Madhya Pradesh
Rs 50000 Rupees Subsidy by Madhya Pradesh Government to All Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Pilgrims
Madhya Pradesh provides a subsidy to its citizens wishing to visit Sita Mandir in Sri Lanka, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and Kailash Mansarovar in China.
Under the chief minister pilgrimage scheme, the government provides a 50% subsidy on expenses (maximum Rs 30,000 at the time of starting) to pilgrims.
The government also increased the subsidy for a pilgrimage to Kailash Mansarovar from Rs 30,000 to Rs 50,000. However, MP is the only state that subsidies travel to holy places in Pakistan (Nankana Saheb Shrine and Hinglaj Mata temple), China (Kailash Man Sarovar), and Cambodia (Angkor Vat), and Sri Lanka (Sita Mandir and Ashok Vatika). To clarify, the scheme was launched in 2006 with chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announcing to provide financial assistance to citizens undertaking a pilgrimage to Kailash Mansarovar (Source Indian Express). Further expanded by including two places of religious importance in Pakistan in 2007-08 and Sri Lanka and Cambodia in 2012.
Govt also provides subsidies for visiting 15 centers of pilgrimage in India.
Apart from that the state government also provides subsidies for visiting 15 centers of pilgrimage in India.
The MPTDC made the nodal agency for implementation of the one-of-its-kind scheme for subsidized pilgrimage to so many places of religious importance within and outside India.
More than 150 people from the state have so far visited the holy places in Sri Lanka and Cambodia since their inclusion in the scheme, MPTDC chairman Tapan Bhowmick said. Though many from far-flung areas of the state also applied for subsidies to visit Kailash Mansarovar, none shown interest to visit holy places in Pakistan, he added.
In conclusion, pilgrims need to submit the reimbursement claim with details of expenses within 60 days of completing the journey to MPTDC to avail of the subsidy ( Source Hindustan Times).

UTTRAKHAND
The government of Uttrakhand is giving a subsidy to all Kailash Mansarovar Yatra pilgrims of Rs 30000. But a body of Hindu seers has urged the Uttarakhand government to double the subsidy it grants to Kailash Mansarovar pilgrims. To clarify, this was after cabinet minister Satpal Maharaj gave the nod for increasing the subsidy from Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000, which is at par with the grant that gave Delhi.
Bharat Sadhu Samaj vice-president Brahamswarup Brahmachari said Uttarakhand being the ‘abode of gods’ should open “its heart for the pilgrims”. “Given the fact that Uttarakhand hosts the Kailash yatra. The state should increase the subsidy amount to at least twice what it grants at present.”
Another seer, Haridwar-based Maha Mandaleshwar Hari Chetannand Maharaj, says it was a welcome step that several states were coming forward to help the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrims. “But the ambit of subsidy should be extended to other pilgrimages as well,” he said.
The Recommendation Of Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam Ltd (KMVN)
The Ministry of External Affairs conducts the Kailash pilgrimage for which it shortlists the pilgrims out of several hundred applications it receives. Currently, the fee for undertaking a pilgrimage is Rs 3.50 lakh, which may go up to Rs 4.80 lakh as per a recommendation made by the Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam Ltd (KMVN), a Uttarakhand government entity and nodal agency for the pilgrimage.
Last year, UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath, doubled the subsidy for Kailash pilgrims from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh. Earlier, Adityanath’s predecessor Akhilesh Yadav had doubled the subsidy to Rs 50,000 during his stint.
Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh are the states that provide money to their residents going for the pilgrimage. Gujarat had announced a subsidy for such pilgrims in 1998. The western state provides Rs 20,000 in subsidy, Haryana gives Rs 50,000 while Rajasthan is at par with UP, granting Rs 1 lakh subsidy for their pilgrims.
Dharchula in Uttarakhand falls along the route of the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage. Pilgrimage from another route – Nathu La – was stopped last year in the backdrop of the Doklam crisis. The pilgrims, who were planning to take the route from Sikkim, later accommodated in the batches that started from Uttarakhand. However, beginning in May every year, the pilgrimage snakes from 17,500 ft high Lipulekh pass and culminates at Kailash Mansarovar lake.
Chhatisgarh
Rs 25000 Rupees Subsidy by Chhatisgarh Government to All Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Pilgrims.
“Chhattisgarh Mukhyamantri Tirth Yatra Yojana” started on December 04, 2012, for senior citizens of 60 years and above for providing free travel to various pilgrimage sites outside the state. Certainly, under this scheme, senior citizens will get benefits once in their lifetime. In addition, in this sequence, persons with disabilities (PwDs) will get the benefit from traveling to pilgrimage sites.
