The Ministry of Civil Aviation has inaugurated Yatri Sewa Diwas 2025, starting from Hindon Airport, with Union Minister Rammohan Naidu leading the launch. Emphasizing a passenger-centric approach, Naidu highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of governance rooted in service to the people. The initiative aims to make airports more responsive and equitable by addressing gaps in basic amenities, health safety, and inclusivity, especially for women, senior citizens, and travelers at smaller or newer airports. The launch event featured free medical check-ups, health awareness drives under the Swastha Nari, Sashakt Parivar Abhiyan, cultural welcome activities, tree planting, and outreach programs targeting taxi drivers, students, and vulnerable groups. Additionally, all airports are set to become WiFi-enabled under the Digital India Mission, ensuring standardized digital access and a more seamless travel experience across the country.
Yatri Sewa Diwas seeks to elevate passenger welfare to a level equal with infrastructure development, emphasizing service quality, safety, and dignity for all travelers. By focusing on health awareness, digital connectivity, and inclusive services, the campaign aims to create consistent improvements in airport facilities—such as hygiene, comfortable waiting areas, and responsive staff—while ensuring vulnerable groups receive better protection. Success hinges on sustained efforts like staff training, maintenance, monitoring, and continuous feedback to translate this symbolic initiative into lasting change. Ultimately, the initiative envisions a future where every journey is not only efficient but also humane, safe, and inclusive for every traveler.
