In an ongoing endeavour to enhance women’s abilities and enable them to become self-sufficient, Uttar Pradesh government is preparing to arrange training programmes for the state’s second and third batches of female roadway bus drivers.
“During Shardiya Navratri, CM Yogi Adityanath handed over the command of the Transport Corporation buses to the women in Ayodhya. Subsequently, efforts are underway to expedite their empowerment and development. The training of the first batch of women started on March 8, 2021,” according to a press release from the Chief Minister’s office.
The Model Driving Training and Research Institute in Kanpur will train the second and third batches of female drivers. Both the Level 3 and Level 4 courses for commercial vehicle drivers and light motor vehicle drivers will provide training for female drivers.
“According to SP Singh, principal of the training institute, the training duration of the Light Motor Vehicle Driver Level-3 course will be 344 hours (three months). After this, the assessment will be done through the Sector Skill Council, ASDC Delhi, as determined by the Skill Development Mission,” the release stated.
The Commercial Vehicle Driver Level 4 course will require 400 hours of training, or four months, of study for qualified candidates. The two courses will be followed by 17 months of training in the depot.
A monthly stipend of Rs 6,000 will be given to the candidates during the training. For the duration of both training courses, candidates enrolled in this residential course must reside in the provided hostel. Meals and lodging will be offered at no cost.
