We observe the data of the period from 2024 to 2025 the study shows changes in Gross District Domestic Product (GDDP), employment opportunities, infrastructure development and revenue generation. The findings tell us that economic activity increase when public expenditure on infrastructure, urban development, enhancement of railways and facilities given to tourist visiting for spiritual growth. Tourist footfall increases at high rate during the study period, unexpectable level in 2025. Due to high tourist footfall, the city has to prepare for accommodation, food supply, transport, retail services and also digital provider. The Ayodhya district’s traditional economic structure has transformed; service sector plays important role in the growth of Gross District Domestic Product.

Due to increase in number of tourist consumption, there is increase in income of service provider which contribute to rise in collection of Goods and services Tax (GST). We can also see shift in disguised rural unemployment to formal and semi-formal service provider sector; labour market has changed for better distribution work. Employment elasticity calculations support in the nature of development process by focusing that production growth in this period was slightly high labour absorbing as employment opportunities has been increased.
