Secrets Of Amber by Rashmi Dickinson: Hon. Tourism Minister Vishvendra Singh Bharatpur and Edward Dickinson

Rashmi Dickinson is a campaigning author. She is a cardiologist by training and an ex UK senior civil servant. From a family of freedom fighters, she now devotes her life to improving the quality of life of people in Amber. As an eco activist, she has published previously on climate change in Saving our Planet: The First Steps. She created Amber Eco Trail, where she teaches children about environmental conservation. While writing Secrets of Amber, she realised that responsible and sustainable tourism is the way forward for uplifting this impoverished heritage town. All royalties go to the development of Amber.

Secrets of Amber contains 12 beautifully illustrated walks around the ancient walled town of Amber, to encourage responsible & sustainable tourism. Learning from the experience of the World Heritage Site Amber Fort, the conversation will focus on the need for responsible & sustainable tourism, how this can be developed in practice and the potential benefits for host communities & visitors. We will also consider how the concept can help with conservation of built, natural and cultural heritage, drawing on traditional skills and digital innovation.

THE JAIPUR LITERATURE FESTIVAL
Described as the 'greatest literary show on Earth', the Jaipur Literature Festival is a sumptuous feast of ideas.

The past decade has seen it transform into a global literary phenomenon having hosted nearly 2000 speakers and welcoming over a million book lovers from across India and the globe. Our core values remain unchanged: to serve as a democratic, non-aligned platform offering free and fair access.

Every year, the Festival brings together a diverse mix of the world's greatest writers, thinkers, humanitarians, politicians, business leaders, sports people and entertainers on one stage to champion the freedom to express and engage in thoughtful debate and dialogue.

Festival Co Directors Namita Gokhale and William Dalrymple, alongside Producer Sanjoy K Roy and Teamwork Arts, create a platform for an array of speakers to debate, discuss and present their ideas in the annual five-day programme set against the backdrop of Rajasthan's stunning cultural heritage and the Diggi Palace in the state capital Jaipur.

Coetzee, Muhammad Yunus and Orhan Pamuk, Man Booker Prize winners Ben Okri, Howard Jacobson, Margaret Atwood, Marlon James, Michael Ondaatje, Paul Beatty and Yan Martel, Pulitzer Prize winners Andrew Sean Greer, Benjamin Moser, Colson Whitehead and Jhumpa Lahiri, Sahitya Akademi winners Gulzar, Javed Akhtar, M.T. Vasudevan Nair as well as the late Girish Karnad, Mahasweta Devi and U.R.
