By providing electric auto-rickshaws at subsidized rates, with Lions Clubs covering 10% of the cost and facilitating bank loans, the program enables women to build sustainable livelihoods. Fifteen drivers have already started their journeys of economic independence, with the program aiming to support 100 women. Beyond individual benefits, these electric vehicles contribute to cleaner city air.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-f749fcb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f749fcb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-0000a3d\" data-id=\"0000a3d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22b480a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"22b480a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This focus on mobility extends to the next generation through the \u2018Her Cycle\u2019 initiative.
