Few Tourists Opt for Punjab’s Farm‑Stay Initiative

The state of Punjab has launched a farm‑stay program aimed at showcasing rural life and boosting agricultural tourism. The initiative encourages farmers to open their homes and fields to visitors, offering an immersive experience of Punjabi farming practices. However, early reports indicate that the scheme has drawn only a handful of tourists, far below expectations. Authorities attribute the tepid response to limited awareness and the novelty of the concept among domestic travelers. The government plans to intensify promotional activities to improve participation and sustain the program’s long‑term goals.
