Uttar Pradesh Launches Free Bus Travel for Senior Women

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched Lokmata Ahilyabai Matrushakti Yatra. This scheme gives women aged 60 and older free travel in state-run buses for life. It helps older women travel easily and live more independently. Officials expect about 88,438 women to use this service every day.

Travel and transport support

Eligible women will get smart cards for an easy travel experience. Also, the government will give scooters to 50,000 female undergraduate students between October and November 2026. These efforts help improve women safety and participation in the economy. They work alongside current programs like Mukhyamantri Kanya Sumangala Yojana, Ujjwala, and Jal Jeevan Mission.
