The Chief Minister (CM) of Delhi, Mr. Arvind Kejriwal has started a beneficiary scheme for the senior citizens over the age of 60 called Delhi Mukhyamantri Tirth Yatra Scheme. Under this scheme, the Delhi government will provide free pilgrimage visits to around 77,000+ senior citizens of the state. The expenses of food and accommodation will also be covered by the state government.
The Delhi Mukhyamantri Tirthya Yatra Yojana was first going to be started in 2018 but this scheme has been postponed for an year and a half because of Covid-19. In 2021, the Delhi Mukhyamantri Tirtha Yojana continued once again in which the Delhi government will provide visits to the pilgrimage spots including Ayodhya.
