Discontinuation of Free Scooty Scheme

The Assam government, in the Budget for 2026-27, proposed to discontinue the distribution of scooters to meritorious students from the next academic year. This year, around 18,000 students will be eligible to get scooters under Dr. Banikanta Kakati Merit Award.

“To ensure equitable distribution of educational support, so that a larger number of deserving students benefit instead of assistance being confined to a single percentage cut-off, the existing distribution of scooters under this scheme shall discontinue from the next academic year,” Finance Minister Jayanta Mallabaruah said in the Assam Assembly while presenting the full Budget for 2026-27.

The resources thus made available will be utilised in strengthening and expanding Nijut Moina and Nijut Babu schemes, he said.
