Record-Breaking Registrations
According to the Punjab government’s official announcement:
- 1.3 million+ young people registered — the highest for any Punjab government scheme
- 607,000+ complete applications submitted
- CM Maryam Nawaz has directed authorities to complete all remaining work at the earliest
The sheer response shows how badly students needed affordable transport — and how much trust the scheme has earned.
100,000 E-Bikes Through Balloting
A total of 100,000 e-bikes will be distributed through a transparent balloting (lucky draw) process. Successful applicants will pay just Rs 3,000 per month in easy installments — and the Punjab government will bear the entire interest cost. Students only repay the bike’s actual price, with zero markup burden.
Free Driving Training for Women
The standout announcement this time: on the Chief Minister’s direct instructions, successful female applicants will receive free driving training. The goal is to help female students travel safely and conveniently to their educational institutions.
“Every son and daughter of Punjab is very special to me,” the Chief Minister said, adding that e-bikes would not only make commuting easier for female students but also help them save on monthly transport expenses.
This is especially meaningful for girls travelling long distances for education — no more waiting for buses or paying high fares.
