Details
The Rajasthan government is helping bright girls from weaker economic backgrounds achieve mobility and independence. The 'Free Scooty Distribution for Girls' scheme is designed to support talented female students who have performed exceptionally well in their board exams.
Launched by the Secondary Education Department of Rajasthan in 2017-18, this scheme aims to reward meritorious girl students from the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) of the General Category. The goal is to encourage them to continue their education and gain easy access to opportunities by providing them with a free scooty, a helmet, and some petrol to start with.
This scheme is specifically for girl students who are residents of Rajasthan. They must belong to the General Category and fall under the Economically Weaker Section. Academic excellence is key, as applicants need to have secured at least 85% marks in either their Class 10th or 12th board examinations. Importantly, their family's annual income should not exceed ₹2,50,000.
By providing a scooty, the scheme helps these young women travel easily to their schools, colleges, or coaching centers, especially if they live far away. This increased mobility can open up more educational and career prospects. It also acknowledges their hard work and dedication in achieving high marks, thereby motivating them and others to excel academically.
