Prime Minister launched the subsidised scooter scheme for working women on the occasion of the 70th birth anniversary celebrations of late Tamil Nadu leader J Jayalalithaa.
As part of the scheme, every beneficiary will be given 50% of the cost of a two- wheeler or a grant of 25,000.
Each year, one lakh working women would be covered.
This Amma two-wheeler scheme was a pet project of Jayalalithaa which was proposed by her in the election manifesto.
