What this scheme offers
Announced in the March 2026 Delhi budget alongside a raft of pro-women measures, this scheme gives a free bicycle to every girl in Class 9 at a Delhi government school — with ₹90 crore allocated to reach an estimated 1.30 lakh students. It follows the same logic several other states have applied to similar bicycle schemes: Class 9 is often where the daily commute to a farther secondary school becomes a genuine barrier for girls, and removing that cost directly targets the point where dropout risk rises.
Who is eligible
- Girl student enrolled in Class 9 at a Delhi government school.
- No income restriction — universal for eligible enrolled students.
Documents required
- School enrollment record (maintained by the school)
How to apply
- No individual application is typically needed — schools compile the list of eligible Class 9 girl students.
- Confirm with your school administration that you're on the eligible list for the current academic year.
- Bicycles are distributed through the school once the government's distribution round for your school reaches your area.
- If you believe you're eligible but haven't received your cycle, raise it with your school's principal or the Directorate of Education.
