As a gratitude to India on completing 25 glorious years in the Indian car market, Maruti Suzuki unveils the National Road Safety Mission programme. Maruti feels that this is only a small way to thank India for constant support throughout its journey.
The mission is attributed to impart driving training to about 5 Lakh people in the next three years. The company lays emphasis on training the underprivileged section of the society. Out of the 5 Lakh trainers, about 1 Lakh trainers are to be from the weaker section, people who are actually keen to take up driving as their profession.
The existing two Institutes of Driving Training and Research (IDTRs) and 47 Maruti Driving Schools will be utilized to train learners. Designed with all the elements of a good and social responsibilities, the company desires to benefit the society both in terms of social welfare and financial gains with this programme.
The mission introduced by the Maruti may motivate other car manufacturers to adopt a similar approach. If this happens, then Indian roads would become the safest place to drive.
This is really a good move taken by the company. Till what I know only Maruti has its own driving schol in the country. Even I have learnt driving from a Maruti authorized driving school in Delhi.
As what I know apart from Maruti even Chevrolet have their own driving schools in many cities. Doesnt it?
