The Bihar government has mandated that all state officials and employees undertake compulsory two-day, two-night visits with their families to tourist, eco-tourism, or rural tourism destinations outside their home districts every three months. Scheduled on Fridays and Saturdays, these trips require visits to at least three sites, with overnight stays. Officials must submit detailed reports including photos and suggestions to local authorities. The travel time will be considered official duty, and no official work such as meetings or inspections is allowed during these visits. The initiative aims to promote tourism infrastructure and economic activity across Bihar.
