The Gujarat state government launched the Shravan Tirth Darshan Yojana 2024, a pilgrimage program. This scheme benefits senior citizens of all communities, castes, and genders in the state. The Gujarat Shravan Tirth Darshan Yojana allows senior citizens to travel within the state by non-AC state transport bus, with the state government covering 50% of the travel expenses. The state government recently made significant changes to the scheme’s norms.

Shravan Tirth Darshan Yojana 

As we all know, the Gujarat government already provides many religious schemes to the state’s pilgrims. Among these is the Gujarat श्रावण तीर्थ दर्शन योजना. The scheme only provides expense subsidies to senior citizens who wish to embark on a Tirth Yatra to various locations in Gujarat. This scheme benefits elderly people regardless of where they live. Any eligible citizen can apply for the श्रावण तीर्थ दर्शन योजना 2024, which allows them to travel to all popular religious destinations on non-AC buses. Under the scheme, the state government would cover 50% of the beneficiary’s travel expenses. The latest time duration period for visiting the various pilgrim sites has been three days and three nights.
