On April 17, 2026, NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Suman Bery formally released the anthology "Divya Bharat: A Window to the Soul of India" in New Delhi. The publication is conceived as a comprehensive, year-round tourism companion covering all States and Union Territories of India and is designed to strengthen India's tourism ecosystem by spreading footfalls beyond the conventional iconic sites. The anthology features approximately 2,100 tourism destinations and 1,200 cultural listings, totalling about 3,000 curated entries that blend destinations, culture, cuisine, textiles, and handicrafts. It includes a dedicated monthly travel calendar and detailed State-wise chapters that highlight both flagship attractions and lesser-known offerings, helping travellers plan visits aligned with seasons, festivals, and regional events. At the launch, Bery emphasised that "tourism is a key growth driver" for the Indian economy and stressed the need for each State to develop a world-class destination and promote longer tourist stays — particularly in domestic and religious tourism, which together account for the bulk of India's tourist footfalls. The anthology is part of a wider NITI Aayog effort to integrate tourism into State growth strategies, support last-mile destination development, and align Centre–State collaboration with the Viksit Bharat tourism push that targets a much larger contribution of the sector to GDP and employment by 2047. The launch was attended by senior officials from the Ministry of Tourism, NITI Aayog and several State tourism boards.
