A smart city may therefore be more prepared to
respond to challenges than one with a simple
'transactional' relationship with its citizens.
Other terms that have been used for similar
concepts
include
cyberVille,
digital
city,
electronic communities, flexicity, information
city, 'intelligent city', knowledge-based city,
'MESH city', telecity, teletopia, 'Ubiquitous city',

complexity of humans
The complexity of humans has been dealt with by
disciplines like Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology,
Cybernetics, and so on but it seems that their results
are not really plausible to offer solutions for the
majority of the population, as witnessed by increasing
of mental diseases to the date.

Scope of Smart Cities in India

India is drawing on the development of smart cities
at the global level.
Prime Minister Narendra Modis vision Digital
India, has a plan to build 100 smart cities across
the country.
Modi in his speech said, Cities in the past were
built on riverbanks.
They are now built along highways. But in the
future, they will be built based on availability of
optical fiber networks and next-generation
infrastructure.
Digital India envisages making India a leader in
digitally delivering services in the health,
education, banking sectors.
Modi announced an investment of $1.2 billion in
smart cities with more funding coming from private
sectors and abroad.

P a g e | 13

PM Modis plan to build I-ways is running behind its

time, with only 12 percent of the target being met
as of now.

Commercialization
Large
IT,

Electric, IBM

telecommunication

companies such as Cisco, Schneider
and Microsoft have developed new
initiatives for intelligent cities as well.

Cisco, launched the Global Intelligent Urbanization

initiative to help cities around the world using the
network as the fourth utility for integrated city
management, better quality of life for citizens, and
economic development.

IBM announced its Smarter Cities to stimulate

economic growth and quality of life in cities and
metropolitan areas with the activation of new
approaches of thinking and acting in the urban
ecosystem.

India is an agrarian country and majority of its

people are into farming practices.

P a g e | 14

There are still many sectors in which India needs to

catch up before planning for smart cities.
Basic requirements in India like healthcare, food,
electricity, education etc are at short hand.
88% of class 8 students in rural India are unable to
read class 1 text, and 500 million without
secondary education or skills training.
300 million people in India still lack electricity, and
around 20 million tonnes of grain is lost every year
due to bad warehouse facilities.
In the healthcare sector, we have - as many
doctors per capita as compared to China and
Brazil.
Unless India fulfills these basic necessities of its
people, the ground for development will never be
strong.

CONCLUSION
The increased growth of smart cities will drive the
need to innovate and provide solutions to foster
convergence within the city.

P a g e | 15

The smart city market is growing, especially with

the rapid rate of urbanization taking place, with the
market expected to be a $1.5 trillion by 2020.
The significant growth presents certain challenges
for organisations and city authorities.
As much as the vision of smart cities is incredible
and rational, its implementation on India at the
given socio-economic condition, might be a tad bit
difficult.
However, as a fast developing economy, the
country needs to keep up with the global
standards.
Hence, the execution of this plan could make India
take a major leap in the race of development.

SUGGESTION
we as Indians dont need development.
We need the poor or beggers to be at least be at a
level of middle class .
politicians make promises of making development
s so that they get elected next time and we stupid
Indians vote them.
Think again what is important making a road which
costs crores or elimanating poverty which costs
cores.

P a g e | 16

People are fools and politicians make more fool of

us and we agree and follow and fight and do riots
for them destroying our public property which they
have created using our money in the form of taxes.
Think and act Smartly.

TOPIC 4

INTRODUCTION

Tourism is travel for pleasure; also the theory and practice of

touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and
entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours.
Tourism may be international, or within the travellers country.
The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more
generally, in terms which go "beyond the common perception
of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only ", as people
"traveling to and staying in places outside their usual
environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure,
business and other purposes.

Tourism can be domestic or international, and international

tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a
country's balance of payments. Today, tourism is a major
source of income for many countries, and affects the economy
of both the source and host countries, in some cases being of
vital importance.

P a g e | 26

Tourism suffered as a result of a strong economic slowdown of

the late-2000s recession, between the second half of 2008 and
the end of 2009, and the outbreak of the H1N1 influenza virus.
But slowly recovered. International tourism receipts (the travel
item in the balance of payments) grew to US$1.03 trillion (740
billion) in 2011, corresponding to an increase in real terms of
3.8% from 2010.International tourist arrivals surpassed the
milestone of 1 billion tourists globally for the first time in 2012.
Emerging markets such as Russia and Brazil had significantly
increased their spending over the previous decade.

OBJECTIVES
DEVELOPMENT

OF

TOURISM

This section will show why tourism is so important to the

different organisations involved in tourism development. Each
organisation has different objectives and these can be classified
as follows: Economic, environmental, socio-cultural and
political. Look at each of these in detail because you will be
expected to apply your knowledge and understanding of the
objectives of tourism development to both UK and overseas
case studies.

Economic Objectives
Tourism is the world's largest industry and one of the objectives
of tourism development is economic gain. This is not a narrow
matter of private sector providers of tourism services making a
profit.

