Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has approved the launch of the Punjab Bike Program for Punjab students. The most surprising and beneficial thing is that this regulation has no interest. This is one of the first ideas students can use to improve their travel destination. Such a program has never been done in Punjab before. This measure reflects the government’s commitment to student education.

Distribution of 20000 free bikes
Per the policy, 20,000 motorcycles will be distributed to students in Punjab. These include 19,000 gasoline bicycles and 1,000 electric bicycles. The distribution of motorcycles was planned according to urban and rural areas to ensure justice.
| Distribution of Bikes | Quantity | Distribution Ratio |
| Gasoline Bicycles | 19,000 | Urban: 50% Men, 50% Women Rural: 70% Men, 30% Women |
| Electric Bicycles | 1,000 | Urban: 50% Men, 50% Women Rural: 70% Men, 30% Women |
Distribution in Urban and rural areas
If we talk about urban and rural quotas, this ratio will be 50% for men and 50% for women to promote gender equality in urban areas. However, something has changed here in rural areas, where 70 percent of men and 30 percent of women will benefit from this program.
Eligibility Criteria
It is too early to discuss eligibility as the registration process has yet to start. Once the registration process begins, we will learn the necessary procedures, including registration conditions and required documents. The registration process will start soon; you will see all the details.
Registration process to be started just before Eid
The allocation process will be transparent and fair, providing equal opportunities for women and men. After registration, a draw will be held in May 2024, and the lucky student will be given a motorcycle. According to the special instructions of the Chief Minister of Punjab, the registration process will start just before Eid-al-Fitr.
Conclusion
The Punjab Bicycle Project is nothing but a gift to Punjabi students. The plan will help reduce transportation costs for male and female students. If we think further, the number of e-bikes will increase even more, but this regulation is still nothing more than a giveaway. This plan attracted the attention of professional bodies and was considered a welcome move. A larger version is expected to be released in the future. In this article, you will find all the details about the program. I hope the information provided helps you.
