Odisha to train women drivers for Ama buses

The Odisha government has decided to train and hire women drivers for their state-run 'Ama' buses.

This decision was made to improve road safety and provide more job opportunities for women.

Twenty women will go to Pune for special training on driving electric buses.

The government is also setting up a new training institute to teach drivers about safe driving, traffic rules, and how to behave on the road.

They are also checking drivers for alcohol to prevent accidents.

This comes after a recent accident involving an Ama bus.
