Divisional commissioner Rajalingam shared that following the training, a dedicated Meri Kashi course module will be launched for influencers and youth. Participants will be encouraged to create compelling reels based on Kashi's stories and upload them using #merikashi.

District magistrate Satyendra Kumar emphasised the programme's significance, calling it highly relevant for the region. He highlighted the opportunity it presents for participants to become certified tourist guides through the Meri Kashi Ambassador Programme. Upon successful completion and evaluation of the course module, participants may serve as official guides while pursuing studies or employment....
