Uttar Pradesh has a special importance from the point of view of pilgrimage. Many places here have been internationally famous. But the expected attention was not paid towards world class tourism facilities. Yogi Adityanath is removing this shortcoming. He said that earlier governments avoided taking the name of Ayodhya. Because of this not enough development has been done here. Similarly, Mathura Vrindavan, the birth place of Shri Krishna and Kashi, the city of Bholenath, also has a reputation. Kashi is the oldest city in the world. Yogi government is developing all these places with dignity. The Chief Minister has visited Ayodhya about two dozen times. Every time he has been bringing some or the other plan of development for here. Apart from this, they also review the ongoing schemes. All-round development of such sites is being done. Due to which the tourists coming from abroad also get a positive message. The overall development also includes the construction of Dashrath Medical College. People are also being treated here. The education of medical students has also started. Chief Minister Yogi, many construction works are going on to make this medical college more convenient. Many construction works are nearing completion. While some important construction work is going on. Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reviewed the project of twenty thousand crore rupees included in the master plan on behalf of the Ayodhya Development Authority. Yogi Adityanath and concerned officials were involved in that virtual review. All development projects have been included in the master plan. This includes restoration and beautification of temples and complexes of archaeological importance. These projects worth twenty thousand crore rupees include Cruise Tourism Project, Ramki Paidi Regeneration Project, Ramayana Spiritual Forest, Sarayu River Iconic Bridge, Development of Iconic Structure, Development of Tourist Circuit, Branding Ayodhya, Renovation of Two Hundred and Eight Heritage Complexes within Chaurasi Kosi Parikrama , development of Saryu north bank etc. Along with this, Ayodhya is being developed as a modern smart city. The government has also prepared a vision document after suggestions from hundreds of tourists.
The development of Ayodhya is being envisaged as a spiritual hub, global tourism hub and a sustainable smart city. Efforts are on to improve connectivity. These include construction of airports, railway station expansions, bus stations, roads and highways and infrastructure projects. Greenfield township is also proposed. This includes accommodation facilities for pilgrims, places for ashrams, monasteries, hotels, buildings of different states, etc. A tourist facilitation center and a world-class museum will also be built in Ayodhya. Infrastructure facilities will be developed around the ghats of Saryu. Cruise operations will also start on the Saryu river. The picture of Ayodhya will be changed with greenfield city plan, Maryada Purushottam Bhagwan Ram International Airport, Saryu Coast Board development, sixty five km long ring road, tourism center, Panchkosi Parikrama Marg development etc. There is no doubt that until a few years ago Ayodhya was neglected. It has been a world class tourism and pilgrimage center. But there was no local level facilities here. Yet, because of faith, crores of people used to come here even after taking trouble. Yogi Adityanath focused on the development of Ayodhya. Work is in progress to make it a smart and world class city. Yogi Adityanath said that Ayodhya is going to make a new place in the global map in the coming times. Ayodhya will be made a major center of education and health facilities along with world class tourism center. For the development of these facilities in Ayodhya, along with the public representatives, the Central and State Governments are committed to take forward the programs expeditiously.