P a g e | 27

In economic terms the travel and tourism industry is able to do

three key things: 1- It gives vigour to economies. 2 - It offers
people jobs and career prospects. 3 - It stimulates
development.
It does this through:
1 - Creating employment - direct and indirect
2 - Increasing foreign currency earnings
3 - Increasing visitor numbers and visitor spending withing the
local economy
4 - Increasing income for commercial operators
5 - Economic development and regeneration.

Environmental Objectives
The saying 'tourism destroys tourism' is well known: protection
of the environment is essential in areas that are subject to
damage by tourist numbers. Thus the main environmental
objective of tourism are as follows:
1 - Habitat preservation
2 - Regeneration and conservation of the build and natural
environment
3 - Environmental education
4 - Environmental improvements.

Socio-cultural Objectives

P a g e | 28

You need to be aware of and understand how tourism

development cane effect the lives of people who lives in the
tourist destination. Tourism brings people of different countries
together and we all need to increase our awareness and
understanding of different cultures. Tourism can generate
income and provide funds to keep traditional cultures alive and
to improve the quality of life for the host population. The main
socio-cultural objectives of tourism development are:
1 - To promote understanding of different cultures
2 - To improve quality of life for the local population
3 - To provide community facilities, as well as tourist facilities
4 - To develop a sense of pride in traditional culture and
identity.

Political Objectives
Governments can have an influence on the patterns of travel
not only directly, through their policies but also indirectly,
through their wider activities and the political climate that they
promote. Changes in the political system in Eastern Europe,
South Africa and the Far East (e.g. Cambodia and Vietnam)
have led to greater freedom of movement for travellers.
Investment by governments in the infrastructure of countries
such as the United Arab Emirates has also led to an increase in
visitor numbers and visitor spending. Beyond the economic and
environmental objectives considered above, political objectives
can include the following:
1 - Enhancing the image of an area
2 - Creating a regional or national identity.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF TOURIST

The specific strength and weakness of the product in relation to
the market segments identified are analysed along with the
existing opportunities and threats. A typical SWOT analysis
matrix in case of India in reaction to competitive destinations is
as under:There are various environmental forces influence the tourism
industry. The other aspect of this industry is that it is heavily
dependent on a set of other industries who are in turn
dependant on the tourist flow for their business. This
combination of various industries has to work as one to
increase the tourists traffic of the country. This set of industries
takes care of the activities that support tourism industry are:

The Hotel Industry

Airlines
The Railways
Road Networks
The Tour Operators
The Government

These facilities decide the status of a place in a tourist's

portfolio. They on one hand attract tourists to a particular
destination and on the other act as a major demotivating factor
if they are unable to fulfil the expectations of the visitors. So

TOURIST PLACE IN INDIA

P a g e | 31

CONCLUSION
Words are few to explain the beauty of India. India is a country
with diversified culture and traditions.
The natural beauty of India, festivals, dresses, heritage sites of
India are very popular among tourists. These things fascinate
travelers to come here.

India has so many scenic blesses places like Kerala, Darjeeling,

Goa, Kashmir, Shimla (I am just having few names) and Manali.
These places are very popular. These places are prime
attraction of travellers from across the world.
There are so many places worth visiting. Like Delhi

Garden City for its lush landscape, lakes and temperate
climate, it aptly represents India's marriage of past and

INTRODUCTION
Tourism industry is playing a significant role in the social, economic, cultural and
environmental development of society. Tourism industry is one of the worlds fastest growing
economic sector and largest employer of manpower helps in earning multi-billion dollar
annually by attracting a billion of people from one destination to another. This is evident from
the fact that international tourist arrivals has doubled from the year 1995 (565.4 million) to
the year 2010(1006.4 million). It is expected to reach to 1.56 billion by 2020, with the largest
rate of increase in developing countries including India. It is expected to provide more than
251.6 million jobs by 2020. In India, tourism has made significant contribution to the Indian
economy by providing an increase in foreign exchange earnings, creating more employment
opportunities and infrastructure development. It is expected that tourism demand will grow at
an annual growth rate of 8.8% over the next ten years. Tourism protects and maintains the
natural and cultural resources of the country, helps in avoidance of migration of the local
population, and brings about improvement in the economic and socio cultural level of the
local community

DEFINITION OF TOURISM:Tourism is defined by UNWTO (United Nation World Tourism Organisation) as indicated
below:
In order to prevent the disaccords to define "Tourism", UNWTO defined it as indicated below;
"Tourism comprises the activities of persons traveling to and staying in places outside their
usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other
purposes."

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

To explore the role of tourism industry in social and economic development of country.
To know the contribution of Government, Ministry of Tourism and other tourism related
organization in infrastructure development.
To explain the effectiveness of different schemes and programs initiated by Government to
increase the tourist inflow and economic benefits of tourism industry.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is partly descriptive, partly exploratory and partly casual .For this
study data and information has been collected with the help of Books, Magazines, Newspapers,
UNWTO Report, Report of Ministry of Tourism, Report of World Travel and Tourism Council.

