There is a wonderful and very good news for the meritorious girl students studying in the government universities and degree colleges of Uttar Pradesh. Yogi Adityanath government of the state has increased the pace of ‘Rani Lakshmi Bai Scooty Scheme’ to implement its election promise. In the first phase of this ambitious scheme, preparations are being made to give free scooties to about 45 thousand meritorious girl students of the state.
Just before the upcoming assembly elections, the process of determining the eligibility and merit to implement this scheme has started. On Wednesday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath himself held an important review meeting with top officials of the Higher Education Department and gave strict instructions to the officials regarding the delay in work.
CM Yogi reprimanded the officers; Instructions to make guidelines soon
During the high level meeting held at Lok Bhawan, when Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath asked about the eligibility, rules and outline prepared so far for the distribution of scooters, the officials said that the final rules and draft on this have not been fully prepared yet.
The Chief Minister expressed strong displeasure over this laxity of the officials. CM Yogi directed in a strict tone that the guidelines and eligibility rules should be determined as soon as possible without any delay, so that the work on the next phase of the scheme can start. The Chief Minister clearly said that by making the entire process transparent and quick, distribution of scooties to meritorious girl students should be ensured as soon as possible.
Huge budget of ₹400 crore approved for the first phase
After the tough stance of the Chief Minister, now the Higher Education Department has started working on war footing to decide the criteria of merit for distribution of free scooty.
Budget: The state government has already taken steps for the smooth operation of this scheme. Huge budget of Rs 400 crore Has been approved.
Beneficiary: According to the assessment of the Education Department, through this allocated budget, in the first phase, about 45,000 most meritorious girl students of the state can be given free scooties. However, the final seal on the final number of beneficiaries will be given by the government level only.
Brainstorming continues on merit scale
The department is seriously deliberating whether the selection of girl students should be done on the basis of first year marks in Undergraduate (UG) and Postgraduate (PG) classes or on the basis of final year examination results. Its rules will be made public soon.
Lucky meritorious students will be selected from among 9 lakh girl students
According to the current data, at the graduation level in various government and aided higher educational institutions of Uttar Pradesh, about 9 lakh girl students Are enrolled. From the data of all these girl students, the lucky meritorious ones will be selected only through strict screening and state level merit list.
Main objectives of the scheme: The main objective of this scheme of Yogi government is not only to encourage and promote daughters for higher education, but also to make them self-reliant, dynamic and safe in their journey to and from college. As soon as the final draft gets the green signal from the government, the department will officially start the work of collecting data through online applications and colleges.
