India’s Minister for Road Transport, Nitin Gadkari, has called on the auto industry to invest in driver training centers to address the country’s severe shortage of 22 lakh drivers. Gadkari emphasized the need for formal training to enhance road safety, as many drivers currently learn informally. He urged automobile manufacturers to establish training centers certified by the Ministry of Skill Development. The minister also highlighted the importance of the industry’s contribution to medical emergency services for road crash victims. The move aims to improve road safety and address the persistent challenge of driver scarcity in India.
