Haj Suvidha Mobile App and fully digitized portal enables end-to-end online registration

The Haj Suvidha Mobile App and its fully digitized portal are part of the Government of India’s modernization efforts to make the Haj pilgrimage smoother and more accessible. Here’s a clear breakdown of what they enable:

Key Features
- End-to-end online registration:
Pilgrims can complete the entire registration process digitally, without needing physical paperwork.

- Integrated services:
Payments, health uploads, real-time tracking, and feedback are all handled through the app and portal.

- Medical support:
Health records can be uploaded, and pilgrims have access to clinics, mobile medical teams, and emergency services in Saudi Arabia.

- Accommodation & transport:
Buildings in Makkah and Madinah are pre-booked, transport fleets and airport shuttles are upgraded, and AC-equipped tents are provided in Mina/Arafat.

- Training & orientation:
Facilities at Haj House Mumbai and regional centers have been enhanced to prepare pilgrims, especially first-timers.

- Smart technology:
For Haj 2026, pilgrims will receive Haj Suvidha Smart Watches to assist with navigation, tracking, and emergency alerts in Saudi Arabia.

- Improved support staff:
The State Haj Inspector (SHI) ratio has been improved from 1:300 to 1:150, ensuring better on-ground assistance.

Purpose
The goal is to ensure:
- Greater comfort, safety, and efficiency for pilgrims.
- Better coordination between the Ministry of Minority Affairs, Haj Committee of India, and State Haj Committees.
- Special focus on senior citizens and first-time pilgrims with enhanced facilitation and training.

✨ This initiative reflects India’s push toward digital governance and smart infrastructure for large-scale religious pilgrimages.
