Delhi is taking a bold step towards empowering women under the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. In a recent event in R K Puram, Gupta announced the 'Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana', focusing on the safety and education of women as a top priority for her government.

Highlighting her commitment, Gupta mentioned the new initiative involves distributing cycles to families, aiding fuel-saving efforts nationwide. She sees these cycles as a practical tool to facilitate better mobility and empowerment for daughters and sisters in Delhi.

The planning is already in motion, with tenders for providing free cycles to female students being released, signaling a tangible step towards realizing the vision of a more inclusive and supportive environment for young girls in Delhi.
