Addressing a gathering during the event, he highlighted the government's focus on promoting spiritual tourism, eco-tourism, and health tourism to elevate the Union Territory's growth trajectory.

Reaffirming the government's commitment to healthcare, the Prime Minister stressed that medical services must be accessible, available, and affordable for all citizens.

Referring to the presence of nine medical colleges and the modernisation of the Regional Cancer Centre at Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, along with new critical care blocks planned in Puducherry and Karaikal, he expressed confidence that the region could emerge as a major hub for medical tourism.

It's good to see development projects being highlighted. However, I wish there was more dialogue on local issues like waste management and preserving the French quarter's heritage alongside this push for tourism. Development should be holistic.

The 'double-engine' concept makes sense for UTs. When the state and central governments work in sync, things get done faster. Puducherry's improved social index score is proof. Looking forward to the Samvaad.

As someone who visits Puducherry often, the infrastructure upgrades are very noticeable. The roads and water supply are better. Hope the focus on affordable healthcare is real and reaches everyone, not just tourists.

Elections are around the corner, so naturally, there is a flurry of announcements and visits. The real test is whether these projects are completed on time and maintained properly after the votes are counted. Let's see.

Spiritual and eco-tourism is a brilliant idea for Puducherry! It has such a unique culture and coastline. Developing it responsibly can create so many jobs for local youth. Fingers crossed for the 30th event! 🙏
