Sialkot’s local leaders have launched an exciting program. They plan to give free electric bikes to female teachers. This helps them travel to work easily and safely.
The idea comes from Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. She wants to make life better for women who teach. Deputy Commissioner Saba Asghar Ali shared this news. She explained how the program fits into a bigger goal for women’s safety.
Local businesses join in too. They donate to make this happen. Everyone works together to support teachers.
Teachers started applying earlier this month. Over 650 women have sent in their forms already. The last day to apply was August 10.
Who can get these bikes? Teachers up to 35 years old qualify. Both full-time and part-time workers can try. The program gives extra chances to widows, divorced women, and those who support their families alone.
Officials use a computer draw to pick winners. This keeps everything fair and clear.
These e-bikes solve big problems for teachers. Many face long walks or unsafe rides to school. Now, they can zip to work quickly.
The bikes run on electricity. This means less smoke in the air. Sialkot gets cleaner, and everyone breathes easier.
Women feel more independent. They save time and energy. This lets them focus on teaching kids better.
During Independence Day, leaders gave e-bikes to 14 teachers. Donors helped make it special. Teachers smiled as they rode away.
Officials say more bikes will come soon. The program grows with community help. It shows how small steps lead to big changes.
This initiative inspires other areas. Women everywhere might get similar support.
Female teachers play a key role in schools. They shape young minds. But travel issues hold them back.
Free e-bikes change that. Teachers arrive fresh and ready. Kids learn more from happy educators.
The program also fights pollution. Electric bikes use clean power. Sialkot leads the way in green living.
In the end, this effort builds a stronger community. Women thrive, and society wins.
