Overview
The Mai Bhago Vidya Scheme provides free bicycles to girl students in Punjab studying in classes 9 to 12. The official listing gives no last date, so check the official portal for the current status before applying. Apply offline through your school.
The Mai Bhago Vidya Scheme supports girls from economically weaker families in Punjab. It aims to help them continue their education beyond primary school.
Managed by the Department of Social Security and Development of Women and Children, this scheme provides essential transportation support.
By offering free bicycles, it encourages regular school attendance and reduces dropout rates among girl students.
This initiative is vital as many girls face challenges commuting to school due to distance and lack of affordable transport options.
