During the 10th Governing Council Meeting of NITI Aayog at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, earlier on Saturday, the PM said that the G20 Summit helped India get recognised as a global tourist destination, but states should leverage the opportunity.

He urged the states to develop at least one tourist destination of global standards and expectations, according to a statement by NITI Aayog.

He said that 25-30 such tourist destinations can be created across India, NITI Aayog release added.

The 10th Governing Council Meeting of NITI Aayog was attended by Chief Ministers and Lt. Governors representing 24 states and seven UTs.

This year's theme was Viksit Rajya for Viksit Bharat@2047.

Going further, the Prime Minister said that it is the aspiration of every Indian for the country to be a Viksit Bharat.

It is not the agenda of any party but the aspiration of 140 crore Indians.

He observed that if all states work together towards this goal, then we will make stupendous progress.

He also said that we should commit that every state, every city, every village will be developed, and then Viksit Bharat will be achieved much before 2047.

PM said that India has emerged among top five economies of the world and 25 crore have escaped poverty.
