Sialkot Government Launches Free Electric Bikes Program for Female Teachers

In a major step toward women empowerment and sustainable mobility, the Sialkot government has announced the distribution of free electric bikes for female teachers. The initiative, supported by the local business community, aims to improve daily commuting facilities for women educators while promoting clean energy transportation in Punjab.
Aligned with Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s Vision
Deputy Commissioner Saba Asghar Ali stated that the scheme is part of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s women empowerment projects, ensuring safer and more convenient travel for female teachers across the region. The program is also expected to inspire other districts in Punjab to adopt similar measures for women’s mobility.
Application Process and Eligibility
Applications for the Sialkot female teachers e-bike scheme opened earlier this month and received over 650 submissions before the August 10 deadline.
Key eligibility requirements included:
- Applicants must be under 35 years of age
- Open to both permanent and contract teachers
- Widows, divorced women, and sole breadwinners were given preference
This inclusive approach ensures that the program supports women facing the most pressing commuting challenges.
Transparent Distribution Through Balloting
To maintain fairness, the distribution of free e-bikes in Punjab will be conducted via a computerized ballot system. Earlier this month, during Independence Day celebrations, 14 female teachers were already provided with e-bikes through assistance from donors—marking the beginning of the program.
Promoting Clean Energy and Reducing Pollution
Officials highlighted that the initiative is not only about easing the commute of women educators but also about supporting Pakistan’s clean energy transport goals. By encouraging the use of eco-friendly electric bikes, the program aims to cut down on fuel consumption and reduce environmental pollution in Punjab.
