The event aims to showcase the tourism potential of South Indian States while emphasising investment opportunities and employment generation.
The FKCCI said the ‘Dakshin Bharat Utsav’ promises to be a vibrant two-day affair, meticulously designed to engage and empower stakeholders within the dynamic tourism industry, with a diverse array of activities lined up, including the Tourism Investors Meet, an exhibition spotlighting the rich culture, cuisine, and tourism offerings of the Southern States, conferences, and invaluable networking opportunities through B2B and B2G interactions.
In connection with the ‘Dakshin Bharat Utsav’, the FKCCI and Tourism Department conducted a promotional event in the city on Thursday evening (May 9) to highlight the business opportunities in Mysuru and the potential for investment in the tourism sector. M.K. Savitha, Joint Director, Tourism Department, Mysuru, Nanjund Prasad, Vice-Chairman, Tourism Committee FKCCI and other official were present at the event.
The FKCCI said Mysuru promotional event was an occasion to draw potential investors and entrepreneurs from MSMEs and to showcase the possibilities that exist for investment in the tourism sector.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
