The announcement was made by Maharashtra education minister Vinod Tawde, during a media interaction organised by a Marathi news channel.
"In our days, they used to say you will get a cycle if you score 35 per cent marks. I will give a cycle to him," the minister said.
Asked if the state government will give the cycle to the 10th pass student, Tawde said "Ok, lets give him a cycle. So that what I heard (in the old days) seems true."
He is being congratulated on the social media and on social networking websites.
