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.
