Abstract
An E Rickshaw vehicle is the boon to the common man. Overall, India is the home of 1.5 million battery operated electric rickshaw, catering to over 60 million commuters users every day especially in and around metro routes and highly populated pockets. The Electric Rickshaw is also known as ‘Tuuk Tuuki’ or ‘Toto’or Battery Rickshaw at different name in different places. The three wheeled battery operated Electric Rickshaw or E Rickshaw has emerged in public road transport in Malda district of West Bengal like many parts of the country recently 4 5 years ago. The E Rickshaw is environment friendly and has the potential to reduce the carbon foot print due to passenger transport system. This paper is an attempt to assessment the socio economic strength of the E Rickshaw drivers, to know the health status of the E Rickshaw drivers and to know the problems faced by the E Rickshaw drivers in the study area. The Malda district of West Bengal has been selected as the study area, known as Gateway of North Bengal, famous for mango and raw silk production. The entire research work is based on both primary and secondary sources of data.

The researchers suggested that Central as well as State Government should given the subsidized loan from public and private sector banks and other financial institution for buying the new E Rickshaw the study area. The E Rickshaw has the potential to reduce the fuel oil consumption for passenger transportation which may lead to both economic and environmental benefit.
