The Uttar Pradesh cabinet has green‑lit a new initiative that will hand out free scooters to meritorious girls studying in colleges across the state.
Under the scheme, only those students who secure a high academic rank and are currently enrolled in a recognised college will be eligible. The government has said that the scooters will be distributed through the state transport department in coordination with the respective colleges.
The move is aimed at easing daily commutes for young women and encouraging higher education by removing a key logistical hurdle. Officials have highlighted that the scooters will also help improve safety and reduce travel time for students.
Implementation is slated to begin in the next financial quarter, with a rollout plan that will cover major educational hubs in Uttar Pradesh. The scheme is part of the state’s broader push to support female education and empowerment.
