Bhopal, July 10 || Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced a sweeping package of educational support during the 'Guru Purnima Mahotsav' in Bhopal, centred around improving access, equity, and digital empowerment for students across Madhya Pradesh.
At the heart of the Rs 195 crore initiative was the distribution of free bicycles to over 4.30 lakh students who travel more than two kilometres to attend school.
The launch was symbolised by the Chief Minister personally handing over 50 bicycles to students at Kamla Nehru Sandipani Girls School in Bhopal, marking a state-wide rollout of the MP Free Cycle Yojana.
Meritorious Class 12 students from government schools will now receive electric scooties, continuing a programme that benefited nearly 8,000 students last year.
"Next month, school toppers will also receive electric scooties. Those who secured more than 75 per cent marks have already been given laptops recently," the Chief Minister announced.
