The two-day Regional Tourism Conclave held at Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Agriculture University in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior district concluded on Saturday and MoUs worth Rs 3500 crores were signed.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav highliged that the Gwalior Tourism Conclave was among the best Tourism Conclave held in the state so far.

"I am satisfied that the Regional Tourism Conclave held in Gwalior district is the best tourism conclave held in the state so far. Here, MoUs worth more than Rs 3500 were signed. The two day tourism conclave held here for the first time after Independence was very good and along with this proposal for the renovation of music university and Jiwaji University were also received," CM Yadav said.

He further said that the Indigo Company would carry out development works worth 100 crore rupees for Gwalior Fort from its CSR fund.

"This conference has given a positive message for the development of heritage, forest, and religious tourism sectors, whose objective is to provide employment to local youth and promote the region's rich history on a global level," the CM added.

Additionally, Madhya Pradesh assembly speaker Narendra Singh Tomar said that the Madhya Pradesh government was making numerous efforts for the all-round development of the state and job creation, which includes organising industry conclaves at various places in the district.

"The state government is also making large-scale efforts to promote tourism, and in this regard, an Investor Summit was also organised in Bhopal in which the investment opportunities portfolio of the state was showcased. The state government is trying to reach the grassroot level as a result of which regional conferences are being held to showcase the ground picture so that more investors come to invest in Madhya Pradesh, which will increase employment opportunities and provide strength to the state economy. The conclave organised in the Gwalior Chambal region is quite fruitful and a huge number of investors participated in the event here," Tomar said.

Finally some focus on regional tourism! Gwalior-Chambal region has been neglected for too long. The musical heritage alone deserves international recognition. Hope they preserve the authenticity while developing infrastructure 🎵

Rs 3500 crores is a massive investment! But I hope the government ensures transparency in how these funds are utilized. We've seen many MoUs signed that never materialize into actual projects. Accountability is key 🔑

As someone who visited Gwalior last year, the fort is absolutely stunning but needs better facilities. Glad to see Indigo stepping up with CSR funds. More corporates should invest in heritage conservation!

Employment for local youth is the most important aspect. Hope they train and hire from the region itself rather than bringing outside workforce. Tourism can transform local economies if done right 💼

The renovation of music university is much needed! Gwalior is the birthplace of Indian classical music - it deserves world-class institutions. Hope they maintain the cultural essence while modernizing facilities 🎶

Impressive numbers! But I hope the development is sustainable and doesn't harm the ecological balance. Forest tourism mentioned is great, but must be responsible tourism that protects nature 🌿
