Women's 'power' has not shrunk..!?

Women's 'Shakti' will be in the government bus right from the start. The expectation that there will be a gradual decline is completely false. women also visit various important temples and tourist spots of the state during the month of Ashadha. The women's journey continues even in the month of Adhika Shravana. Rest of the working class people are taking advantage of free bus travel. Even after two months of the start of the 'Shakti' scheme for women's free travel launched by the state government with the hope of women's empowerment, the enthusiasm of the women has not waned. "Initially there will be women 'Shakti' in the government bus. The expectation that there will be a gradual decline is completely false. women also visit various important temples and tourist spots of the state during the month of Ashadha. The women's journey continues even in the month of Adhika Shravana. Rest of the working class people are taking advantage of free bus travel.
As a result of women's movement, the Kalyana karnataka Road Transport Corporation, which was in the midst of financial difficulties, turned to profit. According to the sources of the department, for the first time in the history of the transport department, K.K.R.S.A. The total transport revenue of the corporation has exceeded .54 crores! In Bellary city, 1,39,978 women have traveled by transport bus while 74,776 men have traveled in last 9 days (from 1st Aug till date). After the start of the shakti Yojana, the number of female passengers traveling from Bellary section per day is 67,7456!
Since the launch of the 'Shakti' scheme on june 11, there has been no decrease in the number of women running. There is no possibility of decrease except in the order of increase in women's power day by day. Generally, the number of passengers in transport department buses is less during Ashadh month. Even after the implementation of the 'Shakti' scheme, buses are running full throughout the day. In the month of june, 9,40,111 women passengers traveled on the Bellary section and in July, 19,60,673 women traveled. In the month of june, the division received .3.77 crores in revenue and in July, .7.50 crores. The said amount has already been released by the government.

Before the introduction of free bus travel for women, a huge challenge was faced. 25 to 30 women boarded the bus from one town. I was worried about how to handle it. On the one hand, bus facilities should be provided for the students. On the other hand, allowing free movement of women seemed impossible. After the state government gave 40 new buses to the Bellary division, the pressure has come under control, says divisional coordinator B. Chamaraj. For the convenience of passengers, the earlier 388 schedules have been increased to 405. 15 new routes and 75 new trips have been launched. There is a shortage of 110 operators. 64 people have already been recruited by the agency. Chamaraj told 'Kannadaprabha' that 36 more people are to be appointed.

Before the 'Shakti' scheme, the number of women passengers per day has crossed 60,000 from 15,000. First on the bus. 70% men and 30% women were travelling. Now 50% women and Bellary Divisional Transport Officer Chamaraj said that 50% of men are traveling.