ROLE OF TOURISM IN SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA:

Tourism has proved vital for many countries-developing as well as developed countries .It has
been proved in the case of India. The growth in tourism sector is expected to rise further in the
coming decades as the sector is expanding fast. Several establishments are included in the
tourism industry whose products are mainly sold to visitors. Railways, Waterways, Roads and
other amenities like Electricity, supply of Water, Sewage, Drainage, and other facilities like
Accommodation, Aviation Sector Recreational facilities, Restaurants and Shopping facilities
etc. are one of them. As all these components creates the foundation of tourism industry the
Government of India and Ministry of Tourism with the help of state and U.T. Goverenments
are launching and developing various development schemes to improve the present situation of
infrastructure in India.
Development of Tourism Infrastructure
The Ministry of Tourism holds Prioritization Meetings with the States/UTs to identify the
tourism projects in their States/UTs for funding. While prioritizing the projects, adequate
emphasis is given to the projects involving the construction and upkeep of wayside amenities
along Highways/Roads leading to tourist destinations, cleanliness at the tourism sites, projects
in backward areas, etc.
Rural Tourism
The scheme of Rural Tourism was started by the Ministry of Tourism with the objective of
showcasing rural life, art, culture and heritage at rural locations and in villages. The villages
which had core competence in art & craft, handloom, and textiles as also an asset base in the
natural environment were selected. The scheme also aims to benefit the local community
economically and socially as well as enable interaction between tourists and local population
for a mutually enriching experience.
The promotion of village tourism is also aimed at generation of revenue for the rural
communities through tourists visitations. Under this scheme, funds up to Rs.50 lakh for
infrastructure (hardware, or HW) development and up to Rs.20 lakh for capacity building
(software, or SW) activities, are provided to State Government.
ROLE OF TOURISM INDUSTRY IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA

P a g e | 39

Travel and Tourism contributes to be one of the worlds largest industries. Despite political
upheaval, economic uncertainty and natural disasters, the industrys direct contribution to
world GDP grew by nearly 3% to US$ 2 trillion and directly generated 1.2 million new jobs.
This was supported by a 3% increase in visitor exports to US$ 1.2 trillion, with almost 3%
growth in capital investment, which rose to over US$0.7 trillion.

From the above graph we come to know that tourism not only increases the GDP of the county
but also generates employment in the country.
Tourism sector not only benefits the country socially but also economically as the GDP of the
country has increased due to more and more foreign as well as domestic tourists visiting
different places in India also both foreign and domestic investments have increased. Along
with the growth in GDP employment rates have also gone up tremendously.

resources as well as techno-managerial efficiencies, it is proposed to promote large revenue
generating projects for development of Tourism infrastructure.
Recently, two large revenue generating projects, one in Rajasthan and one in Tamil Nadu has
been sanctioned and an amount of Rs.750.000 lakhs and Rs.802.700 lakhs respectively has
been released for the same. In order to bring out the private, corporate and institutional support
for infrastructure development, one large revenue generating project In Delhi has been
sanctioned and for which an amount of Rs.1,237.000 lakhs has been sanctioned and released
by the government of India.
Scheme for the development of emerging tourism products
Now the main concern of Ministry of Tourism and Government of India is to develop
infrastructure for Rural Tourism, Golf Tourism, Cruise Tourism and Well-ness Tourismetc.
By developing rural tourism the Ministry of Tourism intends to help the local community
economically and socially. On 28 February 2014, 169 rural tourism sites in 28 states/ UT have
been sanctioned by the Ministry of Tourism. To promote Golf- Tourism in India the Ministry of
Tourism has organized a workshop Promotion of Golf-Tourism in New Delhi in January
2014. Cruise Tourism is emerging as one of the most dynamic segment of the tourism industry.
With an objective of making India attractive as cruise tourism destination, to develop
infrastructure facilities and to attract right segment of the foreign tourists to cruise shipping in
India a policy Cruise Shipping Policy of the Ministry Of Shipping was approved by the
Government of India. The Ministry of Tourism has included the promotion of wellness
Tourism as new initiatives. The Marketing Development Assistance Scheme (MDA)
administered by the Ministry of Tourism provides financial support to Wellness Tourism
Service Providers accredited by State Government.

CONCLUSION
Tourism in India has vast potential for increasing foreign investments,
foreign exchange earnings, for generating employment, besides contributing
towards the economic and social development of the society. Central and State
government with the help of private sector and voluntary organisations are
working towards improving the status of infrastructure. Though India shares only
1.24 % of international tourist receipts and 0.59% of international tourist traffic
but this contribution cannot be neglected. After analysing all the facts it can be
concluded that tourism industry is expanding day by day and contributing a lot
towards the economic development of society by providing employment
opportunities and huge increase in foreign exchange earnings. Though it has
some negative sides too but this problem can be eliminated by the joint efforts of
government, tourism organizations, media, and of course local communities.

