The ancient holy city will be developed as a ‘’major pilgrimage centre’’ under the Smart City Project.
An Ayodhya Pilgrimage Development Council will be set up which will be entrusted with the task of developing the city with the state-of-the-art modern infrastructure to promote tourism and connectivity. As per the directions of the top district and Uttar Pradesh government officials, in coordination with the Central government, had met and prepared a detailed roadmap for transformation of Ayodhya into a smart city. The state government aims to build Ayodhya as the biggest religious destination in North India with plans to constitute an ‘Ayodhya Tirtha Development Board’ to take this task further. For the transformation of Ayodhya, the government will soon make air connectivity better in Ayodhya with an international airport with all modern state-of-art facilities. The Narendra Modi government at the Centre has already sanctioned 100 crore rupees for revamping the Ayodhya railway station. Moreover, a bus terminus with a capacity of 3,000 to 4,000 buses has also been proposed.
