Empowering Change: Governor Indra Sena Reddy Nallu Champions Transformative Driving Training for Women in Jirania

Driving Training for Women: A Step Towards Empowerment in Tripura

Agartala, 5th November 2024: Governor Indrasena Reddy Nallu underscored the importance of driving training for women at a recent event at the Institute of Driving Training and Research in Jirania. The program saw the Governor distributing certificates to women who had successfully completed their driving courses, emphasizing driving as a critical life skill that could enhance women’s employment opportunities and problem-solving capabilities.

Governor Nallu advocated for widespread driving training for women across various institutes and highlighted its potential benefits for government employees, particularly fourth-class workers. He urged state police to incorporate driving training into the regimen for home guards and stressed the necessity of awareness of traffic laws, declaring that women equipped with driving skills would gain unique respect and pride.

In a move to simplify access to driving licenses, the Governor also called for an expedited process for children who have learned to drive.

Transport Minister Sushanta Chowdhury, attending the event, applauded the government’s commitment to women’s empowerment. He linked the distribution of driving certificates to this cause, contrasting the current administration’s tangible initiatives with the previous government’s rhetoric on women’s empowerment, which lacked actionable plans. Chowdhury referenced the introduction of a 33 percent reservation for women as a mark of progress, suggesting that this reservation would extend to driver positions in government departments in the future.

The Minister acknowledged the evolving roles of women, who are now participating across diverse fields such as medicine, engineering, and law. He emphasized the changing landscape where women are no longer solely dependent on men and are stepping into previously male-dominated professions like driving.

Concluding the ceremony, both Governor Nallu and Minister Chowdhury jointly presented driving certificates to the graduates, congratulating them on their accomplishments.
