The Delhi government has allocated INR 139 crore in the 2025-26 budget to boost tourism, art, culture, and language, nearly doubling last year’s allocation. Key initiatives include an international film festival (INR 30 crore), Yamuna River boat tours, a new tourist circuit, and a winter festival. A Talent Hunt Scheme (INR 5 crore) will support emerging artists, while a fellowship program (INR 2 crore) will train young tourism professionals. The budget also increases funding for the Maithili-Bhojpuri Academy, further enriching Delhi’s cultural landscape.
