Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday said the Delhi government is planning to launch a ‘Tourism and Heritage Fellowship’ programme to promote and preserve the cultural legacy of the city.
The fellowship will be implemented by the Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation and will enhance institutional capacity in the tourism sector. Under the fellowship, 40 young individuals will be selected each year and will have to contribute to heritage walks, guided tours, creation of digital and promotional content, tourism marketing, event management, operations at Dilli Haat, Garden of Five Senses, tourist information centres, film shoot coordination, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) activities. Each fellow will receive a stipend of ₹50, 000.
The CM said that the initiative is in line with the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, which emphasises strengthening domestic capabilities and traditional knowledge systems while reducing reliance on external consultants.
Applicants must be below the age of 35 and hold at least a graduate degree or equivalent qualification. Preference will be given to candidates with a degree/postgraduate qualification in tourism. Applicants must also have a minimum of one year of formal experience in tourism or a related sector, along with proficiency in both Hindi and English and strong digital skills.
