Chhattisgarh's helicopter ride scheme for students uncertain

Chhattisgarh's helicopter ride scheme for top students is uncertain under the new BJP government. While it hasn't been officially canceled, its implementation is delayed due to recent elections, with a proposal pending for later this year. The scheme, started in 2022 by former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, offers helicopter rides and financial aid to Class 10 and 12 toppers. The first group of 125 students received their rewards, but those who topped in 2023 are still waiting. The new government has not decided to end the program. A statement confirmed that the scheme's continuity was affected by the recent elections, but there are plans to resume it later this year.