Introduction
Global tourism industry The travel and tourism industry has emerged as
one of the largest and fastest growing economic sectors globally.
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO)
Tourism Highlights 2013, tourisms total contribution to worldwide GDP is
estimated at 9 per cent. Tourism exports in 2012 amounted to USD 1.3
trillion accounting for 6 per cent of the worlds exports. New tourist
destinations, especially those in the emerging markets have started
gaining prominence with traditional markets reaching maturity. Asia Pacific
recorded the highest growth in the number of international tourist arrivals
in 2012 at 7 per cent followed by Africa at 6 per cent.

P a g e | 43

International tourist arrivals are set to increase at a growth rate of 3.3

per cent per annum and amount to approximately 1.4 billion by 2020
and 1.8 billion by 2030 implying an increase of 43 million international
tourist arrivals each year. While international tourist arrivals in Europe
and America are expected to witness modest growth rates of 2.5 per
cent and 2.2 per cent respectively by 2030, Africa and Asia Pacific
regions are expected to witness higher growth rates at 5.7 per cent and
5.0 per cent per annum during the same period. The global travel and
tourism industry is expected to witness certain key trends:
Increased inter region travel and hence increased air travel
Arrivals for the purpose of visiting friends and relatives, health,
religion etc. are expected to witness faster growth than those for
business and professional purposes
Indian tourism industry the travel and tourism sector holds strategic
importance in the Indian economy providing several socio economic
benefits. Provision of employment, income and foreign exchange,
development or expansion of other industries such as agriculture,
construction, handicrafts etc. are some of the important economic
benefits provided by the tourism sector. In addition, investments in
infrastructural facilities such as transportation, accommodation and other
tourism related services lead to an overall development of infrastructure
in the economy. According to the World Economic Forums Travel and
Tourism Competitiveness Report 2013, India ranks 11th in the Asia pacific
region and 65th globally out of 140 economies ranked on travel and
tourism Competitiveness Index. India has been witnessing steady growth
in its travel and tourism sector over the past few years. Total tourist visits
have increased at a rate of 16.3 per cent per annum from 577 million
tourists in 2008 to 1057 million tourists in 2012

Growth in number of tourists

With the international tourist arrivals in India (pegged at 7.5 million in
2013) expected to witness an annual growth rate of 6.2 per cent over
the next decade, visitor exports (expenditure generated by foreign
tourists) are expected to amount to INR 2958 billion by 2023 growing
at 9.6 per cent per annum . This growth can mainly be attributed to the
rising income levels and changing lifestyles, diverse tourism offerings
and policy & infrastructural support by the government such as
simplification of visa procedures and tax holidays for hotels.

Impact of tourism sector on employment

The travel and tourism sector supported 25 million jobs in 2012
directly related to the tourism sector. Constituting 4.9 per cent of the
total employment in the country in 2012, this is expected to amount to
31 million jobs by 20237 . While these numbers indicate direct
employment supported by the tourism sector reflecting employment by
hotels, travel agents, passenger transportation services or other
restaurant and leisure employment, the total contribution including
indirect and induced effects is expected to cause a multiplier impact on
the economy resulting in greater employment generation. Applying this
multiplier impact, the travel and tourism sector supported a total
employment of 40 million jobs in 2012 constituting 7.7 % of the whole
economy employment
This implies that for every job directly
supported by the tourism sector, an additional 0.6 job is supported in
the economy when the indirect and induced effects of tourism is
considered.
Capital investment in tourism sector
Capital investments in the tourism sector include spending by all
sectors directly involved in the travel and tourism industry. Spending
by other industries on specific tourism assets such as new visitor
accommodation and passenger transport equipment, as well as
restaurants and leisure facilities for specific tourism use also form part
of capital investments. Such investments lead to social development of
an economy as infrastructure created for tourism purposes in areas of
transportation, accommodation etc. can also be utilised by the
community in general.
Capital investment in the travel and tourism sector in 2012 was
estimated at INR 1761.4 billion amounting to approximately 6.2 per
cent of total investment in the Indian economy. It is expected to
increase by 14.2 per cent in 2013, and witness further annual growth
rate of 10.5 per cent by 2023 amounting to INR 5459 billion

Case study on tourism in Goa Goa started gaining popularity as a tourism

destination in the late 1960s. Initially the government put in place
infrastructure to facilitate tourism in the state and the private sector was
cautious on account of low returns at that point of time. The Goa Tourism
Development Corporation Limited (GTDC) was set up in 1982 as a public
limited company, to look after the commercial activities of the
government and to set up and maintain tourism infrastructure in the
state. In the recent past, with significant private sector investment and
interest, the government has shifted focus to playing the role of a
facilitator. Recognising that tourism cannot sustainably grow without
private sector investment and that a passive approach to investors can be
detrimental to the states tourism prospects, the government has been
partnering with the private sector in several key initiatives. An early
initiative was the Goa International Tourism Mart 2010, which was jointly
promoted by the government and associations of private sector entities in
the tourism industry. The last couple of years have seen several key
initiatives taken in collaboration with the private sector. One of the
examples is the formation of a state-level marketing and promotion
committee with members from the government and private players in the
tourism industry. The terms of reference of the committee includes putting
in place procedures and standards for marketing and promotional
activities. The Committee has the power to sanction and authorise
marketing and promotional budgets allocated by the government for
promotion of Goa tourism. Some of the other initiatives with private sector
involvement include constitution of expert committees comprising of key
members of private players in the Goa tourism industry for drafting of

P a g e | 48

terms of reference and evaluation/selection of consultants. GTDC has

recently announced plans of forming joint ventures with the private sector
for renovation of their existing properties as well as development of new
properties. These initiatives indicate a growing collaboration between the
public and private sector and bode well for the long-term sustainability of
tourism in Goa.

