The state government announced plans to develop Chandil Dam into an eco‑friendly tourism destination, aiming to boost local tourism and preserve natural resources.
The Jharkhand government has unveiled a plan to transform Chandil Dam into an eco‑friendly tourism centre, as part of its broader strategy to promote sustainable tourism in the state.
The proposal includes the construction of visitor facilities, walking trails, and educational signage that highlight the region’s biodiversity. Emphasis will be placed on using renewable energy sources and waste‑management systems to minimise the environmental footprint.
State tourism officials say the project will create jobs for local communities and attract visitors from nearby districts, thereby stimulating the regional economy. They also noted that the initiative aligns with national guidelines on responsible tourism.
Work is expected to begin early next year, with a phased approach that prioritises infrastructure development while preserving the dam’s natural surroundings.
