Gujarat: Teachers Awarded Lifetime Free Bus Travel
The Chief Minister of Gujarat, Bhupendra Patel, has given a special gift to teachers.
Teachers who have won the Best Teacher Award at the state and national level will now get to travel for free for the rest of their lives on any bus run by the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation.
This decision was made because the teachers' union asked for it.
This free travel benefit is currently available to nearly a thousand teachers who have already won awards, and any teacher who wins the award in the future will also get this benefit.
This is a way to show appreciation for the hard work of teachers.
Gujarat's Chief Minister announced free lifetime bus travel for award-winning teachers.
The decision covers all routes of the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation.
Benefit is for state and national Best Teacher Award recipients.
Around 957 teachers currently qualify for this benefit.
Future awardees will also be entitled to the free travel.
