Answer: Jharkhand
Notes: Jharkhand launched India’s first-ever mining tourism initiative. The state partnered with Central Coalfields Limited (CCL) through a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This initiative was inspired by Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s recent visit to the Gava Museum of Mines in Barcelona, Spain. The project aims to transform Jharkhand’s industrial identity into an educational and eco-industrial tourism experience. Tourists can witness live mining operations and visit nearby natural attractions. The initiative is implemented by the Jharkhand Tourism Development Corporation (JTDC).
