Rajasthan government has restricted the free cycle scheme to only families covered under the National Food Security Act. This move will deprive around 90,000 girl students of the benefit.
The Rajasthan government has made a significant change to its free cycle scheme for girl students in government schools. The scheme, which was earlier available to all girl students in class 9, will now only be applicable to those from families covered under the National Food Security Act. This decision is expected to affect around 90,000 girl students who will no longer be eligible for the free cycles. The move has been criticized by the opposition, with former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot questioning the government's decision.
