JAIPUR: Bharatiya Janata Party assembly member Phool Singh Meena started an initiative of air travel for tribal girl students who topped in government schools in his constituency, inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign.

The initiative that began with three girls in the first trip in 2014 has spurred girls in Rajasthan's tribal areas to focus on their education. This year, 57 girl students who topped class 10 and class 12 exams in Meena's constituency, Udaipur Rural, were selected to travel by air to Jaipur.

Last week, 30 of the girl students came for the first time to Jaipur by air. Meena bore the cost of 4.5 lakh for the girls' air trip and travel in Jaipur. "There were 57 students selected but since we could not get tickets for all, I will bring the remaining students in the first week of June," he said.
