New Delhi: The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has issued a draft notification for the accreditation of driver training centres. This means that a person who completes driver training from such centers will not be required to undergo a driving test while applying for a licence.

According to the Ministry, this will also help the transport industry to have specially-trained drivers, which will improve their efficiency and reduce road accidents.

To impart quality driver training to the citizens, the Ministry has proposed detailed requirements to be met and procedures to be followed by such centres, The Indian Express (TIE) reported quoting an official release.

The draft notification, dated January 29, 2021, has been uploaded on the official website of the ministry for public consultation and will be formally issued after this stage.

The notification comes as the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is celebrating Road Safety Month from January 18 to February 17, 2021 instead of the National Road Safety Week, which is observed from January 11-17 every year.
