Ayodhya, The Ram Mandir BOOM
By Vihaan Poddar
The Ram Mandir construction has sparked a significant economic boom in Ayodhya. Tourism is the key driver, with pilgrim numbers expected to reach 300,000 daily. Land prices have soared, attracting big investors to develop hotels, resorts, and residential projects.
Government initiatives further fuel the growth. Projects worth ₹85,000 crore are planned under the Ayodhya Master Plan 2031, including a new airport and improved infrastructure. This surge in tourism and development creates new jobs, boosting local income and business opportunities.
However, challenges remain. Managing the rapid growth without compromising Ayodhya's cultural heritage and ensuring equitable benefits for all residents are crucial concerns. Overall, the Ram Mandir's economic impact is undeniable, transforming Ayodhya from a pilgrimage town to a potential economic hub.
