Bhopal:The distribution of the bicycles to the students studying in the class 6 has not even started in the eighteen districts. In Pana and in Umaria only one percent students of class 9 have got the bicycles. The scheme launched by ex-CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan is far behind in fulfilling its objectives although the academic session will come to an end in three months. The state government had amended the provisions to provide the bicycles to eligible students enrolled in classes 6 and 9.

The benefit under the scheme is available to students, of all the sections, who belong to place where secondary education is not available. The bicycle is to help them to travel to other village /city to pursue further studies. Last year 1.98 lakh girls got the benefit of this scheme, earlier the scheme was only for the girls. In the current year the outgoing BJP lead government amended the scheme and extended the scheme to the boys students.

After the amendment 2,37,350 students were found eligible to get bicycle. However, till Monday bicycles have been given to only 1,42,534 students. According to norms the distribution of the cycles shall be done on the very first day of the academic session and the distribution has to be completed by August 15.

But the outgoing government placed the order to purchase bicycles in the month of September and around 90,000 students are still waiting to get bicycle. Commissioner public instructions Jaishree Kiyawat blames the elections for the delays, “The distribution of the bicycles is delayed because of election Model Code of Conduct. Now after the elections we have started monitoring the distribution on daily basis”.
