The city of Ranchi is on the verge of receiving a major boost in the context of tourism, with the district administration planning to unveil a comprehensive blueprint to establish the city of Ranchi as the official “City of Waterfalls.”
This plan has emerged as a major move in the context of the efforts made by the government of Jharkhand to promote eco-tourism in this region, which will further boost the economic potential of this region.
The city of Ranchi is known for its picturesque beauty, in addition to its close proximity to a number of waterfalls in the region, with Hundru Falls, Dassam Falls, and Jonha Falls being a few of the most important waterfalls in the region.
Despite the close proximity of the city of Ranchi to a number of waterfalls, the city of Ranchi has not been able to capitalize on the potential in this context, owing to a number of shortcomings.
The newly proposed plan will look to overcome this challenge with a number of steps taken in this regard, with a focus on infrastructure development and facilities in this region.
Along with this, there have been suggestions for new infrastructure that can attract domestic and international tourists. Some of these include the construction of glass bridges, ropeways, skywalks, and viewing points near waterfalls. Adventure tourism has also been considered to make Ranchi an even more popular destination.
The government plans to make Ranchi the “City of Waterfalls,” which will help in creating a niche for the city in eastern India. The plan also includes eco-friendly tourism to ensure that the natural surroundings of the area are not affected because of the increasing number of tourists.
The project will not only provide a boost to the tourism industry in the area, but it will also provide employment opportunities to the locals. This will not only help in creating more avenues for employment but will also boost the economy.
The project is in line with the government’s plan to move away from conventional industries and explore new avenues like tourism. If the project is successful, then Ranchi can become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country, while the natural surroundings will remain untouched.
