Vidya Vahini scheme: CM distributes bicycles to 3,000 students
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta launched the Vidya Vahini scheme, distributing bicycles to over 3,000 Class 9 girl students in Delhi government schools.
Around 140,000 Class 9 girl students in Delhi government schools will receive free bicycles in phases under the scheme.
The scheme aims to improve access to education, reduce dropout rates, and ensure safer travel to school.
The initiative aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of women-led development, according to Gupta.
Education Minister Ashish Sood said the scheme removes commuting barriers for girls after Class 9, encouraging them to continue their education.
