Maruti Suzuki driving training and Traffic Research institute coming up in Andhra Pradesh

The country’s largest automaker Maruti Suzuki has signed an MoU with the Government of Andhra Pradesh to set up the Institute of Driving Training and Traffic Research (IDTR) in Andhra Pradesh. The new institute will be located in Venkatachalam Village in Darsi, Prakasham district. The upcoming institute is indeed the first of such institutes to be inaugurated in South India by Maruti Suzuki.

Speaking about it, Mahesh Rajoria, assistant vice president (driving training), Maruti Suzuki India Limited said, “The inception of Driving Training and Traffic Research Institutes was with an aim to upscale professional driver training and lay down the ground rules for safe driving. Maruti Suzuki has been working on this front for over a decade now. I am confident that our experience in this field of road safety will add immense value to this newest facility.” Along with tribal development to promote road safety and driving, the company will also co-ordinate with government bodies to offer employment opportunities among the tribal youths.

The institute will be spread in over 20 acres of government land which will be operated and managed by Maruti Suzuki. Alongside the institute building, the automaker will also build a hostel and training tracks. The company expects to complete the institute construction by 2018.
