HAR YATRA EK SEVA

Where Every Journey Becomes a Gift of Goodness

Har Yatra Ek Seva is one of the most meaningful initiatives at Shree Mallikarjuna Travels.
It ensures that every group tour we operate doesn’t just take people to destinations — it helps someone fulfil their long-awaited dream of going on a yatra.

Below is the complete understanding of the initiative.

WHY We Started It

To make travel more than sightseeing.
To make every journey emotionally meaningful.
To ensure that a deserving person who cannot afford a pilgrimage or tour gets a chance to experience it once in their lifetime.
Travel becomes more fulfilling when it uplifts someone.
This is the purpose behind Har Yatra Ek Seva.

WHAT It Is

Har Yatra Ek Seva is a Social Seat Initiative where SMT provides free seats on every group departure to:

• Elders
• Financially struggling individuals
• Deserving nominees recommended by travellers

These seats are 100% funded by SMT and NOT charged to other travellers.
It is a way of turning every group tour into an act of kindness.

HOW It Works

The system is simple, structured and transparent.

• Social Seat Allocation
  For every 40 full-paying travellers → 2 Social Seats
  For every 20 full-paying travellers → 1 Social Seat
• Selection Process
  Travellers may nominate deserving individuals
  SMT verifies the details with respect
  The seat is allotted without any additional cost
• Important Principle
  The person receiving the seat is treated with respect and dignity, without highlighting them or making them uncomfortable.

WHOM It Helps

The initiative is meant for:

• Senior Citizens
  Elders who deeply wish to go on a yatra but cannot manage the expense.
• Financially Challenged Travellers
  Individuals who cannot afford a tour due to genuine hardship.
• Nominees Recommended by Travellers
  A traveller may know someone who deserves this opportunity.
• Devotees Who Dream of a Pilgrimage
  People who have a spiritual wish but no way to fulfil it.

WHAT Travellers Gain From This

• A Journey With Purpose - You’re not just travelling — you’re helping someone else travel.
• A Meaningful Bond - Your group becomes part of someone’s dream.
• A Culture of Giving - Every traveller contributes without paying extra.
• A Positive Travel Memory - Helping someone makes the group experience more heartfelt.

WHY It Matters

Because not all blessings come from temples — some come from helping someone reach the temple.
Har Yatra Ek Seva transforms every group tour into:
a shared blessing
a quiet act of service
a meaningful journey for everyone involved
This initiative reflects SMT’s core belief:
Travel should bring joy, and it should also spread joy.

IMPACT of the Initiative

• Dozens of elders have completed bucket-list yatras
• Devotees who waited for years finally travelled
• Families in financial difficulty experienced darshan with dignity
• Groups feel emotionally connected to the journey
• The joy spreads both ways — to the one who travels, and the one who enables the travel.

HAR YATRA EK SEVA — In One Sentence

Every group tour donates a journey to someone who deserves it.
Every traveller becomes part of that seva.