TOURISM AN ATTRACTIVE AND BOOMING

SECTOR IN MAKING INDIA.
Sheetal D. Todkar

Abstract:
There are various definitions of tourism. Theobald (1994) suggested that
etymologically, the word "tour" is derived from the Latin 'tornare' and the
Greek 'tornos,' meaning 'a lathe or circle; the movement around a central point
or axis.' This meaning changed in modern English to represent 'one's turn.' The
suffix -ism is defined as 'an action or process; typical behavior or quality'
whereas the suffix -ist denotes one that performs a given action. When the word
tour and the suffixes -ism and -ist are combined, they suggest the action of
movement around a circle. One can argue that a circle represents a starting
point, which ultimately returns back to its beginning. Therefore, like a circle, a
tour represents a journey that is a round trip, i.e., the act of leaving and then
returning to the original starting point, and therefore, one who takes such a
journey can be called a tourist. This paper highlight the concept tourism & how
it has proved to be booming sector in India.

INTRODUCTION
The Macmillan Dictionary defines tourism as the business of providing services
for people who are travelling for their holiday. Wikipedia defines it as travel for
recreational, leisure or business purposes. The OECD glossary of statistical
terms defined tourism as the activities of persons travelling to and staying in
places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year
for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity
remunerated from within the place visited. Over the decades, tourism has
experienced continued growth and deepening ?diversification to become one of
the fastest growing economic sectors in the world. Tourism has become a
thriving global industry with the power to shape developing countries in both
positive and negative ways. No doubt it has become the fourth largest industry
in the global economy.
Similarly, in developing countries like India tourism has become one of the
major sectors of the economy, contributing to a large proportion of the National
Income and generating huge employment opportunities. It has become the
fastest growing service industry in the country with great potentials for its
further expansion and diversification. However, there are pros and cons
involved with the development of tourism industry in the country. Let us discuss
the development as well as the negative and positive impacts of tourism
industry in India.

DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM IN INDIA

Early Development
The first conscious and organized efforts to promote tourism in India were made in 1945
when a committee was set up by the Government under the Chairmanship of Sir John
Sargent, the then Educational Adviser to the Government of India (Krishna, A.G., 1993).
Thereafter, the development of tourism was taken up in a planned manner in 1956 coinciding
with the Second Five Year Plan. The approach has evolved from isolated planning of single
unit facilities in the Second and Third Five Year Plans. The Sixth Plan marked the beginning
of a new era when tourism began to be considered a major instrument for social integration
and economic development.
Present Situation and Features of Tourism in India
Today tourism is the largest service industry in India, with a contribution of 6.23% to the
national GDP and providing 8.78% of the total employment. India witnesses more than 5
million annual foreign tourist arrivals and 562 million domestic tourism visits. The tourism
industry in India generated about US$100 billion in 2008 and that is expected to increase to

P a g e | 51

US$275.5 billion by 2018 at a 9.4% annual growth rate. The Ministry of Tourism is the nodal
agency for the development and promotion of tourism in India and maintains the "Incredible
India" campaign.
Tourist Attractions in India:
India is a country known for its lavish treatment to all visitors, no matter where they come
from. Its visitor-friendly traditions, varied life styles and cultural heritage and colourful fairs
and festivals held abiding attractions for the tourists. The other attractions include beautiful
beaches, forests and wild life and landscapes for eco-tourism; snow, river and mountain peaks
for adventure tourism; technological parks and science museums for science tourism; centres
of pilgrimage for spiritual tourism; heritage, trains and hotels for heritage tourism. Yoga,
ayurveda and natural health resorts and hill stations also attract tourists.
The Indian handicrafts particularly, jewellery, carpets, leather goods, ivory and brass work are
the main shopping items of foreign tourists. It is estimated through survey that nearly forty
per cent of the tourist expenditure on shopping is spent on such items.
Despite the economic slowdown, medical tourism in India is the fastest growing segment of
tourism industry, according to the market research report Booming Medical Tourism in
India. The report adds that India offers a great potential in the medical tourism industry.
Factors such as low cost, scale and range of treatments provided in the country add to its
attractiveness as a medical tourism destination.
Initiatives to Boost Tourism:
Some of the recent initiatives taken by the Government to boost tourism include grant of
export house status to the tourism sector and incentives for promoting private investment in
the form of Income Tax exemptions, interest subsidy and reduced import duty. The hotel and
tourism-related industry has been declared a high priority industry for foreign investment
which entails automatic approval of direct investment up to 51 per cent of foreign equity and
allowing 100 per cent non-resident Indian investment and simplifying rules regarding the
grant of approval to travel agents, tour operators and tourist transport operators.
The first-ever Indian Tourism Day was celebrated on January 25, 1998. The Year 1999 was
celebrated as Explore India Millennium Year by presenting a spectacular tableau on the
cultural heritage of India at the Republic Day Parade and organising India Tourism Expo in
New Delhi and Khajuraho. Moreover, the campaign Visit India Year 2009 was launched at
the International Tourism Exchange in Berlin, aimed to project India as an attractive
destination for holidaymakers. The government joined hands with leading airlines, hoteliers,
holiday resorts and tour operators, and offered them a wide range of incentives and bonuses
during the period between April and December, 2009.
Future Prospects: According to the latest Tourism Satellite Accounting (TSA) research,
released by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and its strategic partner Oxford
Economics in March 2009:

