Revenue Minister Jagat Singh Negi said Kinnaur was a very important district from strategic point of view and opening border tourism would give a major boost to economy.
He was addressing the people during his visit to Lambar village under gram panchayat Thangi, situated near the Indo- Tibetan border. He said border tourism would help in creating employment opportunities to locals and would also shorten the travel distance for the army to reach border areas.
He further said the state government had introduced English as medium of instruction from Class I to Class VIII in government schools to ensure quality education as well as to improve educational standards.
