2026 Is the Last Year of Scooter Distribution
While presenting the Assam budget for 2026-27 on 10 July 2026, Finance Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah said that nearly 18,000 students will receive scooters this year and that the scooter distribution program will be discontinued from the next academic session.