The demand for travel and tourism in India is expected to grow by 8.2 per cent
between 2010 and 2019 and will place India at the third position in the world.

P a g e | 52

India's travel and tourism sector is expected to be the second largest employer in the
world, employing 40,037,000 by 2019.

Capital investment in India's travel and tourism sector is expected to grow at 8.8 per
cent between 2010 and 2019.

The report forecasts India to get capital investment worth US$ 94.5 billion in the
travel and tourism sector in 2019.

India is projected to become the fifth fastest growing business travel destination from
2010-2019 with an estimated real growth rate of 7.6 per cent.

Constraints: The major constraint in the development of tourism in India is the nonavailability of adequate infrastructure including adequate air seat capacity, accessibility to
tourist destinations, accommodation and trained manpower in sufficient number.
Poor visitor experience, particularly, due to inadequate infrastructural facilities, poor hygienic
conditions and incidents of touting and harassment of tourists in some places are factors that
contribute to poor visitor experience.
IMPACT OF TOURISM IN INDIA

Tourism industry in India has several positive and negative impacts on the economy and
society. These impacts are highlighted below.
1. Generating Income and Employment: Tourism in India has emerged as an instrument of
income and employment generation, poverty alleviation and sustainable human development.
It contributes 6.23% to the national GDP and 8.78% of the total employment in India. Almost
20 million people are now working in the Indias tourism industry.
3. Source of Foreign Exchange Earnings: Tourism is an important source of foreign exchange
earnings in India. This has favourable impact on the balance of payment of the country. The
tourism industry in India generated about US$100 billion in 2008 and that is expected to
increase to US$275.5 billion by 2018 at a 9.4% annual growth rate.
4. Preservation of National Heritage and Environment: Tourism helps preserve several places
which are of historical importance by declaring them as heritage sites. For instance, the Taj
Mahal, the Qutab Minar, Ajanta and Ellora temples, etc, would have been decayed and
destroyed had it not been for the efforts taken by Tourism Department to preserve them.
Likewise, tourism also helps in conserving the natural habitats of many endangered species.
5. Developing Infrastructure: Tourism tends to encourage the development of multiple-use
infrastructure that benefits the host community, including various means of transports, health
care facilities, and sports centers, in addition to the hotels and high-end restaurants that cater
to foreign visitors. The development of infrastructure has in turn induced the development of
other directly productive activities.

P a g e | 53

6. Promoting Peace and Stability: Honey and Gilpin (2009) suggests that the tourism industry
can also help promote peace and stability in developing country like India by providing jobs,
generating income, diversifying the economy, protecting the environment, and promoting
cross-cultural awareness. However, key challenges like adoption of regulatory frameworks,
mechanisms to reduce crime and corruption, etc, must be addressed if peace-enhancing
benefits from this industry are to be realized.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF TOURISM IN INDIA
The tourism industry in India can have several positive and negative impact on the
environment which are discuss below.
1.
Direct
Financial
Contributions
Tourism can contribute directly to the conservation of sensitive areas and habitat. Revenue
from park-entrance fees and similar sources can be allocated specifically to pay for the
protection and management of environmentally sensitive areas. Special fees for park
operations or conservation activities can be collected from tourists or tour operators.
2.Contributions
to
government
revenue
The Indian government through the tourism department also collect money in more farreaching and indirect ways that are not linked to specific parks or conservation areas. User
fees, income taxes, taxes on sales or rental of recreation equipment, and license fees for
activities such as rafting and fishing can provide governments with the funds needed to
manage natural resources. Such funds can be used for overall conservation programs and
activities, such as park ranger salaries and park maintenance.
3. Improved Environmental Management and Planning
Sound environmental management of tourism facilities and especially hotels can increase the
benefits to natural environment. By planning early for tourism development, damaging and
expensive mistakes can be prevented, avoiding the gradual deterioration of environmental
assets significant to tourism. The development of tourism has moved the Indian government
towards this direction leading to improved environmental management.
4. Raising Environmental Awareness
Tourism has the potential to increase public appreciation of the environment and to spread
awareness of environmental problems when it brings people into closer contact with nature
and the environment. This confrontation heightens awareness of the value of nature among
the community and lead to environmentally conscious behavior and activities to preserve the
environment.

