They will also be taken on a familiarization tour of key tourist attractions in the Hadoti division, including Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve, Chambal Safari, Gardia Mahadev, Garh Ganesh, Chambal Garden, Seven Wonders, and several other heritage and natural sites. This initiative aims to enhance promotion and inspire increased tourist footfall in the region.
