Study to help in assessing the sector-wise requirements for further betterment
A qualitative and scientific study into the impact of the revamped Kashi Vishwanath Dham in different sectors will be undertaken by the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi. The study will also help in assessing the sector-wise requirement for further betterment.
The economics and social science departments of the BHU have been asked by the district administration to jointly conduct a qualitative scientific study to get substantial sector-wise growth.
In a short span of 11 months, the renovated Kashi Vishwanath Dham has turned out to be a money-spinner. It has not only seen a rise in footfall and donations but has also benefited every sector including trade, tourism, and hospitality in terms of the economy of Varanasi. However, there is no actual and qualitative assessment data of any sector in this regard.
Divisional commissioner Kaushal Raj Sharma said, “We realized that there was no mechanism for actual and qualitative assessment of improvement in the economy of any sector. The entire hospitality sector, including hotels, guest houses, food outlets, travel, auto, e-rickshaw, weaving and handicraft industry, and all other trades are noticing growth due to being interconnected directly or indirectly.”
Sharma said, “BHU’s help was sought. Following discussions with experts, it was decided that the economics and social science departments would jointly conduct a qualitative scientific study by collecting facts and data. Basic exercises for this study have been done by the BHU’s departments concerned and data collection will be started soon.”
Once the study is completed, he said that concrete figures to know the sector-wise actual growth would become available once the study is completed. This study will also help in assessing sector-wise requirements for further betterment, he added.
