Shri Ramlala Darshan (Ayodhya Dham) Scheme

The Shri Ramlala Darshan (Ayodhya Dham) Scheme, recently announced by the Chhattisgarh government, is a state initiative allowing residents to visit the newly constructed Ram temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. This scheme, implemented by the Chhattisgarh Tourism Board, targets about 20,000 beneficiaries each year, specifically residents aged between 18 to 75 who pass a health examination. In its first phase, it focuses on individuals over 55 years old. The scheme includes a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) to manage a 900 km journey, ensuring facilities like security, health, food, and transport. The scheme holds significant religious and cultural importance, providing an opportunity for devotees to experience the cultural heritage associated with Ayodhya.