6. Protection and Preservation of Environment

Tourism can significantly contribute to environmental protection, conservation and
restoration of biological diversity and sustainable use of natural resources. Because of their
attractiveness, pristine sites and natural areas are identified as valuable and the need to keep
the attraction alive can lead to creation of national parks and wildlife parks.

P a g e | 54

In India, new laws and regulations have been enacted to preserve the forest and to protect
native species. The coral reefs around the coastal areas and the marine life that depend on
them for survival are also protected

CONCLUSION
Tourism industry in India is growing and it has vast potential for generating employment and
earning large amount of foreign exchange besides giving a fillip to the countrys overall
economic and social development. But much more remains to be done. Eco-tourism needs to
be promoted so that tourism in India helps in preserving and sustaining the diversity of the
India's natural and cultural environments. Tourism in India should be developed in such a
way that it accommodates and entertains visitors in a way that is minimally intrusive or
destructive to the environment and sustains & supports the native cultures in the locations it
is operating in. Moreover, since tourism is a multi-dimensional activity, and basically a
service industry, it would be necessary that all wings of the Central and State governments,
private sector and voluntary organisations become active partners in the endeavour to attain
sustainable growth in tourism if India is to become a world player in the tourism industry.

SMART CITY

P a g e | 56

INTRODUCTION
A smart city is an urban development vision to integrate
multiple information and communication technology (ICT) and Internet of
Things (IoT) solutions in a secure fashion to manage a citys assets. The
citys assets include:-

Local departments.
Information systems.
Schools.
Libraries.
Transportation systems.
Hospitals.
Power plants.
Water supply networks.
Waste management.
Law enforcement and
Community services.

The goal of building a smart city is to improve quality of life by

using urban informatics and technology to improve the efficiency of
services and meet residents needs.
ICT allows city officials to interact directly with the community and the
city infrastructure and to monitor what is happening in the city, how the
city is evolving, and how to enable a better quality of life.
ICT is used to enhance quality, performance and interactivity of urban
services, to reduce costs and resource consumption and to improve
contact between citizens and government.

P a g e | 57

Smart city applications are developed with the goal of improving the
management of urban flows and allowing for real time responses to
challenges.
A smart city may therefore be more prepared to respond to challenges
than one with a simple 'transactional' relationship with its citizens.
Yet, the term itself remains unclear to its specifics and therefore, open to
many interpretations and subject.

OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
Smart Cities Mission is an urban renewal and retrofitting program
by the Government of India with a mission to develop 100 cities all over
the country making them citizen friendly and sustainable.
The Union Ministry of Urban Development is responsible for
implementing the mission in collaboration with the state governments of
the respective cities.
The government of India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a
vision of developing 100 smart cities as satellite towns of larger cities
and by modernizing the existing mid-sized cities.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion it can be said that as India is a developing nation and

INTRODUCTION
An eminent is a person who is well-known and respected, especially for achievement
in a particular field. Anyone highly regarded or prominent is eminent.

Eminent people are very successful at their jobs. Such people are known as Eminent
Scholars.
If youve heard of Neil deGrasse Tyson, its probably because hes an eminent
astrophysicist. Every field has eminent impressive, famous, or accomplished
people. Below we have a brief introduction about some of the Eminent Scholars who
contributed in Making INDIA. We have described some of them in our following case
study.

OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
The objectives of this topic are as follows:

To make the society know about the qualities of our leaders, their
contribution to the society.
To help people to understand and inherit some of these qualities in them and
understand their duties towards the society in this world.
This shows the knowledge, hard work, enthusiasm, idea which were done by
the leaders to bring a positive change in the society.
To encourage the people to do such contribution for the development of the
people and its country.

Aryabhata
Aryabhata was an acclaimed mathematician-astronomer. His contribution to
mathematics, science and astronomy is immense, and yet he has not been accorded

P a g e | 82

the recognition in the world history of science. Aryabhata is widely recognized for
contributing the concept of zero to the world. As we know zero has formed the basis
for the evolution of modern mathematics.
A lesser known fact perhaps is his work on the discovery of the important
mathematical constant pi (). Pi has applications in mathematical calculations and
various aspects of science and engineering.
Born circa 476AD, Aryabhata was present during the Vedic period of Indias
history. A highly intelligent individual, he was a Sanskrit scholar with deep interest
in astronomy and mathematics. His seminal work Aryabhatiya is a compendium of
mathematics and astronomy, which has survived till modern times. Studying the
Aryabhatiya shows beyond doubt that Aryabhata had indeed discovered and worked
on concept of pi long before the Western world was even aware of its existence.
Aryabhata knew that he was talking about a mathematical constant, because
he uses the term rule, indicating the value remains the same, even when the numbers
change. And we know the ratio of the circumference of any circle (whatever its size)
to its diameter is always the same pi. Thus, there is a saying by an eminent
mathematician gave this world zero and the value of pi.

