The state government has issued an order of the list of changes which makes the scheme more and more attractive. It was decided to accept applications online when the first order was issued on July 14 but now, offline applications will be accepted till October 31.
It was decided to accept an income certificate issued by the competent authority to be eligible for the state-sponsored pilgrimage. But now the ration card holders under the category of Antyodaya Food Scheme, card holders from the priority family scheme will also be considered as eligible.
Another major relaxation is set to increase the number of applications which says 1,000 beneficiaries from each of the 36 districts can be selected for the scheme. This relaxation will be given till October 31. Previously it was decided to fix a quota based on the population of the districts and selection of them will be made through a lottery system.
