This study looks at Varanasi's change after 2014, with particular attention on the Ghats' growth, the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, and the socioeconomic effects on nearby companies. The research examines survey responses from locals, visitors, and company owners, identifying both favorable and unfavorable results. Significant infrastructural improvements, a rise in religious tourism, and improved local commercial prospects have all resulted from the Ghats' growth.
