    Haryana Transport Minister Shri Anil Vij said that over 11 acres of land at Shahpur, Ambala Cantonment, has been officially registered in the name of the Transport Department for the establishment of a Driving Training & Research Institute (IDTR) and an Automated Vehicle Testing Station (ATS). He further informed that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a major transport company, Ashok Leyland, is likely to be signed within the next week. Sh. Vij said that aspiring drivers often had to travel long distances to receive mandatory training required for obtaining driving licences. To address this issue, the government has initiated the establishment of a modern Driving Training & Research Institute in Ambala Cantonment. More than 11 acres of land have been identified and registered for this purpose at Shahpur.He added that vehicle fitness testing will also be carried out at the same location using advanced automated systems. This will significantly improve road safety and provide substantial benefits to people from Ambala and surrounding districts. The Transport Minister stated that following the registration of the land, the establishment of the Driving Training & Research Institute and Automated Vehicle Testing Station will be expedited. Sh. Vij further said that the project will create hundreds of direct and indirect employment opportunities. The institute will help thousands of young people from nearby districts enhance their driving skills and professional competencies through advanced training programs. In addition, the Automated Vehicle Testing Station will be capable of conducting fitness inspections of approximately 300 vehicles per week. He emphasized that the Haryana Government is committed to making transport services more efficient, accessible, and technology-driven. Continuous efforts are being made to provide citizens with modern transport-related facilities and services through the adoption of advanced technologies. *Benefits of the Driving Training & Research Institute (IDTR)* The Driving Training & Research Institute (IDTR) is a specialized facility established to promote road safety and impart modern driving skills. Key features of the institute include scientific driver training, state-of-the-art simulators, automated driving tracks, and comprehensive courses for both light and heavy motor vehicles. The institute focuses on encouraging safe driving practices and reducing road accidents through professional training. *Benefits of the Automated Vehicle Testing Station (ATS)* Automated Vehicle Testing Stations use advanced automated machinery to conduct vehicle fitness inspections. After successful testing, vehicles are issued a Fitness Certificate, which is valid throughout India. Such testing helps reduce road accidents by ensuring that only roadworthy vehicles are allowed to operate. Vehicles that fail to meet safety and technical standards are not granted fitness certificates. The testing process evaluates all critical technical parameters of a vehicle to ensure compliance with prescribed safety norms.

    Under the leadership of Haryana Energy Minister Sh. Anil Vij, the state's power utilities continue to achieve significant milestones in the energy sector. The Minister has been placing special emphasis on the effective implementation of the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, regularly reviewing its progress and providing necessary directions to senior officials of the New and Renewable Energy Department and power distribution companies. As a result of these sustained efforts, Haryana has earned national recognition for its outstanding performance under the flagship solar energy scheme. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India, has selected Haryana for honours in three categories during the national event titled “PM Surya Ghar Excellence Awards”, scheduled to be held in New Delhi on June 4, 2025. The awards are being conferred in recognition of Haryana’s exceptional performance during the “Month of Solar” campaign conducted in May 2026, under the PM Surya Ghar Excellence Awards. Haryana will receive awards in the three categories, in which included Month of Solar – Maximum Consumer Applications: Third Position with 17,142 applications, Month of Solar – Maximum Solar Installations: Second Position with 11,983 installations and Month of Solar – Maximum DISCOM Inspections (UHBVN & DHBVN): Third Position with 12,514 inspections. This achievement reflects the visionary leadership of the Haryana Government and the dedicated efforts of the Energy Department, Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency (HAREDA), Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN), Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN), field-level officials, and implementation partners. It may be noted that the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana was launched in February 2024 with the ambitious goal of installing rooftop solar systems in one crore households across the country by March 2027. Currently, more than 40 lakh families nationwide have benefited from the scheme, while over 32 lakh rooftop solar systems have already been installed. In Haryana alone, 86,152 rooftop solar systems have been installed so far. The state has set a target of installing 2.20 lakh rooftop solar systems by March 31, 2027. Efforts are being accelerated to ensure that more households adopt clean energy solutions and benefit from reduced electricity bills. A delegation of officials associated with the PM Surya Ghar scheme will receive the awards on behalf of the Haryana Government at the national event. This recognition is being viewed as a significant endorsement of Haryana’s efforts to promote renewable energy, strengthen energy self-reliance, and accelerate the adoption of clean and green energy across the state.
