Baba Ramdev to convert two islands into yoga resorts to attract tourists

The Center wants to increase the footsteps of tourists and wants to give two islands with lighthouse to develop as not just a yoga resort bit also as a tourist spot. AS revealed by Shipping Minister Nitin Gadkari, there are over 700 uninhabited islands across India. These can be developed for tourism, filmmaking, entertainment activities, as honeymoon destinations, maritime security apart from generating non-conventional energy - both wind and solar.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 29 November 2015.

Baba Ramdev has already established a Patanjali Yogpeeth on an island in Scotland and he apparently has plans to turn the island into a peace haven.
Hence, the government wants him to develop a scenic island with a lighthouse and yoga on the beach. Such an action would have tremendous tourism potential. Seaplanes can be used to reach such islands.
While making the offer to Baba Ramdev, shipping minister Nitin Gadkari has said that such an island resort can combine short-duration stays along with yoga and thus make it an attractive proposition for both domestic and foreign visitors.
Incidentally, renowned ad filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar has shown keen interest to develop two islands in Andaman Nicobar Island and Lakshadweep with lighthouses as tourist destinations.
