The Finance Minister of India, Nirmala Sitharaman, announced that the government is promoting 50 tourist destinations across the country. Odisha, a state in eastern India, is one of these destinations. The state is hoping to reap rewards from this promotion. One of the benefits of this promotion is that the state will be able to develop more airports. Odisha currently has five airports. The state is requesting that one of these airports be developed as a major international airport. Another benefit of this promotion is that the state will be able to promote its rich heritage culture and diversity. There are many tourist destinations in Odisha that offer a variety of cultural experiences. Finally, the finance minister announced that the government is planning to set up an agriculture accelerator fund. This fund will provide a major boost to the rural economy by encouraging startups. This will help to bring millet products from farm to plate.
