Chandigarh, 14 October 2025
Haryana Co-operation, Heritage, and Tourism Minister, Dr. Arvind Sharma, has proposed the inclusion of Dhosi Hill and Narnaul in district Mahendragarh on the global tourism map under Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi’s vision of “One State–One Global Destination.” He said that if the Ministry of Tourism develops the historic and culturally rich Mahendragarh–Narnaul region, it would offer both domestic and international tourists an exceptional travel experience.
Dr. Sharma said that developing this picturesque location in the Aravalli mountain range would turn South Haryana into a hub for adventure, heritage, naturopathy, and sports-based activities, generating far-reaching social, economic, trade, and tourism benefits.
On Tuesday, Dr. Arvind Sharma represented Haryana at the two-day meeting of State Tourism Ministers organized by the Ministry of Tourism in Udaipur, Rajasthan. The meeting, chaired by Union Tourism Minister, Sh. Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, focused on developing 50 top tourist destinations across India in line with the Union Budget’s vision.
Representing Haryana, Dr. Sharma emphasized that under the “One State–One Global Destination” initiative, Dhosi Hill and the heritage city of Narnaul should be developed as global tourist destinations. He said that showcasing Dhosi Hill and Narnaul’s architectural treasures—stepwells, tombs, and palaces—on the world tourism map is the need of the hour.
He added that this region, located in the Aravalli range and within the National Capital Region (NCR), has immense potential to become a global tourism corridor while also fostering growth for micro and small industries, local business units, and entrepreneurs. The Haryana Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, is fully prepared to move forward with this vision.
Dr. Sharma also proposed developing Faridabad as a business tourism hub.There is a need to expand opportunities for meetings, conferences, and exhibitions amidst the beauty and natural landscape of the Aravalli Mountains in areas like Gurugram, Faridabad, Delhi, Noida, and Ghaziabad, he added.
During the national meeting, Dr. Arvind Sharma invited the tourism ministers of all participating states to attend the International Gita Mahotsav in Kurukshetra from November 15 and the 39th International Crafts Mela in Faridabad in February. He also presented a souvenir based on Haryana’s historical heritage, published by the Department of Archaeology, to Union Tourism Minister, Sh. Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and other tourism ministers from various states and Union Territories.
Director, Tourism department, Dr. Shaleen, and Director, Archaeology and Museums Department, Sh. Amit Khatri were also present.
