The number of Indian people who receive assistance from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in travelling overseas for religious purposes, including the Haj, Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, and other major pilgrimages, is known as the Pilgrims Assisted by the MEA. Coordination with foreign governments, visa facilitation, medical facilities, trip planning, and guaranteeing pilgrims’ safety and well-being while travelling are all included in the help. In order to handle crises that pilgrims encounter overseas, the MEA frequently offers logistical and consular assistance through Indian embassies and consulates. This indicator is significant because it shows how the government helps Indian citizens travel for religious purposes in a way that is accessible, safe, and well-organized. Such pilgrimages have great spiritual and cultural value for millions of Indians, and MEA support makes sure that these trips go off without a hitch. It also emphasises how India works diplomatically with host nations to oversee major religious gatherings like the Hajj. Furthermore, by providing organized direction and medical assistance, this support is essential in safeguarding vulnerable populations, like the elderly and first-time tourists. By keeping track of the number of pilgrims helped, policymakers may enhance international cooperation, improve service delivery, and uphold India’s reputation as a country that respects the welfare and religious rights of its people everywhere.
