He said that after becoming the Chief Minister, an initiative has been taken to give Jashpur a new identity on the tourism map through Jashpur Jamboree. In the Jashpur Jamboree held in the year 2024, a large number of people from our neighboring states also reached to participate and witness that occasion. In Jashpur Jamboree, people not only gave a new atmosphere for eco-tourism and adventure sports, but were also introduced to tribal traditions. Chief Minister Sai said that cultural performances, local cuisine fair and tribal dances attracted tourists, which provided employment to local artisans and guides.
The Chief Minister said that once again a new season of Jashpur Jamboree is going to be organized. In which people from the country and the world will be able to reach here from 6 to 9 November and get acquainted with adventure, art and community experiences. To bring alive the fragrance of the soil of Jashpur, an exhibition of handicrafts like tattoo art, wood craft and iron craft along with tribal dances like Karma, Sarhul and a cultural evening based on folk drama will be organized.
This will not only preserve and spread our cultural heritage, but will also give global recognition to local art and handicrafts. Jashpur Jamboree is a festival that weaves nature, culture and development in one thread. This event presents the natural beauty, tribal heritage and modern development of Jashpur together. Jashpur Jamboree is not only a means of entertainment but also of economic empowerment.
He said that under the Swadesh Darshan Yojana, boating, cactus garden and tent facilities have been added to Mayali Nature Camp. The tourist places here are now equipped with better facilities, the largest natural Shivling Madheshwar mountain in Mayali has been registered in the Golden Book of World Records, which is establishing Jashpur as a spiritual and cultural center.
The Chief Minister said that we are looking at the tourism sector as an industry, which will increase local entrepreneurship. Home-stay policy has been implemented in the state so that tourists want to know and understand the tribal culture.
They have a curiosity and eagerness about tribal culture, traditions, their food, lifestyle. In such a situation, home-stay is a new concept of development in the tribal areas of Chhattisgarh, in which local communities are getting better employment opportunities.
This will also promote tourism. Local home-stays, guides and craftsmen will directly benefit from festivals like Jashpur Jamboori. He said that they want to establish Jashpur Jamboree as an annual festival, in which Jashpur can become a major center of attraction for international tourists as well. Jashpur’s reach will increase with GIS mapping and digital marketing. Here, youth and all people associated with tourism will be given training, so that they can meet global standards< CM Sai added.
