Over 4.30 lakh students received free bicycles in the current academic year 2025-26.

Launch of MP Free Cycle Yojana
CM Mohan Yadav announced a sweeping package of educational support during the Guru Purnima Mahotsav in Bhopal, centred around improving access, equity, and digital empowerment for students across the scheme. At the heart of the Rs. 195 crore initiative was the distribution of free bicycles to over 4.30 lakh students who travel more than two kilometres to attend school. The launch was symbolised by the Chief Minister personally handing over 50 bicycles to students at Kamla Nehru Sandipani Girls School in Bhopal, marking a state-wide rollout of the MP Free Cycle Yojana.
“Meritorious Class 12 students from government schools will now receive electric scooties, continuing a programme that benefited nearly 8,000 students last year. Next month, school toppers will also receive electric scooties under MP Scooty Yojana. Those who secured more than 75% marks have already been given laptops recently under MP Laptop Yojana,” the Chief Minister announced.
CM Yadav also unveiled a series of new commitments aimed at bolstering academic opportunities. In a fresh promise of educational inclusivity, the chief minister said, “Meritorious students will also get financial assistance for private medical colleges. Students who clear the NEET exam but fail to gain admission to prestigious government colleges will have their tuition fees fully paid by the government, even if the cost reaches Rs 70 or Rs 80 lakh, or whatever amount, if they gain admission to private medical colleges. A student from an economically weaker family must not be deprived of medical education.”
Earlier in July 2025, nearly one lakh students who scored above 75% in Class 12 received Rs. 25,000 each to purchase laptops. Starting next year, the laptops will be distributed directly, reinforcing the government’s commitment to digital literacy. The number of such students stood at 94,000. “With transportation, tuition, infrastructure, and digital tools now part of a broader education framework, the state is laying the groundwork for a more inclusive and opportunity-rich future for its youth,” CM said.
