Maharashtra's Namo Tourism Centres: A New Era in Heritage Tours

The Maharashtra government has green-lit a pioneering initiative to establish four 'Namo Tourism Information and Facility Centres' at prime heritage forts in the state to revamp tourism infrastructure and provide up-to-date amenities for visitors.

Unveiled under the Regional Tourism Development Scheme for 2025-26, these centres will be set up at Raigad, Pratapgad, Shivneri, and Salher forts. The scheme, backed by Rs 20 crore, initially releases Rs 5 crore for implementation by the Directorate of Tourism.

Each Namo centre will serve as a comprehensive information and service hub highlighting the historical significance of each site, integrating sustainable design elements, and promoting local art and culture.
