The Chief Minister Tirtha Darshan Yojana 2.0 has recently been launched by the Government of Madhya Pradesh. This scheme was started in 2023. It provides free pilgrimage trips for senior citizens aged 60 and above in the state. Under this scheme, elderly citizens will be able to travel to all pilgrimage sites across India at no cost.
Many elderly people in our country are unable to embark on pilgrimages due to financial constraints. Keeping this in mind, the Madhya Pradesh government introduced the Chief Minister Tirtha Darshan Yojana. The unique feature of this scheme is that, in addition to free travel, elderly people will also receive assistance for accommodation, food, guide services, and other related expenses. The state government will cover all costs incurred during the journey.
Throughout this article, we will explain how to download the MP Mukhyamantri Tirtha Darshan Yojana Application Form PDF from the Tirtha Darshan Portal for free pilgrimage.
