The promise was to work with state governments to ensure convenient pilgrimage facilities for senior citizens. Several state-level pilgrimage schemes exist, and some pre-date the 2024 manifesto, but those do not by themselves prove a central-state coordination mechanism under this Lok Sabha promise. I found general central tourism and pilgrimage-infrastructure activity, including PRASHAD and Bharat Gaurav trains, but not a senior-citizen-specific central framework, MoU, guideline, budget line or delivery report coordinating with states. Under the scheme-name rule, state-run programmes cannot be credited unless there is evidence of central coordination matching the pledge. The promise therefore remains pending. Budget: no direct allocation, sanction or utilisation evidence for a central senior-citizen Teerth Yatra coordination programme was found.
