Gujarat: Home stay for tourists planned in villages around Statue of Unity

The home stay project intends to empower and help the rural tribal woman to earn a living. The women from the shortlisted houses will undergo training in soft speaking skills and maintaining cleanliness. 'The revenue earned will be divided among the local contractors who will supervise at the local level and the women who will host the tourists in the house. We have approached various organisations for CSR funds to cover the cost of the project,' Williams added. Facilities, including renovation or construction of rooms and washrooms at each house is estimated to cost between Rs 2 to Rs 2.5 lakh each. As soon as the home stay accommodation is operational, the details will be made available on the website. Apart from these home stays, the statue complex that was inaugurated in October 2018, already has two tent cities, a Shreshtha Bharat Bhavan and Kevadia Circuit House, to house tourists.
