The contract with Service Bharat for running Sandhya Chhaya, the state’s first paid old‑age home, has ended. The Madhya Pradesh Tourism Department is set to assume management.
Bhopal is set to witness a change in the management of its pioneering paid old‑age home, Sandhya Chhaya, after the contract with Service Bharat expired.
The facility, which has served the elderly community since its inauguration, was operated under a public‑private partnership that concluded at the end of the year.
In a move aimed at ensuring continuity of care, the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Department (MPT) has been chosen to take over the day‑to‑day operations and maintenance of the home.
Officials say the transition will be smooth, with MPT planning to introduce updated services and infrastructure upgrades to enhance the living conditions for residents.
