Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti launched the “Scooty for College Girls Scheme”.
College going girl students will be given a 50 per cent subsidy on purchase of a Scooty.
Under this scheme, 312 applications were received from Women’s College Gandhi Nagar but only 150 were selected.
Eligibility for a Scooty was based on minimum percentage and the annual family income of 65 per cent and Rs.4 lakh respectively.
Mufti distributed Scooties at two colleges for women, Women’s College Parade and Women’s College Gandhi Nagar. Both colleges have been allotted 150 scooties each.
