India, Govt. had been funding with the help of Ministry of Non-conventional energy sources(MNES) to design and develop more safe and economic variety of E-rickshaws since 2000 till date. The present study on E- rickshaw is made to know role of E- rickshaws in passenger movement in Lanka town and its hinder lanes. Drivers of para transit was interviewed to know their socio-economic status and how it provide employment to poor literate in habitant of Lanka to serve their family livelihood.
