Rajasthan Kali Bai Bheel Medhavi Chhatra Scooty Scheme 2025–26

The Kali Bai Bheel Medhavi Chhatra Scooty Scheme is a pioneering initiative by the Government of Rajasthan aimed at motivating meritorious girl students to pursue education and achieve academic excellence. Named in honor of Kali Bai Bheel, a brave woman from Dungarpur who dedicated her life to promoting education, this scheme recognizes the importance of facilitating education for girls in Rajasthan. The program is designed to encourage girl students to study in government and private schools from class 9th to class 12th, reward them for exceptional performance in board examinations, and provide practical support for higher education through the distribution of scooties, including an option for electric vehicles.

The scheme integrates and enhances existing state government scooter distribution programs, focusing on girl students from Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and minority communities, aiming to provide mobility, promote education, and reduce barriers to continued learning. Through this initiative, the government strives to inspire healthy competition, encourage academic achievements, and foster higher education enrollment among girls across Rajasthan.
