Lucknow, August 26: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has launched the Lokmata Ahilyabai Matrushakti Yatra Yojana, allowing women aged 60 and above to travel free of charge within the state using their voter ID or Aadhaar card. This initiative was announced on the occasion of Rakshabandhan and will be available from August 27 to 29.
The program saw great enthusiasm from the attendees, with many expressing gratitude towards the Chief Minister. Women such as Ganesh Devi and Rajrani shared that they would now be able to travel independently without dependence on others for transportation. The scheme is expected to make religious pilgrimages easier, as many elderly women attending the event showed interest in visiting religious sites like Ayodhya and Kashi.
The Yogi government aims to empower women through this and other schemes, catering to various age groups and fostering self-reliance among the elderly through skills such as tailoring, spinning, and weaving.
