PM Modi EV Bicycles Viral Video: The Government of India runs various schemes for the poor, the destitute, women, and children, offering them numerous benefits. People have recently been hearing about one such scheme in which the Modi government is supposedly distributing electric bicycles to school-going children. But does such a scheme actually exist?

What is the whole story?

In fact, a video has been going viral on social media over the past few days. It shows PM Narendra Modi announcing a scheme under which the government would gift bicycles to school-going children. However, neither the government nor any news agency has previously mentioned such a scheme. Consequently, people are skeptical about the authenticity of this news.

What is the truth behind the news?

The government itself has now clarified the facts. The truth behind this viral claim was revealed through PIB Fact Check, a government agency. The video was shared via the official X (Twitter) account of PIB Fact Check, with the word 'Fake' clearly written across it.


The accompanying caption states: "A video shared by a Facebook page named 'GovtEdge' shows Prime Minister Narendra Modi stating that 'free electric bicycles' are being provided to all children for commuting to school. According to PIB Fact Check, this is a fake, AI-generated video. Neither the Central Government nor Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made any such announcement."

Be careful, stay alert

The agency further advised the public to remain vigilant, adding, "Stay alert." Do not fall for such tempting claims or share such videos. Rely only on the official website https://myscheme.gov.in for authentic information regarding the Central Government's public welfare schemes.
