BRCs fail to deliver, no bicycles for students

The distribution of bicycles to 6th and 9th-class students in government schools has been severely delayed, with Block Resource Coordinators (BRCs) lagging behind in their responsibilities. Despite the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) sanctioning the cycles and allocating them to each district, only 2.48% of the cycles for 6th-class students and 4.6% for 9th-class students have been distributed across the state.

The BRCs, who are responsible for distributing these cycles at the local level, have been unable to keep up with the process.

According to DPI's official data as of October 9, a total of 18,506 bicycles have been distributed - 3,856 for 6th class students and 14,650 for 9th class students. A total of 474,194 bicycles have been distributed under the scheme, leaving 455,688 cycles yet to reach students.
