Not able to find Xamarin.Forms Project Template in Visual Studio 2017 Professional

I am not able to find Project Template to build Xamarin Forms apps in my recently installed Visual Studio 2017 Professional IDE. What templates I can see in "Cross-Platform" section is as shown below.

Can anyone tell me why I am not able to get the required template?

From Visual Studio 2017 onwards you need to specify what kinds of development you want to do in the installer. To add Xamarin, simply run the installer again, choose the 'Modify' option on the start screen, and then check the box for 'Mobile Development with .NET' (you'll see the Xamarin logo next to it).

That will add support for Xamarin projects to your installation.
