Shillong, Nov. 2 -- The Centre and the Meghalaya government on Saturday kicked off a Rs.233-crore tourism push for Sohra (Cherrapunjee), aiming to balance development with ecology through India's first community-led, climate-resilient tourism model.
Union minister for development of north eastern region Jyotiraditya Scindia and chief minister Conrad K Sangma laid the foundation for the Integrated Development of the Sohra Tourism Circuit under the PM-DevINE scheme, which seeks to build sustainable infrastructure across key natural attractions.
"This is not about building infrastructure alone - it's about building futures," Scindia said, adding that growth must go hand in hand with preservation.
