A real story from Uttarakhand
Ramesh Joshi की property Mukteshwar में थी — एक कमरे का छोटा सा घर। पर नज़ारा बेमिसाल था। पहाड़, बर्फ, और दूर तक फैली घाटी। वो चाहते थे कि ज़्यादा लोग यहाँ आएं, पर पैसे नहीं थे।
2023 में उन्होंने Uttarakhand Tourism में registration करवाई — सिर्फ ₹500 में। फिर Pandit Deen Dayal scheme के तहत ₹4 लाख का loan मिला। उसी से उन्होंने दो और कमरे बनाए, एक छोटा सा dining area, और एक बगीचे में बैठने की जगह।
पहले साल में peak season में ₹85,000 कमाए। EMI ₹8,600 थी — जो bookings से आसानी से निकल आती थी। अब तीन साल बाद, उनकी property पर 47 reviews हैं और peak season में 90% occupancy है।
"मैंने कभी नहीं सोचा था कि सरकार इतनी मदद करेगी," वो कहते हैं। "बस registration करवाओ — बाकी रास्ता खुलता जाता है।"
— Ramesh Joshi, Mukteshwar, Uttarakhand
