telangana tourism minister 2022

Central agencies doing their job, says Union Tourism Minister Kishan Reddy

HYDERABAD: Union Minister for Tourism and Culture G Kishan Reddy has made it clear that the Central investigative agencies like the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Income Tax Department (I-T Dept) were not taking any directions from the Prime Minister’s Office, and they were, in fact, only doing their job and following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s message to show zero tolerance towards the corrupt.

Addressing the party leaders on the inaugural day of BJP’s three-day ‘State Level Training Camp’ being held at Leonia Resorts in Shamirpet on Sunday, he said that “though the State government has issued an order to prevent the CBI from conducting investigations in the State, other agencies like the ED and I-T department will continue to do what they do the best”.

Some people are complaining that the Centre has been using investigative agencies like CBI, ED and I-T to conduct raids on them. I want to ask them if they are trying to say that those agencies were not doing their job before,” he added.

He said that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has been criticising the prime minister repeatedly, assuming that his image will grow by doing so, but the people of the country were laughing at his acts. “Even the grassroots workers of TRS tell us that they want to see BJP come to power. Even IAS and IPS officers, and higher officials in the State government, when they speak at a personal level, say that they want to see BJP come to power in Telangana,” he said.

‘Change is inevitable’

Explaining how the prime minister has curtailed terrorist activities in the country with an iron fist, how he became the most respected statesman on the global stage, and how he literally paused the war in Ukraine by negotiating with Russia and Ukraine to safely bring home the Indian medical students stranded there, he said that it showed a leader’s quality which the chief minister lacked.

“Only by criticising and maligning BJP they want to retain power. Who are they trying to threaten with the farmhouse video files? Change is inevitable in 2023 and BJP will come to power in Telangana, come what may,” he declared.

He also made an appeal to the party leaders and workers to not fear being jailed by the oppressive tactics of the State government, assuring that the people of Telangana will continue the movement against the TRS till it reaches its logical conclusion.

BJP State president Bandi Sanjay Kumar reminded the party leaders that BJP’s strength lies in its commitment towards its ideology, and only because of that the party has been able to come to power under the leadership of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. BJP state in-charges Tarun Chugh and Sunil Bansal as well as the entire State leadership attended the training sessions.

All sectors across the globe are talking about ‘revival’, travel and tourism industry is talking about ‘survival’: nagesh pampati, chairman, taai—ts & ap, suggests to promote neighbourhood tourism, rural tourism if pandemic doesn’t allow long distance travel., minister v. srinivas goud assured government support in reviving the tourism and travel industry.  he assured them that he would facilitate a meeting very soon with officials to explore ways and means to help them to bounce back.   , roti, kapda, makan and bandwidth are essential things for our living. now in this light of pandemic we need pleasure, recreation too. travel and tourism offers this.  as the pandemic doesn’t allow long distance travel, we can at least promote ‘neighbourhood tourism” i.e tourism near your place of living: nagesh pampati.

Hyderabad, Telangana, June 3, 2021 : TAAI Travel Agents Association of India delegation today met  V. Srinivas Goud, Minister of Tourism, Culture, Prohibition & Excise, Sports & Youth services and Archaeology, Government of Telangana at his official residence in Banajara Hills, Hyderabad and submitted a representation.

The team lead by Mr Nagesh Pampati, Chairman – Telangana and AP states of TAAI; and accompanied by Mr Ranga Reddy, Chairman of IATO(Indian Association of Tour Operators) Telangana and AP Chapter; Mr Siraj Ansari, President of TOAT(Tour Operators Association of Telangana.

TAAI is India’s largest and oldest Travel & Tourism Association and have been actively leading Travel & Tourism Industry since the last 70 years.

While all sector across the world are talking about ‘revival’, travel and tourism industry is worrying about ‘survival’. That is why we have come to present representation to the Ministry to bail us out from this crisis.

We need Roti. Kapda, Makan, three things essential for living. But, now we also need bandwidth and pleasure and recreation in present circumstances. And Neighbourhood Tourism and Trave can offer this, Nagesh Pampati added.

We are glad that Telangana Chief Minister Mr. K. Chandrashekhar Rao chose the historical monument Golconda Fort over Parade Ground for Independence Day Celebrations soon after coming into power.  This has sent a strong message that he was committed for the development of Tourism in the state.  It has also boosted the Tourism Industry.  Telangana has more tourism attractions such as Laknavaram, many waterfalls like Bogatha, pilgrimages etc.  We must encourage “Neighbour Tourism”, if long distance tourism is not possible.  Also we want Rural and Village tourism too to be promoted said Nagesh Pampati.

The delegation urged the Minister and sought his support to advise the Banks to offer Tours and Travel Industry an interest free loans upto Rs 25 Lakhs to be repaid back in the next 3 financial years. If an amount of above Rs 25 Lakhs is sought, Banks can charge a nominal interest rate they said.

They also requested the Minister to consider Waiver of Property Taxes for 2021-2022 for the offices they currently occupy. We have paid taxes for 2020-2021 and the current taxes is a huge burden on us, the delegation told the Minister.

The delegation also sought the Minister’s intervention in vaccinating the entire Tourism and Travel industry on priority basis and allotted us a few Urban Primary Health Centers with slots dedicated for them.

The industry wants support for their employees by paying Rs 5000/- a month till March 2022. Though the industry witnessed huge losses, it has not retrenched staff because of the appeal made by the Hon’ble Chief Minister Mr. Chandra Shekhar Rao last year not to sack or remove employees. Further they want Aarogya Shree to be extended to Tourism employees as they are true ambassadors, promote tourism and earn revenue for the state.

Further they appealed to the government to facilitate a soft loan to the staff to the extent of Rs two lakhs from the banks per person, in order to fulfill their urgent needs. They have also sought fee waivers in schools and colleges for the staff working in the Tours and Travel Industry as they are unable to pay fees for their children.

Mr. Srinivas Goud, Minister paid a patient listening to their appeals.  And he assured them that their representation shall be looked into. He also told the delegation that he would convene a meeting this week with them and officials to familiarize them with their problem and explore various options possible to help industry bounce back.

Telangana boasts of well over 10,000 Travel Agents and Tour Operators.  Nearly 10 lakh depend on this industry for their livelihood directly and another 50 lakh indirectly .  Tourism Industry in the state contributes 10% to the State’s GDP.  Unil 2014, just 75,000 foreign tourists used to visit the then combined state.  After the formation of Telangana, the number steadily rose to 3.5 crore. They used to bring a lot of economic value and much needed foreign exchange to our country and the state.  Nearly 10 crore footfalls of domestic travelers used to take place. Now that all vanished due to the pandemic. We need government’s support first to make the industry survive and then revive, said Nagesh Pampati, Chairman of TAAI, Telangana and AP Chapter.

We want the Telangana Government to promote tourism on the line of Kerala, Guajarath, Manipur.   immediately after the pandemic ends.  Many Government’s like Manipur, AP have announced revival packages informed Mr Ranga Reddy, Chairman of IATO(Indian Association of Tour Operators) Telangana and AP Chapter.

Many places in the world and in India too rely heavily on tourism as a key source of income and employment. The Tourism industry helps to create more jobs and supports many allied industries, they said.
