About Mukhyamantri Tirth Darshan Yojana
Chief Minister started Mukhyamantri Tirth Darshan Yojana on 5 May 2023 (also happens to be CM’s birthday) in which state govt. will bear all travel expenses of passengers. While launching the Teerth Darshan Yojana, CM flagged off the first batch of buses carrying around 200 people from Panchkula. These buses took the beneficiaries to Ambala Cantt and from there, they travelled to Ayodhya via train. The trip concluded on 8th May 2023.
“Tirth Darshan” is commonly used in India, particularly in relation to religious tourism. “Tirth” refers to pilgrimage sites, and “Darshan” means to have a sight or view of a deity or holy place. Several state governments in India have initiated various schemes and programs to promote religious tourism, such as providing financial assistance or subsidizing travel expenses for pilgrims visiting sacred sites. Mukhyamantri Tirth Yatra Yojana will be implemented across the entire Haryana state.
