Abstract :

 

The Free Bicycle Scheme was launched by the government of Karnataka with the aim of addressing the commutation  problems of girl students. It aimed at improving their attendance in schools. Later, boys were included too. In fact, the scheme was launched for girl students living in rural areas as they were finding it difficult to commute to their schools; this was resulting in their dropping out. Children studying in classes VIII and IX in government and aided high schools in the State will have fewer excuses to skip classes this year. The scheme of free bicycles started in the year 2006–07 aiming to facilitate transport of students for rural and hilly regions. The target groups were girl students enrolled to class 8th in Government and Government aided schools. Girl students having bus pass and hostel facility were excluded from the scheme.Bicycle distribution scheme was extended to 8th standard girls from families of below poverty line in the city corporation limit and also to boys from the year 2007–08.The present study attempted to assess the Free Bicycle Scheme for students by the Government of Karnataka.
