MLA Bhawna Bohra Free College Bus Service Expansion for Kui-Kukdur Forest Belt College Girls Pandariya

Pandariya MLA Bhawna Bohra has announced the expansion of her flagship Free College Bus Service to the remote Kui-Kukdur forest corridor (Vananchal) starting Monday, October 12, 2026. Connecting tribal villages including Amania, Neur, Kushiyari, Mahidabara, Damgarh, Ludhutola, Upka, Amera, and Kursikachhar directly to Government College Kui-Kukdur, the new extension builds upon an operational transport network that has already benefited over 1,500+ female college students across Pandariya.

In a major boost to higher education accessibility and girl student safety across remote tribal settlements, Pandariya MLA Bhawna Bohra has announced the expansion of her flagship Free College Bus Service (निःशुल्क बस सेवा) to the forested Kui-Kukdur (कुई-कुकदुर) sector starting Monday, October 12, 2026.

While the free college transit network is already operational across central Pandariya corridors—having safely transported over 1,500+ female college students—this new dedicated route bridges a critical transit gap for daughters residing in isolated Baiga and tribal forest fringe habitations.

Eliminating Commute Barriers for Vananchal Daughters

For families in the forested and hilly terrain of northern Kabirdham, commuting long distances to higher education centers has traditionally posed steep logistical and financial hurdles. Limited public bus timings, private transit costs, and safety concerns often forced rural families to discontinue daughters' studies after Class 12.

"Education is the strongest foundation for a daughter's self-reliance. In a large rural and forest constituency like Pandariya, there is no shortage of talent—what our daughters need are genuine opportunities and safe facilities. Under our 'Bhawna Didi Ki Guarantee' pledge, this free bus service ensures that no daughter in Vananchal is forced to drop out due to distance or lack of transport."
— Bhawna Bohra, MLA Pandariya