Mahatma Gandhi
Indian nationalist leader Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, more commonly
known as Mahatma Gandhi or the Father of Nation, was born on October 2, 1869, in
Porbandar, Kathiawar, India, which was then part of the British Empire. His father,
Karamchand Gandhi, served as a chief minister in Porbandar and other states in
western India.
Mahatma Gandhi spent 21 years in South Africa fighting for the rights of the
South African Indians. He was in South Africa from 1893 until 1914. Gandhi became
involved with the South Africans completely unintentionally. He was traveling by
train to Pretoria when he was thrown out of the train by a white man. He decided
then that something had to be done, so he took it upon himself to organize the Natal
Indian Congress in 1894.
Salt March, also called Dandi March or Salt Satyagraha, Naidu, Sarojini:
Gandhi and NaiduBettmann/Corbismajor nonviolent protest action in India led by
Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi in MarchApril 1930. The march was the first act in
an even-larger campaign of civil disobedience (satyagraha) Gandhi waged against
British rule in India that extended into early 1931 and garnered Gandhi widespread
support among the Indian populace and considerable worldwide attention.
The Quit India Movement (Hindi: Bhrat Chhodho
ndolan), or the India August Movement (August Kranti), was a civil disobedience
movement launched at the Bombay session of the All-India Congress Committee or

P a g e | 83

more simply by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi) on 8 August

1942, during World War.

Savitribai Phule
Savitribai Phule was a woman educationist and a social reformer, Savitribai
Phule alongside her husband contributed significantly during the British rule for of
womens rights in country.
Savitribai worked as both an educational reformer and social reformer, especially for
women. During the 19th century, arranged marriages before the age of maturity was
the norm in the Hindu society of Maharashtra. Since mortality rates were high, many
young girls often became widows even before attaining maturity. Due to social and
cultural practices of the times, widow remarriage was out of question in many castes
and therefore prospects for the young widows were poor. The 1881 Kolhapur
gazetteer records that widows at that time used to shave their heads, and wear simple
red saris and had to lead a very austere life with little joy.
Tiffany Wayne has described Phule as "one of the first-generation modern Indian
feminists, and an important contributor to world feminism in general, as she was
both addressing and challenging not simply the question of gender in isolation but
also issues related to caste and casteist patriarchy.

Kapil Dev
Kapil Dev, in full Kapil Dev Ramlal Nikhanj (born January 6,
1959,Chandigarh, India) Indian cricketer and the greatest pace bowler in his
countrys history. He is the only cricketer to have scored over 5,000 runs and taken
more than 400 wickets in Test (international match)cricket.
In short, Kapil Dev was India's best fast bowler, best all-rounder and one of
India's best captains who will always be remembered for leading the country to the
biggest thing to happen to Indian cricket: the 1983 World Cup triumph. With the
ball, he was known for his energetic action and lethal outswingers which took the ball
away from the right handers. With the bat, he was an aggressive lower-middle order
batsman who could shift the momentum of a game in minutes.

P a g e | 84

After retirement from cricket in 1994, Kapil Dev took up golf.[60] Kapil was the
only Asian founding member of Laureus Foundation in 2000. Ian Botham and Viv
Richards were the other two cricketers on the founding member council of 40. Steve
Waugh was added to the Academy members in 2006 when it was expanded from 40
to 42. He has written three autobiographical works. By God's Decree came out in
1985 and Cricket my style in 1987. He released his most recent autobiography,
titled Straight from the Heart in 2004 (ISBN 1-4039-2227-6). He pledged his organs
during an event organized by Delhi Urological Society on January 31, 2014 at the
Airport Authority of India, Officers Club, New Delhi.

Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje*, Macedonia, on
August 26**, 1910. Her family was of Albanian descent. At the age of twelve, she felt
strongly the call of God. She knew she had to be a missionary to spread the love of
Christ.
Mother Teresa (1910-1997) was a Roman Catholic nun, who devoted her life to
serving the poor and destitute around the world. She spent many years in Calcutta,
India where she founded the Missionaries of Charity, a religious congregation
devoted to helping those in great need. In 1979, Mother Teresa was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize and has become a symbol of charitable selfless work.
A controversial figure both during her life and after her death, Teresa was
widely admired by many for her charitable works. She was both praised and
criticised for her anti-abortion views. She was criticised for the poor conditions in the
houses for the dying she ran. Her authorised biography was written by Indian civil
servant Navin Chawla and published in 1992, and there are other books and films
about her.

INTRODUCTION
A smart city is an urban development vision to integrate
multiple information and communication technology (ICT) and
Internet of Things (IoT) solutions in a secure fashion to manage
a citys assets the citys assets include, but are not limited to,
local departments' information systems, schools, libraries,
transportation systems, hospitals, power plants, water supply
networks, waste management, law enforcement, and other
community services. The goal of building a smart city is to
improve quality of life by using urban informatics and
technology to improve the efficiency of services and meet
residents needs. ICT allows city officials to interact directly with
the community and the city infrastructure and to monitor what
is happening in the city, how the city is evolving, and how to
enable a better quality of life. Through the use of sensors
integrated with real-time monitoring systems, data are
collected from citizens and devices - then processed and
analyzed. The information and knowledge gathered are keys to
tackling inefficiency.
