Punjab Govt Confirms Electric Bikes for All Eligible Female Students

In a groundbreaking initiative to enhance student mobility, the Punjab Government has revamped its student bike scheme by ensuring that every qualifying female applicant receives an electric bike. This replaces the earlier balloting system with guaranteed allocations. The total number of bikes has also been expanded from 20,000 to 27,200 units, offering wider access across the province.

The decision is designed to address two major challenges simultaneously: safe, reliable, and affordable transportation, and higher retention rates for female students, particularly in smaller cities and rural areas. Additionally, the initiative supports Punjab’s environmental strategy by encouraging the adoption of low-emission electric vehicles.
