FREE TRANSPORT FACILITIES FOR GIRLS STUDENTS OF RURAL AREAS (Rs. 100.00 lac)
OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHEME
The objective of this ongoing scheme is to encourage girls students of rural areas to pursue their studies by providing them free transport facilities.
NEED AND JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SCHEME :
Some 20 years back, schools were not available for girls in each village. Girls from such villages had to travel to other villages to pursue their studies. To promote education among girls in villages which does not have their own schools, buses were provided by Dte. of Education from village to school and back. Initially, private buses were engaged to transport girls from villages to school and back. It was felt that service rendered by private operators was not commensurate with cost charged by them., Hence, DTC buses were engaged during last two years. DTC, too proved costly as it charged from de-port to school or village and back. The transport facility was availed by seven villages in North West (A)- 5 villages, North West (B)-1 village and South West (B)-1 village. The girls who availed transport facility in these villages are around 3,000. Government has to spend Rs. 80-90 lakhs on these girls. It was noted that around Rs. 3,000/- was spent per girl student annually by the government. The benefit was taken repeatedly by same group of girls except addition of few new entrants.
In the Plan Review meeting, it was noted that scheme was not cost effective. Various alternative options were considered. It was noted that now schools have come up in almost all the villages or are available at a maximum distance of 3 to 5 km. It was considered appropriate that the bicycles are provided to girl students of those villages which does not have school.
The new schemes has two benefits:-
That government does not have to incur expenditure on same child every year but would provide cycle subsidy @ Rs. 1000/- once in a school life of a girl child. Quantum of expenditure on the scheme would get reduced in subsequent years as subsidy shall be given to only fresh entrants.
It is eco-friendly and promote physical fitness.
