Free Air Tickets to senior citizens for pilgrimage - Rajasthan
In a bid to increase the happiness index of Rajasthan, CM Vasundhara Raje re-launched the Deendayal Upadhyay Varishth Nagrik Teerth Yatra scheme that was started by the former CM of the state. However, the new and improved scheme offers a lot more perks. The scheme is for senior citizens to go on pilgrimages in the country, free of cost. The new addition is that the people will board a flight instead of a train and unlike the old scheme, this one will also bear their cost of lodging and food. Now, this seems like a comfortable way for senior citizens to travel to their favorite temples in the country. ALSO SEE A train for religious tourism to be launched by Indian Railways
The scheme is for citizens over 70 and the first batch of 30 people has already left for Tirupati. A total of 111 senior citizens were chosen to visit Tirupati this year. They will be sent once the first batch is back. But the scheme is not just for going to Tirupati, 225 citizens will be going to Jagannath Puri while 357 of them will go to Rameswaram.
The senior citizens were chosen from a lottery at random and the process was overseen by the Devasthan Department of the government. The scheme is a move to get the blessings of the elderly by keeping them happy and increasing the happiness index of the state in return. While there are such schemes in a few other states as well, Rajasthan is the only one that offers free air travel, accommodation and food. Kudos!

________________________________
Air India has decided to give special discounts to senior citizens.
Indian citizens above the age of 60 will get a discount of as much as
50 percent on every economy class ticket booked from the Air India
website.
What comes across as an incentive for retirees in India, the Air
India's offer for the senior citizens can be availed by simply
fulfilling a few requirements. The obvious first, the concerned person
seeking the discount should be 60 years of age or above, and must have
a valid government identification to verify the same. The senior
citizen can belong to any part of the country.

The flight ticket needs to be purchased from the Air India website,
and the same can be done upto seven days prior to the desired date of
departure. Apart from this, as an additional incentive, Air India has
also introduced a special discount of INR 1,000 for a senior citizen
who is travelling with an infant.
This special discount to senior citizens by Air India is expected to
make the lives of elderly people much easier in this country, as a
greater number of the senior population in the country will now be
able to afford air travel.
