In a significant move towards promoting accessibility and easing the burden of transportation costs on students, the Punjab government has unveiled its much-anticipated Bike Scheme 2024. Spearheaded by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, this initiative is designed to provide 20,000 e-bikes to students across the region, focusing on affordability and convenience.

The scheme’s payment structure is straightforward and student-friendly, requiring a down payment of Rs 25,000 and ensuring that monthly installments remain below Rs 5,000. This approach not only addresses the challenges posed by escalating fuel and bike prices but also empowers students with a reliable means of daily commute.

Partnering with the Bank of Punjab, the government plans to roll out the distribution process through a draw scheduled for May 2024. Additionally, a separate scheme is in the works to cater specifically to high-achieving students, further enhancing accessibility and inclusivity.
