Months back, we informed you that the Punjab government has launched a e-bike program for students across the province. Among the others, this program aimed at empowering youth, promoting sustainability, and improving access to education.

In a recent update, the government has started distribution of electric bike among the students. For this purpose, the provincial government arranged an inauguration ceremony. The centerpiece of the event was the inauguration of the Chief Minister’s Youth Initiative “E-bike program.”

The Details

Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz kicked off the “Chief Minister’s Youth Initiative E-bike program,” making electric bikes more accessible to students by covering half the down payment (Rs. 20,000 of a Rs. 40,000 cost). This eco-friendly move also saw over 8,000 female students getting two-wheeled thumbs up – they’ll all receive e-bikes!

Get ready for cleaner air, Punjab! The government is transitioning to electric vehicles. The launch event itself saw the introduction of the Vehicle Inspection Regime for Private Vehicle Project and awarding the first license for manufacturing e-loader rickshaws to Nawawa Mobilizers Company.

The Green Technology

This green wave doesn’t stop there – colleges and universities will soon have solar powered charging stations for e-bikes (phase 2 of the E-bike project), making the program even more sustainable.  An MoU has also been signed for acquiring environment-friendly buses, with the first batch arriving by December.

The Chief Minister also addressed issues related to smog and environmental pollution, noting that Senior Minister Maryum Aurangzeb is actively working to combat these problems. In addition, she inspected electric loader rickshaws and E-road washer vehicles, receiving briefings on their features and the broader electric buses project.

The focus shifted to bridging the digital divide. The CM stressed the importance of fast internet for e-commerce and freelance job opportunities. They’re aiming for equal access in rural and urban areas, with plans to expand free Wi-Fi beyond Lahore.
