Uttarakhand homestay scheme: Who can get up to Rs 15 lakh subsidy and how to apply
The Uttarakhand government has launched a subsidy scheme to encourage residents to convert their homes into homestays to boost rural tourism. Eligible applicants can receive significant financial assistance for construction or renovation costs.
Why it matters
The scheme aims to provide economic development and income opportunities for residents in rural and hilly regions of India.
For many people living in Uttarakhand’s rural and hilly areas, turning an existing house or building into a homestay can provide an additional source of income while also supporting tourism in the state. However, the cost of constructing or upgrading a property can be a challenge for local residents. To support such projects and promote rural and eco-tourism, the Uttarakhand government launched the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Grah Aawas (Home-Stay) Vikas Yojana.BenefitsThe scheme provides financial assistance to permanent residents or natives of Uttarakhand who take a loan for constructing a homestay.
