Ministry of Health proposes operationalizing of
100 Food Streets across the country to promote hygienic and safe food
practices
Financial assistance of Rs. 1 crore per Food Street to states/UTs
In a significant and innovative move, Union Health Ministry in collaboration with Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs has requested states/UTs to develop 100 food streets in 100 districts across the country. This initiative is being taken up as a pilot project to create an example for other such streets to come up across the country for ensuring hygienic and safe food practices. The aim of this project is to encourage safe and healthy food practices among food businesses and community members, thus, reducing foodborne illnesses and improving the overall health outcomes.
In a letter to states, Shri Rajesh Bhushan, Union Health Secretary and Shri Manoj Joshi, Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs Secretary have highlighted that “Easy access to safe and hygienic food is vital for the good health of citizens. Safe food practices not only promote “eat right campaign” and food safety, but will improve hygiene credibility of local food businesses, boost local employment, tourism and in turn, economy. It also leads to a cleaner and greener environment.”
Street foods have traditionally been an integral part of Indian society and are present all across the Country. They represent the rich local tradition of cuisine. Street foods not only provide daily diet at affordable prices to millions but also provide direct employment to a large number of people and also support the tourism industry. Food Safety and Hygiene at street food outlets & hubs remain a matter of concern. With rapid urbanization, while these hubs have led to easy access to food, this has also aggravated the issue of food contamination & associated health issues due to unhygienic and unsafe food practices.
This unique initiative will be implemented through National Health Mission (NHM) in convergence with Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs & with technical support from FSSAI. The financial assistance for the initiative to States/UTs in the form of Rs.1 crore per food street/districts will be given to fill up critical gaps. 100 such food streets will be opened up in 100 districts across the country (List given below). This assistance will be provided under National Health Mission (NHM) in the ratio of 60:40 or 90: 10 with the condition that standard branding of these food streets will be done as per FSSAI guidelines.
Municipal Corporations/Development Authorities/ District Collectors at the state level will take major initiatives to ensure convergence in terms of financial resources & physical infrastructure. Various other initiatives such as training of food handlers, independent third party audits, and certification of Eat Right Street Food Hubs 'SOP for Modernisation of Food Streets', have been taken to enhance food safety standards. Schemes like "Support to Urban Street Vendors (SUSV)", a component of Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana- National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAYNULM), Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs have also been taken up. In addition, States/UTs can also conduct training programmes for street vendors to orient them on aspects vis. food safety, maintenance of hygiene, and waste disposal. Travelogues,
memoirs, or informative/research-based manuscripts dealing with various
political, social, cultural, economic or science- related aspects of
national movement etc. 
Background :
Tourism in India accounts for 9.6 percent of the GDP and is the 3rd largest foreign exchange earner for the country
The World Travel & Tourism Council calculated that tourism generated ₹14.02 lakh crore (US$220 billion) or 9.6% of the nation's GDP in 2016 and supported 40.343 million jobs, 9.3% of its total employment

Challenges:
Bag snatching is also one of the popular forms of petty crime.
Pickpockets in crowded places such as bus and train stations
Violent crime isn’t common in this country, especially not against foreigners
scam you or extort money
Police- corruption, known to harass, extort money
India in Safety Index at 47 position.
How Safe is India really?
OVERALL RISK : HIGH
Though India is considered a generally safe country, due to its size, there are more dangerous areas and less dangerous ones. It is necessary that you remain vigilant at all times.
WOMEN TRAVELERS RISK : HIGH
Sexual assaults are on the rise in India, and it is dangerous for women to travel alone in this country, whether by day or night. Always strive to be accompanied by someone when outside. Move-in groups and avoid poorly lit and deserted streets.
SCAMS RISK : HIGH
This is a serious issue in India. If you're a first-time traveler to India, you will most certainly get scammed as this country is notorious for scams performed on tourists. Taxi scams with taxi drivers convincing you to take other accommodation are very common, as are those where vendors give you less change than they should. Whatever service anyone offers you - you find out how much it costs first, because they will try to charge literally everything.
TERRORISM RISK : HIGH
India keeps being targeted by terrorists so there is a great risk of them trying to carry out an attack again. Anti-Western terrorist groups sometimes operate in India, including Islamist extremist groups.
MUGGING RISK : LOW
Muggings and kidnappings aren't at all common in India.
NATURAL DISASTERS RISK : HIGH
The main threats to India when it comes to natural disasters are earthquakes, floods and severe storms that commonly hit this beautiful country causing great damage.
PICKPOCKETS RISK : HIGH
Pickpockets operate literally everywhere in India. Be careful not to get your pockets picked and bag snatching is another very common form of petty theft. Pickpockets are especially common in public transport.
TRANSPORT & TAXIS RISK : MEDIUM
Be wary of pickpockets in public transport, and taxi drivers (as well as tuk-tuk drivers) trying to rip you off. Be especially careful in the overnight buses or trains and don't accept any food or drinks as they might be spiked. Keep in mind that driving is dangerous because of poor road conditions and the fact that India follows the left-hand driving system.

Kerala Government Partners With Facebook India To Promote Tourism Effectively On Social Media

Kerala to boost tourism
Promoting state tourism has been one of the top priorities of the present Kerala Government.
In today’s times social media forms a good portion in your marketing
and promotional strategy. However, merely opening a Facebook page
doesn’t equate to a social media marketing strategy.
Kerala
Tourism has created official Facebook pages in French and German
languages, thus becoming the first tourism board in India to launch
pages in a foreign language in social media. The pages contain details
of the destinations in French (https://www.facebook.com/KeralaTourismeOfficiel) and in German (https://www.facebook.com/KeralaTourismus)
languages to help tourists from the respective countries in their
preparations, and to enable them to understand the experience offered by
the state, a release stated.
“In
the technology-driven world of today where information can be made
available on mobile phones and computers, the choice of language plays a
significant role, especially to reach out to a wider audience. Language
should not be a barrier in connecting with people,”
http://news.oneindia.in/.../kerala-announces-tax... The
major announcements include a reduction in luxury tax to 5% on hotels
from June to August to promote off-season tourism. The step is expected
to help reduce tariff in hotels and resorts in the state's major
backwater and hill destinations.
