Revamping Harisankar Tourism
Problem
- Due to its natural beauty and the waterfall, the footfall to Harisankar is high even on regular days, but there was a lack of facilities affecting its tourism.
- Facilities like accommodation and good food for tourists were unavailable near this temple area.
- The women of nearby villages were not involved in income-generating activities and 1 or 2 families controlled tourism.
- The underused panchayat samiti guest house near Harisankar had no proper facilities and was hardly making any revenue.
Solutions
- Arranged renovation and activities like collection of Parking fees and Entry fees, Arnna Prasad counter, Dry Prasad sales counter, etc., by Mission Shakti SHGs.
- Training imparted to the SHGs members on management of Panthaniwas and Café and basic etiquettes, basic Hindi and English speaking.
- BLF members also engaged local youths from nearby villages of Harisankar in different activities like cooking, serving food, housekeeping
- Started a local Tourist bus named Harisanakar Darsan run from Balangir to Harisankar which is also managed by Mission Shakti SHGs
