The state government has made 267 Persons with Disabilities (PWD) rest houses available for online reservation by any citizen, with new room rates and separate food charges.
The Madhya Pradesh government announced that all 267 rest houses managed by the Persons with Disabilities (PWD) department are now accessible for online reservation through a dedicated portal. Citizens can select either a room or a hall for short stays, and the system displays the updated rental rates for each facility.
The move aims to improve utilization of the rest houses, which were previously limited to PWD beneficiaries, by allowing the wider public to book them for travel, events or temporary accommodation. Payments for accommodation are to be made online, while meals must be settled separately at the venue.
Officials said the new pricing structure reflects current market rates and that the online platform will provide real‑time availability, reducing the need for on‑site inquiries. The service is expected to launch immediately, with the website link publicised through the department’s official channels.
The initiative is part of the state’s broader effort to digitise welfare services and make government‑run facilities more accessible to all citizens.
