Bengaluru Plans Free Autos for Women, Transgender Drivers
The government in Bengaluru is looking into helping women and transgender individuals become auto drivers.
They're starting with a free driving training program to teach them how to drive autos.
The goal is to help these groups find jobs and become self-sufficient.
If the plan goes through, the government might give away free autos to those who finish the training.
The program also includes classes on how to manage money and talk to customers.
This is meant to encourage more women to use public transport and promote inclusivity in transportation.
A free auto-driving training program is launched for women and transgender persons.
The program is organized by B.PAC and CGI.
BDA Chairman will discuss providing free autos to those who complete training.
Training will also include leadership, communication, and financial skills.
The initiative aims to promote financial independence and inclusivity.
