It was a random revelation by a young woman at the re-dedication day of AP government, a few months ago, that was the trigger for this program. The woman said that the earlier TDP government had taken up distribution of bicycles to girl students in 2003, which enabled her to complete her school and college. Touched by her statement, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu immediately took up the initia - tive once again and approved the scheme. As many as 1,81,556 cycles were distributed now to Class IX students of 5,628 schools including 246 government schools, 4,432 ZP schools, 319 municipal schools, 471 aided schools and 160 model schools at a cost of Rs 74.93 crore. In rural and tribal and even urban areas, owing to lack of transport facilities many girl students from lower middle class and poor families were dropping out. Giving them bicycles would help reach schools in time and improve their health by providing physical exercise. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said that girls would do better than boys in education given the necessary support and encouragement. v Downloaded from http://smartprep.in C O N T E N T S Kia Motors to invest Rs.7,000 cr in AP Making people partners in 20 10 development Construction of the new manufacturing facility, Kia Motors’ first in India, will commence in the final quarter of 2017.
