Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das today said development of tourism sector was the priority of his government as it would lead to economic development of the state, besides generating employment opportunities.
Tourism will attract visitors from all over the world and bring foreign currency to our country, Das said.
The state government, he said, remains committed to develop tourist spots such as Rajrappa, Itkhori, Parasnath, Anjanidham, Deoghar, Bashukinath and Maluti.
The chief minister was addressing a gathering after performing 'Jalabhisekh' (offering holy water) to Lord Shiva at Surya Mandir at Sidgora on the third Monday of the auspicious month of 'Shravan', an official release said here.
Hailing the media for giving exposure to 'Shravani Mela', he said it has become an international event and will help boost the tourism potential of the state.
Speaking on the occasion, the chief minister also said, "Our aim is to make Jharkhand a prosperous state by 2022."
