There is a certain energy in entrepreneur that you cannot escape when you meet them. They can energize and recharge your dead cells in ways in which none can revive more. I met Mr. Ramesh from EDI who has a typical Indian humble beginning in rural setting and a atypical unconventional follow through.

Government can bring out policy for promoting rural tourism and help it reach all deserving villages. Ensure that villages are not discriminated based on history,geography,demography,religion or natural location. Build a belief that every village has got the potential. Ensure that any village can be converted into a tourist destination without any administrative hassles.

Ensure that most of the funds is managed by village self help group/cooperative/trusts. All revenue generated directly or indirectly through rural tourism should be tax free. Please add to the list. I am not good at policymaking.
