ମେନ୍ସ
GS I (Indian Culture) and GS II (State governance). Heritage festivals like Dasara raise the issue of balancing tourism and cultural promotion with environmental and civic management; measures such as a flex-free city, regional tableaux and diplomatic outreach project cultural soft power. The way forward is sustainable event management, waste and plastic control, and inclusive participation of States and communities.
