She said that she strove hard in the Tourism Department for the last four months in bringing accountability. 'Karmanye vadhikaraste, ma phaleshu kadachana" #IAS. Spent 4 months in Tourism. Did my best! Brought in the long pending Tourism Policy 25-30, a first for the State. Will create a solid frame for direction and investment in neglected tourist circuits. Revamped the working style of the dept and tried to infuse accountability. Laid the foundation for the logistics and planning- for a global event which I am sure will open doors to many more! Pleasure and honor,' said Smita on her transfer.
