In Malout, hope and opportunity came alive for fifteen needy families when Cabinet Minister Dr. Baljit Kaur handed over e-rickshaws, giving them both a livelihood and a path toward self-reliance. The gesture, simple yet powerful, reflected the Punjab Government’s determination to stand beside the working class and help them overcome long-standing economic challenges.
The families who received the vehicles expressed heartfelt gratitude to Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and Dr. Baljit Kaur. Many shared that they had previously struggled without stable income, but with this support they could now provide for their families with dignity. For them, the initiative was more than financial aid—it was the gift of renewed confidence and courage.
The Mann Government has repeatedly emphasized that true development begins with empowering those at the bottom of the economic ladder. This scheme demonstrates that philosophy in action, proving that the administration is not confined to making promises but is delivering meaningful solutions. By focusing on poor and working-class households, the government has underlined its belief that real progress is measured by how it uplifts the most vulnerable.
Dr. Baljit Kaur explained that the larger vision behind this initiative is to eradicate poverty and unemployment from Punjab. By ensuring every struggling family gets the chance to stand on its own feet, the government hopes to create a society where no one is left helpless. The e-rickshaw scheme is a practical step toward achieving this dream, bringing with it both income security and social respect for beneficiaries.
An added strength of the program is its alignment with environmental goals. E-rickshaws produce no pollution and shield users from ever-rising fuel costs. Thus, while generating employment, the government is also promoting clean and sustainable transport. It is a model that combines economic upliftment with ecological responsibility, paving the way for long-term development.
At the distribution ceremony, Dr. Baljit Kaur assured that more such schemes will continue to reach the poor and working sections of society. By striving to make every citizen self-reliant and empowered, the Mann Government has earned recognition as a people’s government—one that works tirelessly for the welfare of all.
