Plans to Explore New Opportunities for Tourism Growth in Udaipur
Udaipur, February 3 – IAS officer Namit Mehta (2012 batch) officially took charge as the District Collector of Udaipur on Monday at the Collectorate.

Speaking on the occasion, Collector Mehta emphasized Udaipur’s global reputation as a top tourist destination and expressed his commitment to enhancing tourism in the city. He assured that efforts will be made in coordination with officials and tourism stakeholders to explore new possibilities and improve tourist experiences.
