Haryana Government has decided to provide free travel facility in Haryana Roadways buses to girl students in schools, colleges and institutions.
Free passes would be issued to all girl students of Haryana studying in various schools, colleges and institutions situated in the state which are recognised by the state government or are affiliated with any University or Board in the state.
Transport Minister Aftab Ahmed said in an official release that educational centres, coaching centres, study centres, distance learning centres and franchise centres affiliated with universities of other states and are not recognised by the Haryana Government will not be covered under this policy.
The passes will be issued up to a maximum limit of 60 km on half yearly basis on the recommendation of the authorities of the school, or college or institution.
The concerned school or college or institution will supply to the concerned Depot of Haryana Roadways a list of girl students along with an attested copy of the recognition or affiliation certificate issued by the competent authority.
The passes will be issued by the respective General Manager or an officer designated by him as per the list supplied by the school, college or institution, he said.
The General Managers concerned of Haryana Roadways will maintain a record of the passes issued to the girl students so as to get the financial implications reimbursed from the concerned beneficiary department, Ahmed said.
