In addition to launching hybrid bus services in the province’s largest cities, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif presided over a meeting where it was decided to give bikes to the students on flexible payment plans.
The quota for males and females
The application process has now begun, and here’s how it goes: for those living in towns or cities, 50% of the positions are reserved for males while 50% are for females, making it fair for everyone to have an equal opportunity. In contrast, if one is a resident of a village, then 70% of the spots go to boys and 30% to girls.
Currently, there is a quick way of applying – an online portal where you can enter your details in an application form. With this development, no matter which part of the country you come from or whether you’re male or female, you can get a chance to apply and be admitted into the program and pursue studies at all!
Interest-free Bikes
PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif proposed during the meeting that the Punjab government give away 20,000 motorbikes—both petrol and electric—to students in manageable installments. According to him, the government should cover the interest and a portion of the student’s costs. Maryam Nawaz supported the idea and announced that the government of Punjab would provide students with 19,000 gasoline and 1,000 electric bikes on a simple interest-free payment plan. Students in Punjab who have a valid driver’s license will receive bikes thanks to a partnership with the Bank of Punjab.
| Quota Allocation | Town/City Residents | Village Residents |
| Male Students | 50% | 70% |
| Female Students | 50% | 30% |
Conclusion
For Punjab students, the Punjab Bikes Scheme is similar to a gift. Both male and female students’ travel costs will be reduced by this program. This program still qualifies as a gift even though additional research suggests that there may have been more electric bikes. Higher authorities view the scheme favorably and consider it a welcome initiative. Most likely, a larger-scale initiative will be launched shortly.
