In Budget 2026, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced plans to develop 15 archaeological sites into immersive cultural destinations. The aim is to preserve India’s civilisational heritage while making it more accessible, engaging, and economically viable. Key sites proposed for development include Raigiri, Lothal, Sarnath, and Hastinapur. Only about 0.25 million foreign tourists visit the Bodhi Tree and the site each year, a strikingly low number given its potential to attract millions more. There is an urgent need to allocate a proper budget for its maintenance and development.
