Divya Delhi : The Gujarat government has expanded its transportation network for tribal students by introducing 139 new buses to improve access to education in remote and tribal regions across the state. The initiative aims to ensure that students can travel safely and conveniently to schools and colleges, reducing transportation barriers that often contribute to absenteeism and dropout rates. The newly added buses will operate across tribal districts, connecting villages with educational institutions. The move is part of the state’s ongoing efforts to strengthen educational infrastructure and promote inclusive development among tribal communities. Officials said the expanded fleet is expected to benefit thousands of students who previously faced long and difficult commutes. By providing reliable transport, the government hopes to encourage higher enrollment, improve attendance, and create better educational opportunities for tribal youth. The initiative also aligns with Gujarat’s broader focus on enhancing public services and supporting socio-economic development in underserved areas. Authorities have stated that the transport network will continue to be monitored and expanded based on student demand and regional requirements.
