myScheme’s own wording, reproduced in full. Where it is thin, that is the finding, and the completeness checks are below.

What this is

Under this scheme, the goal is to support girls from economically weaker families by providing assistance for transportation, enabling regular school attendance.

In detail

Mai Bhago Vidya Scheme aims to ensure that girl students continue their education beyond the primary level by promoting enrolment and reducing dropout rates at the senior secondary and higher secondary levels. The scheme is named after Mai Bhago, one of the bravest Sikh women warriors, who led Sikh soldiers against the Mughals in 1705 and emerged as a hero of the battle for her courage and leadership.

In Punjab, many girls discontinue their education after the 8th standard because schools are located far from their homes. Due to the lack of affordable transportation, it becomes difficult for them to commute to school, as most families in rural areas cannot afford vehicles or bicycles for their daughters. The Mai Bhago Vidya Scheme supports such school-going girls by providing assistance to help them continue their education.

Who qualifies

Girl students should be residents of Punjab state.
Girl students should be studying in standards 9th,10th, 11th, and 12th in the government school.
Girl students should belong to those below the poverty line (BPL).

What you get

Free bicycles are provided to all girl students of 9th to 12th classes.
