The Integrated Sohra Tourism Circuit was launched in Meghalaya under the PM-DevINE scheme, with Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia laying its foundation. Valued at ₹233 crore, this project aims to develop Sohra (Cherrapunji) into a model destination for sustainable tourism. It forms part of the larger ₹650 crore initiative focusing on tourism, connectivity, and regional development in the Northeast. Additionally, key infrastructure projects such as the Shillong–Silchar Expressway, Umroi Airport expansion, and New Shillong City initiative are being implemented to boost Meghalaya’s economic growth and tourism potential in the region.
